Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 need a win here - 2 wins from 12 in the league Wanyama and new striker to start?
kwsaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Thought Gallagher looked pretty good. He's 18 and playing in the PL. Give him a couple of years and think how good he'll be.
doubleonothing Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 My Swansea supporting mate says Fulham were very poor tonight and offered little. A Fulham fan I know has been of the belief they will win on Saturday but after their game tonight thinks they have gone backwards and is hoping for a draw. They are also (apparently) in the running to bring in Mitroglu for 14mill. If they manage to get him, it would give them a real boost, but is probably just paper talk Looking forward to it, and my first visit to a "neutral zone"!
Batman Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 fulham are going down. just hope we dont get caught out at theirs
EBS1980 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 need a win here - 2 wins from 12 in the league Wanyama and new striker to start? Who would u drop for Vic to come back in? Cork and Morgan are playing great at the mo. Vic on the bench for now..
Turkish Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Play like we did tonight we'll smash them. They are poor and in bit trouble. Should definitely be looking to get 3 points from this one.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Author Posted 28 January, 2014 Who would u drop for Vic to come back in? Cork and Morgan are playing great at the mo. Vic on the bench for now.. Good point mate. Cork has been sensational, couldn't drop him
norwaysaint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I'll be happy if they keep faith with Gallagher.
Dalek2003 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 We could do with a win. Always hard away from home and Fulham fighting for their lives.
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 We're in a good place at the moment, performance levels have picked up significantly and we are back to the side which shocked teams at the start of the year. Maybe we're not quite getting the results we should have, but all we have to do is continue as we have been doing and it will turn. Fulham's defence is utterly, utterly, utterly dog ****e. As long as we're solid, we should cause them all sorts of issues. Maybe we'll have a debutant too...
SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Maybe we'll have a debutant too... Don't think Poch gave much away on Solent tonight about that. I think if we get out of the traps early, we could do to Fulham what we did against Cardiff.
EBS1980 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Dejan back sooner than planned to. More good news tonight
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Dejan back sooner than planned to. More good news tonight eh?
EBS1980 Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 eh? Dejan tweeted saying I'll be back sooner than you think
S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Dejan tweeted saying I'll be back sooner than you think Cheers! Things are turning!
wessex saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Just a reminder you can get tickets still right next to our allocation in the ' neutral' zone ( nothing neutral about it... Will be full of saints fans). Lets have a London party and 3 pts please!
The Cat Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 My 8 year olds first away game. We really should be winning this one.
Saint Garrett Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Be interesting to see if they get a big lift from any new signings, supposedly signed a Greek striker for £10m today... Hope we can just suffocate then like we did at home, easiest 3 points all seasonz

trousers Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Same starting 11 as tonight for me. New geezer and Wanyama on the bench
S-Clarke Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Same starting 11 as tonight for me. New geezer and Wanyama on the bench Wouldn't disagree with that, would be interesting to see how Sam gets on with a 2nd go. But based on our first half, you really wouldn't change a thing for the next game. It was beyond perfection.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Same starting 11 as tonight for me. New geezer and Wanyama on the bench And Rickie as well!
Pastor Patrón Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Gallagher needs a rest, he looked knackered second half, lets not run him into the ground
trousers Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 And Rickie as well! I thought I read something earlier that said he was possibly out for 2 weeks or so? Might have imagined it. But, yep, Rickie on the bench if the injury has cleared up.
Jack Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I'm confident about this one, and looking forward to it. Should be a decent turnout from our lot with most of the neutral seats sold quickly, presumably to Saints fans.
Saint_clark Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Spare junior ticket going in the away end, anyones for a tenner (meet you up there). Good tip for this game - Saints-1 handicap is 31/10 on ladbrokes.
studentsaint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Looking forward to another London away trip. Cork can't be dropped but feel Lambert will start if fit. Poch used Gallagher because he had too and although I liked him tonight, it's still early doors. Possibly a new signing? J rods pace to be too much for hangeland senderos and riise (could do what Johnson did to him for Sunderland).
Lighthouse Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Can't think of any reason to change tonight's team. Wanyama and Lambert are obvious candidates but Gallagher and Cork deserve to stay in the team. Hopefully Fulham are as dreadful as they were at St Mary's earlier in the season. Probably our easiest win since we returned to the Premier League, they just looked hopeless. Didn't even look like they were trying half the time.
70's Mike Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 got to be careful it is not an after lord mayors show performance
Tokyo-Saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Wanyama and new striker to start? Are you ITK here?
Saint_Tony Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Looks like they're set to sign Mitroglou today, I've mentioned him several times on the transfer threads. Great bit of business by them.Hopefully he won't be ready for Saturday
yorkie Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Oh for the good old days - great result against top of the league and then off to a team struggling and surrender and look very average. Don't think this will happen but The Cottage not a happy hunting ground for Saints. Decent following might see us over the line with a tight 1-0 - we just can't finish teams off at the moment! Win lose or draw - who cares as long as they entertain? Enjoyed last night bar for the 10-mins after HT - felt we just might sneak it in the end. Might need some new legs - but these are professional footballers! Surely they can play two games a week? Following Saints is so much more pleasurable these days - thought Yosh looked pretty solid - and Chambers gets better and better.
Saint Garrett Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Lambert won't be fit IMO. Gallagher or a new signing to start. Have to see what deals we do over the next few days
Greenridge Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Gallagher needs a rest, he looked knackered second half, lets not run him into the ground After two games?
niceandfriendly Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Never seen or even heard of this new fella they're buying, but hopefully just one player shouldn't make too much of a difference.... (famous last words?) 3-1 Saints - Gallagher, Lallana, Davis
igsey Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 We've just drawn with the team at the top of the league and arguably should have won; Fulham are the worst team in the league at the moment, bar none, although they have just about got their central defence sorted out. Gallagher to start once more - if there's a PL game he's going to score in, he won't have a better chance than against Fulham. Three points please!
Saint Fan CaM Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Fulham, while possibly the worst team in the league, will be a completely different proposition to Arse. They will chase and niggle more - could be a difficult game for the lads to control. If we manage to penetrate their defence rather than just play keep ball, it could be a mauling. 1-2 Saints.
Saint_Tony Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I'd expect to see Lambert back, he's scored the last couple of times against Fulham, hopefully he'll be a bit fresher after having a couple of weeks out from competitive action. It will be interesting to see if Wanyama features, but it seems like Cork has been our best performer for the last couple of games.
Patrick Bateman Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Just a reminder you can get tickets still right next to our allocation in the ' neutral' zone ( nothing neutral about it... Will be full of saints fans). Lets have a London party and 3 pts please! Looks like it's sold out - I've just logged in to take a look and there are plenty of tickets in the home ends, but the neutral zone is sold out or not available to buy online?
rick1976.4.38 Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 sort of game saints normally *uck up, lets hope the lads do the job and put their chances that come their way into the net Fulham really are a poor team,have Fulham supporting mates who say they are really s**t at the moment,so lets add to their misery coys
oldsarum Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Looks like it's sold out - I've just logged in to take a look and there are plenty of tickets in the home ends, but the neutral zone is sold out or not available to buy online? still tickets availble at cost price in neutral zone via this website http://www.viagogo.co.uk/fulhamfc/Sports-Tickets/Football/Barclays-Premier-League/Fulham-FC-Tickets/E-552184

warsash saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Is that a trusted site? If so what stand is the 'neutral zone' in? Also anyone know if there are any Away tickets up for grabs anywhere? You part-timer!!
JRM Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 still tickets availble at cost price in neutral zone via this website http://www.viagogo.co.uk/fulhamfc/Sports-Tickets/Football/Barclays-Premier-League/Fulham-FC-Tickets/E-552184 wow there are some cheap seats below cost price in other parts of the ground on there, worth using for people who just want to see the game. the "Neutral stand" is the Putney end for those wanting to buy, it is the same stand as away fans and you enter using the same turnstiles. £35 in there at the moment. for many games the neutral area is just an extension of the away end so you don't need to worry about being in with home fans, the ones who do go in there tend to be Japanese tourists taking lots of photos , and Aussies who just want to go to a soccer match
thesaint78 Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Those £35 neutral tickets incur an £8.30 booking charge on top of that. And we moan about the £1/£2 booking fee Saints charge! I'm going to chance it on the day and head to Craven Cottage without a ticket. Worst case buy something in the home end without that enormous booking charge. Anyone with a spare adult in the away end, let me know and I'd be happy to pay face value for it.

Greedyfly Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 You part-timer!! Haha tosser. So I assume you'll be going then?
Victor Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Surely worth trying Cork & Wanyama against Fulham with one of them partnering Jose.
S-Clarke Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Surely worth trying Cork & Wanyama against Fulham with one of them partnering Jose. Or not.
Matthew Le God Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 Surely worth trying Cork & Wanyama against Fulham with one of them partnering Jose. Or not. Wanyama has played as a centre back in the past and Yoshida doesn't fill me with confidence (he was very much our weak link last night). Unlikely to happen on Saturday, but it isn't a completely bizarre suggestion.
