Fulham v Leicester - Pre-match thread (August 24th)

[420Hashish]

Great result tonight. Looking forward to watching us again and backing the team. 

 

Score predictions? 

[foxfanazer]

They looked decent against United but very wasteful up front. Another draw would be alright I reckon

Another point would be nice. Can we play football in both half’s 

[FoxesWalk]

 

Will he get the start up front this time

Faes

Vestergaard

Kristiansen

 

Winks

Skipp

I'm hoping this isn't a case of what we used to do under Rodgers where we put up a good fight against a top 6 team and then fall flat against a midtable team.

[Happy Fox]

Would be lovely to win this.

 

Think we will, Skipp should offer us more protection in the middle of the park, and our Forward players can have more impact.

I thought ndidi had a good game was everywhere, was good on the ball and harassed the opposition, just hope Reid doesn’t get another start he was very , very poor 

[foxfanazer]

I reckon this will be a tougher game than Spurs. They move the ball really nicely. Need to defend well

[RumbleFox]

This is by no means said in an arrogant or presumptuous way but purely from necessity. If we want to stay up these are the kinds of games we need to win.

 

Also, starting to wish I’d out Vardy in my fantasy team. Absolute GOAT. I said on here before the start of the season he’d score goals then doubted myself.

Yet he shows last night that all he wants to do is jog around the pitch ball watching. He just infuriates me

Exactly the team i'd play too. I think a bit harsh on Wilf because I thought he was excellent in the 2nd half last night.

They were miles better then Man U the other night and deserved to win. Going to be a very tough game to get anything out of it

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Assuming no signings are made in time:

 

Mads

 

Ricardo

Faes

Vestergaard

Justin

 

Skipp

Winks

 

BDCR 

Buonanotte

Fatawu

 

Vardy

 

id want JJ and Fatawu on the left to combat Traore. As well as Wilf played last night Skipp will offer more energy and they are busy in that area of the pitch.

Not so sure about that. I reckon a point at Fulham would be a good result for us.

 

My guess is we'll only win 2 or 3 away games this year and those will be against teams down at the bottom with us.

Usually I’d agree but with the points deduction I really think we have to target this as a winnable game. 

[Happy Fox]

We need to target at least 45 plus points this season and hope that should be enough to stay up with the pending points deduction (8 points I reckon) so about 13 wins and 3 draws will be required give or take.

 

 

[FOXSE]

We are playing a team below us in the league.... Win!

That’s the one. Quite excited for this now !

[Jack1993]

Not worried about this at all, just look at the league table, they're only out of the relegation zone on goal difference. As a top half club if we don't win this comfortably then it's not good enough I'm afraid. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Might even have a couple of new signings to throw into mix

 

though I still wouldn’t start Ayew or Fofana

Traore's total inability to deliver an end product is the best at combating Traore 

[Gloria]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but when would a new signing have to be made by to play in this game (assuming no work permit shenanigans)?
