Fulham (H) Build Up

This is a game that Ramires should be at least on the bench. When he came on following an obdurate backs-to-the wall West ham, earlier in the season and we were heading for defeat, his creativity unlocked their defence and we equalised.

 

Another draw 1-1 unless our strikers hit form.

F*cking dreadful. Don't think we've ever not sold out an away allocation in London since we returned to the Prem. 3/4s of their fans were sat down for the full 90 minutes last season as well!

 

Fulham have never travelled in big numbers, and it should be no surprise if they only bring about 1000 to us depsite they fact they are offering free kids tickets and 4 coaches are free as well.

 

not sure if anyone has looked at the number of tickets left, but as this is a 5.30 game live on SKY it should really be a C game for pricing as opposed to a B.

 

I predict attendance will be about 29,200 .

 

hard to know how this game will go, Fulham can be decent on there day, i'll go for a 2-1 win

Premier League team, less than 100 miles away, lots of incentives for fans to travel, team won 4-1 in their last game...would've thought they'd take more than a couple of thousand. Even Reading sold out their allocation at SMS twice in 2 seasons!

because fulham have little support. I am amazed that is appears to be a surprise to you.

much like we have little support compared to man united.

 

fulham have a neutral section in their ground. this should tell anyone that they will struggle to sell out their away allocation for a game outside of london which is on telly

There is that, i'm just amazed that any team in the top tier would take a small amount to a relatively close away game - maybe i've been spoiled by travelling with our lot these past few years..

Agree, especially as many of them live south of the river and into Surrey. QPR, Palace of comparable size etc wouldn't have returned 1000 tickets.

Although Fulham ran out easy winners against Palace last night they did not play particularly well or with much assurance. They tried to play a passing game of sorts but it was slow, not instinctive and often wayward. The speed and accuracy of our game should have them on the back-foot from the get-go. I honestly cannot see them scoring, on the other hand we're not much better in the 18 yard box and will struggle to improve on the odd goal bundled in in a goalmouth scramble so for me 1-0 to Saints, maybe 2-0 if they are generous enough to give us an own goal.

Maybe Fulham's fans have been banned from travelling after their disgraceful behaviour at Palace...

 

Q: You came in for quite a bit of stick at the end from some sections of the fans as you walked off?

 

"......... I didn't like what they singing. Very disrespectful - can we play you every week?

Will Lambert return to the starting 11? Will Ramirez get a place on the bench? Think they're the only two things open to debate. I personally think both things should happen.

 

Fulham are an odd team - got some players of real genuine quality, but overall as a team they look old, slow, tired. Definitely a game we should be looking to win and one which I'd like to think we could score a few in.
