Fulham vs Bristol City (Round Two)

[JJH]

Two games at Craven Cottage this year, two 90th minute winners.

Not really sure what to expect from Fulham, nor am I using last night as an indicator; but they seem to have sorted their defensive fragilities out and would probably be doing pretty well if they'd have kept hold of McCormack and Dembele.

As for us, much changed team from last night. O'Neil back in which is massive as well

Lucic
Little, Flint, Magnusson, Bryan;
Reid, O'Neil;
Paterson, Tomlin, O'Dowda;
Abraham.
​

Maybe too early for Lucic, but he was superb last night so worth a go. Matthews is back, but Little's really upped his game over the last few weeks and deserves his starting place. Injury doubt over Bryan, if so bring in Golbourne as we did last week.

1-0 Fulham. 90th minute Matt Smith winner, meltdowns galore.

Did u go last night? Was interested to hear how lucic got on, can't see him starting Saturday though. Fulham will make wholesale changes too so as you said, can't take yesterday's game as an indicator of how it could go. Sounds like Odowda had a good game though so should start.

 

[BCFC David]

I see our league form pushing on after last night. We have some very winnable games coming up. I see the next 8 games shaping our season.

First trip to Fulham, missed last season. 2-0, Tammy and Tomlin.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Last night could give us a psychological edge if nothing else. Id be content with a point with two very winnable home games coming up.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Think I'd start Lucic again as well, very harsh to drop Fielding after last week but if Matt Smith's playing there's no chance he's gonna be winning that aerial battle. Also feels harsh leaving out O'Donnell, hasn't really done anything wrong apart from that poor Wednesday error (still a bit suspicious about that, perhaps LJ is as well) but if we've got a potential gem of a keeper in Lucic, it's worth getting him in the side on a consistent basis.

Sorry mate, I've only just seen this. I didn't go, one of my old mates went with his old man and text me about it after. Said that Lucic was fantastic, a real imposing figure and made some very good decisions under pressure. Freeman had a great game, O'Dowda was pretty anonymous, but Freeman came out from the game with a missed one-on-one and O'Dowda came out with two assists, which is quite telling.

Aaron-Bcfc I don't think it'll be Smith, more likely to be Martin but the point still stands. He'll bully Fielding.

Abraham last minute winner

 

[TTOCS]

Expecting a win today to keep touch with the play off chasers.

We are due a straightforward one. 0-2.

 

[JJH]

Surprisingly confident. Early train into Paddington for a comprehensive win in the capital again (probably not).

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Ooh arrr, its a massacre!!!

 

[JonBCFC]

Sounds like Fulham were lunging into our players as well when we were 3-0 up! Why that was fuck knows. 1 got sent off, sounds as though 2 more should have been red carded too.

Did they injure any of your players? Please?

Hopefully not! Listening to post match interview Johnson said Tammy has a bit of a dead leg, hopefully he will play Tuesday though he's awesome

Enjoy.

Knew for me to be confident something was up.

4-0 was probably a bit harsh on Fulham as they were the better side in the first half, but the second half was an absolute onslaught. Played some fucking excellent stuff, Tomlin and Paterson were unbelievable. Flint solid, back to his best and rewarded with a goal.

Great day, we love Craven Cottage. Away end was rocking. Shoutout to the Fulham stewards for being the biggest jobsworths in the country.

 

[BCFC David]

What a day. Scored an early goal and should of had a second but cleared off the line. After that Fulham took control but Button was still the busier of the two keepers. Second half we just picked them off. It really was a joy to watch. There's so much pace and skill in this team that when teams are chasing we will just hit them on the break time and time again. Tomlin sublime (ridiculous assist), Patterson looking ridiculously good business and Tammy just can't stop scoring.

Fulham, when they realised we were just a better team decided to just clatter our players time and time again. Dirty fucks. Shame cuz when they actually passed the ball around they looked good.

Two home games now, I'll say it again, this team is going places.

 

[TTOCS]

Easy enough then.

Shame there are so many wins going around the Championship and not many draws. 14 from 9 would have us 5th in that turgid league below.

 

[JJH]

Just got back, brilliant day out. It's remarkable how far we've come under Johnson; last season we conceded four numerous times, today we executed a perfect away game plan and were on the right end of a comprehensive scoreline, as we were a few times at the end of last season as well.

The "we're just too good for you" chant made me smile, because in the second half it had an element of truth; they couldn't get near us for large parts of it.

Onto Tuesday, what a fantastic performance that was though and a day that will live long in the memory.

 

[Ciderhead]

I like Fulham. Fulham's a nice place. Would go again

 

[City169]

delighted for freeman, he has caused teams issues without any end product at al this season until today.
Hopefully he will kick on from here

Nearly fucked it mind.

 

[BCFC David]

Nearly fucked it mind.

exactly what I said after I finished going mental.
He does look better this year. Keeping the ball moving and looks dangerous at times.

 

[JJH]

Watch this, it's fucking hilarious

 

[WTTJ]

Watch this, it's fucking hilarious

We've all been there. Being dragged home by the old man with a clip round the ear for sulking and swearing under my breath. However at least he supports a proper club like Fulham as I bet most of his mates at school will be Chelsea or Arsenal

He's the Fulham version of you...

Don't be daft, JJH is far more negative.

As if I'd still be there when 4-0 down at home...

 

[Ciderhead]

We're 2-0 down. We're shit.
