Fulham Away to Bolton

[SoCalJoe]

Well once more the lads are away from the friendly confines of CC as they travel to the Reebok. Is it too much to ask to put in a decent performance? How about finding the back of the net? The last 4 away have produced 1 goal (Pog's winner early in the qpr game). Bolton under Coyle are so much more entertaining than Big Sam's root (canal) one style. They have come together after the Muamba near tragedy (great to hear how well he's doing) and have won 2 Prem matches in a row.

i have a feeling we'll be without the Pog's services or this one (ankle). This should be a team Fuham beats on the road, but Bolton have been playing well and are fighting for survival. I still think we pick up some points...how many? I dunno.

Bolton v Fulham

Bolton boss Owen Coyle was named manager of the month for March after his side won three out of three in the league, and they have picked a very good time to find some form.

The most impressive thing about Wanderers' win at Wolves on Saturday was that they survived being battered in the first half. They hung on in there, which is a good sign because that was something which just was not happening earlier in the season.

As for Fulham, well I remain unconvinced by their away form - they have only won twice on the road in the league, at Wigan in October and at QPR at the end of February - and Pavel Pogrebnyak's ankle injury is not exactly encouraging news for Cottagers fans hoping to add to that tally here.

Prediction: 2-0

We will win this game. We probably shouldn't as we have no recognized forwards, but I believe we will.

[AggieMatt]

We're dire on the road. They're fighting for their Premier League lives. I'm hoping we can take a point but suspect we drop it 1-2. We do tend to pick up more road wins in the final run in though.

Since this is tape delayed until 1600 here in gawd's country, I wouldn't be reporting under normal circumstances. But I haven't written anything in a while and I'm Jonesing.

I plan to be in the chatroom in the morning, though. See you there for what I predict will be a 3-2 loss.

[JackCaz]

I'll be avoiding boards today since i'll be able to watch the replay this evening. First time i'll be able to watch us on TV in over a month since I botched the recording of the ManU match. Streaming is okay, but that gets old.

Got my fingers crossed for a 2-1 win.

Here's the lineups

Bolton starting XI: Bogdan, Ricketts, Ream, Wheater, Alonso, Miyaichi, Pratley, M. Davies, Reo-Coker, Petrov, Ngog

SUBS: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Eagles, Knight, K. Davies, Klasnic, Sordell


FFC starting XI: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, J. Riise, Duff, Dembele, Diarra, Ruiz, Kacaniklic, Dempsey

SUBS: Stockdale, Baird, Senderos, Etuhu, Frei, Davies, Trotta

[CarolinaTim]

That's how we do it!!!

[DCHeather]

Hopefully we can get a repeat performance of the Dempsey and Duff show against Chelsea on Monday.

Thanks to me losing my clicker and having to go on Facebook to bitch about it, I saw the score on my news feed. Dammit, this always happens when we win away from home. Maybe I should never watch an away match because we might win a few more.

While watching the ESPN tonight when the ticker came across for the scores the only match it showed extra info it showed on the EPL was the Fulham score mentioning Dempsey and his 2 goals.

[jimsig]

Great write up Don.

I was not expecting that. Really impressive stuff.

As for the bad news, apparently Jol said after the match that they suspect Ruiz has a broken metatarsal, which would rule him out for the remainder of the season. Not good, but perhaps it will give Kacaniklic, Frei, and Trotta some more time through the home stretch.
