I figure I'll just start the thread for this game as well ... makes me feel important :)
Bolton is coming off a 2-0 win at home over Tottenham, while Fulham is still reeling from the 5-1 shellacking at the hands of Manchester United.
What may seem like an easy game, is certainly not due to two major facts:
A) Fulham is MUCH better at Craven Cottage
B) Quoting Big Sam, "There never seems to be a good time for us to visit Fulham,''
Either way, I'm stuck at work, so updates would be much appreciated.

Still 0-0.

So I missed the match (couldn't even follow it on the internet) due to a meeting with the bosses.
But final 1-1, after trading PKs. Diouf converted a penalty, while Faye's handball in the box at the 90 minute mark resulted in a goal by Bullard from the spot.
I didn't get to see the match at all, so I don't even know if we played well at all ... but a 90th minute PK is a tough way to lose 2 points.
Prenn, any players play particularly well or badly?

Also is there any reason why Stelios isn't playing? Seems odd that one of our better players remains on the bench.

To be honest, and I'm not saying this to rip on Bolton, but you were very lucky to come away with any points from this match.
Absolutely all the more amazing that you almost won.

Did you see the match? Anyone in our squad that stood out (good or bad)?

I'd definately say Campo and Diouf were outstanding, but that's kind of old news.
I was suprised with the quality of Meite for sure, never saw him play before.
Gary Speed was crap.
Sorry didn't focus too much on the play of the Wanderer's players much.

As I understand it fulham were unable to create anything of any note despite being given more posession, that hardly equals us being lucky.

Squad rotation I think, he isn't getting any younger and I think Sam wants to give Vaz Te a run out. Having said that Ricardo has looked off the pace so I'd play Stelios instead this weekend.
