---------------------------------Flintney---------------------------------



------Volz---------------Knight------------------Rehman--------Boca-----



------Malbranque--------------Diop-----------Legwinski-------Boa Morte--



------------------------------Hammond-----------John-------------------



Boa Morte should be back for this match.This will really help the midfield. Malbranque needs to start. Pearce should not start because he has been below average and Knight should start again.VDS and Crossley has done well this year but,next year Flintney will probably start so maybe he should start this year.

VDS and Crossley has done well this year but,next year Flintney will probably start so maybe he should start this year.
I do not think this is the way to go in this match. Perhaps Flitney will be good in due time, but in the biggest match of the season to get a run out is not what I call a good coaching decision. This match is massive for the club. Palace drew against Spurs yesterday at White Hart Lane so they can play on the road. Last time these guys waxed us 2-0 at Sellhurst Park. I do not know what need to be done, but something has to change with the club. The players are not playing well, the injured players are not getting healthy and the coaching staff is just letting this all happen.
Perhaps this next bit is a strange piece of criticism, but I think Fulham needs to get some new trainers and physios in there. I mean people are getting hurt at a rampant pace and when they are hurt, they are not returning. We have been hearing for almost three weeks that Boa Morte and Jensen are coming back, but they are not. Every Friday I read the Physios report and x amount of people are "close to returning to the team." Frankly I think that sucks. What kind of training and rehab regimens are these injured players put on? Well, they are not working. I know we have some injury prone players, but this whole injury thing is getting way out of control. If Fulham had their full squad, we perhaps would not be biting our nails off the next five months worrying about getting relegated.

This match is huge and Fulham need 3 points.Fulham need to buy like 3 or 4 players in January. A Forward would help alot. 2 Midfielders and a Defender.Fulham has an ok defense they just need a little more help.The midfield is way below average. Plus a forward because Cole,Mcbride,John,Radz have not been doing so good. John will probably be the starter next year but,he needs to finish those chances. Hammond should get a chance to start. He hasnt really got a chance yet this year he should get a chance to start.

Fulham has an ok defense they just need a little more help.
What exactly is okay about a defense that has given up 15 goals in the last eight league matches? Sounds like they need more than a little help if you ask me. I agree with you that the midfield stinks. It all adds up together. The midfield cannot get the ball to the forwards to score the goals and they also cannot get back to help much in defense leaving the team vulernable in many areas. Boca has not been that good, Knight and/or Pearce have been lackluster and Rehmann is still young back there. Who knows what will happen on Saturday. I hope they can get it together back there and in the midfield. If not, it could be a long second half of the season for us Fulham fans.

Yes Fulhams defense is not that good but, the main problem is the midfield.Plus Pearce/Knight have been way below average.The midfield needs the most help. Boa Morte will really help alot. Malbranque needs to play good quality football like he did last year.Diop has done great in some matches even World Class then in other matches he has been a Championship player.Pembridge has been average usually below average.Malbranque has been below average. Legwinski hasnt really done well.Jensen and Boa Morte were doing great.Radz and John are forwards not midfielders.Fulham need a couple of midfielders.

[Tricky Tree]

Lacking wingers I would add. Charlton used the width of the pitch far better and played horizontal and diagonal balls and did not just aim straight up the middle for the front two every time. The Cottagers were too predictable.

Good God... If I didn't know any better I'd think Gentleman Jim is about to have a heart attack after Radz's goal!!!!! He's rendered (nearly) speechless!!! When was the last time FFC did that to their commentator?!?!

What a fantastic game so far!

Massive win for Fulham this morning! That was a must win and the boys got it done. I am proud of the way the team responded. It was nice to have Boa Morte back as well. I hope this continues on Wednesday at Southampton!
