    Fulham in 2018: 16 games, 13 wins, 3 draws.

    Impressive.

    It's interesting how the remaining fixtures are set. Apart from the last game, they never play at the same time.

    Cardiff play
    Then Fulham play 2
    Then Cardiff play 2
    Then 1, 1 and last game.

    The Millwall away game is gonna be key for Fulham I think.

    April 14
    Norwich v Cardiff - 10am
    Fulham v Brentford-1230pm. This must be on ESPN+

    April 20th
    Millwall v Fulham

    April 21st
    Cardiff v Notts Forest

    April 24th
    Derby v Cardiff (game in hand)

    April 27th
    Fulham v Sunderland

    April 28th
    Hull v Cardiff

    May 6th (Play at same time)
    Cardiff v Reading
    Birmingham v Fulham

    Ah Millwall. The Father of the Hooligans. Their return to the Premiership would herald the End of Times.

    The top 7 clubs have all featured a Yank or 2 (nearly a dozen in the case of Fulham) at one point in time.

    Cardiff having the honor of EJ

    It's the Championship. Barry Douglas looks ace with Wolves but the Scottish NT wouldn't dream to call him for a competitive game.

    For some reason, USA soccer fans over-estimate the Championship.

    Aren't most of the Scottish NT players in Scotland (a league equivalent to League 1) or the Championship itself?

    I don't think we over-estimate. We put value on it as we don't have many PL players anymore. And it's still above MLS....for now

    That's sort of the point. Grant Hanley is with Norwich in the Championship, where he looks ok. But he looks even a bit better with Scotland, so he's a regular in games that matter for them.

    Ream looks quite good with Fulham, so we call him to the NT and there he looks mediocre at best. But we keep calling him for important games, because he just looks so good with his club --even though it's just a second division.

    The Scots don't do that: if you look ace with your Championship club, but don't look so good with their NT, they just don't put you on the field.

    Most of the Scottish squad is from the Scottish league or the Championship.

    So they call up whomever they can. Several of their PL players aren't even starters

    Maybe the USMNT and Scotland can talk about which route is better while watching the WC in a bar somewhere.

    well I was simply curious about guys who play well for their club team and yet are atrocious for their NT. (though it would be more interesting for players in top divisions).

    I think the problem is he doesn’t suck. He won’t carry us through a World Cup, but he’s versatile and a professional. Certainly at least equal to the MLS/LigaMX CB options.

    Our fan base - maybe just BS - is especially harsh on defenders.

    Ream is a candidate for YA of the season for me.
