I'm hoping to see at least 7 points from these next three matches ...
If we can collect a full 3 this coming match against Derby then we could potentially move up quite a few spots in the standings, considering the difficult week that some of the other lower-table teams are in for ... Wigan play Portsmouth, Middlesbrough play Chelsea, Birmingham play Man City ...
If we can get some other favorable outcomes, like West Ham beating Sunderland and Newcastle beating Tottenham, or even drawing them ... we could be going into the Sunderland game with our destiny in our own hands ...
Everyone's been saying that Fulham's place in the table doesn't accurately represent how good they are as a team ... well, these next three games are the time to prove that, and make some serious headway before we have to play Liverpool away, Blackburn at home and then ManU away ...
All that said, how does everyone else think Fulham are going to do over these next three games?

If we don't get at least two wins, I'm seriously worried... We should be able to take 7 points, if not more.

We got all the right results except our own ... in a way ... three points should have been taken, but the one we did collect moved us up into 13th on the table ... deservedly placed or not ...
Let's hope that the next two games see us collecting those other 6 points ...

Well I'm in the same boat as you Square. We have to pick some points up within the next 3 or we just dug our own grave. After reading about the Derby game this weekend it sounds like if we could have keep a full team on the pitch we would have had a better chance. No more excusses we need to play better football!!!

The game against Derby was a disaster... Absolutely terrible football.

If the Derby game is termed a disaster, then I'd hate to know what the Sunderland game could be called ...
How David Healy managed to miss that wide open goal will always be a mystery to me ...

I didn't get to watch the game but I did read about it and that was enough! Sounds like we need McBride and Konchesky back.

Amazing game, amazing performance, amazing atmosphere, and three points...
I couldn't have had a better day.

Couldn't agree more ...
I recorded the game earlier and am watching it now ... only just past the half way mark, but I know the score already (couldn't help it ... had to know if we won one or not, lol)
Who knows ... maybe the boys will keep this form up. :)

Simon Davies (18)
Clint Dempsey (72)
David Healy (90)
That is exactly the kind of scoring breakdown we needed.
3 solid points and not a moment too soon.

Man, that guy was all over the place, winning 50/50 balls and putting them right where someone else could make a play.

No doubt Kuqi made a huge impact ... that header that Deuce finished off is exactly the kind of plays that Fulham need in the box.
I think that Davies deserves a lot of credit for this past game too ... his ball control and passing were right on target.
At least Healy didn't miss this game's sitter ...

How about when the Fulham defender was sent off with a red card - did you see the look on the Reading player who was actually trying to help the Fulham defender -- he couldn't believe it and did a double take w/ his mouth open when the ref. flashed the red card. That was classic.
