Fulham vs. Wolverhampton

The team needs to quickly turn around from Friday's joyous victory over QPR to host Wolverhampton on Tuesday. This is a winnable match for us, especially if we play like we did against QPR. The Wolves have struggled a bit so far this year managing only a draw against a 9-man Preston team on Saturday.

I'd like to see the same lineup we had against QPR since everything was clicking. Even if Richards is healthy, I think Fredericks earned a shot at the starting XI. I'm also not sure how much longer we have Husband. His one month loan started on August 28, but there has been talk of extending it.

 

Teams that compete for playoff spots string together 3 points when in form and don't fall victim to a letdown after a big win. Very curious about how we'll react, but feeling optimistic the lads will get er' done.

How good is the situation for Middlesborough at LB to loan him away in the first place?

 

Boro must not see us as a threat:

I'm glad this game is at the Cottage. I would be more concerned about a let-down if this game was at Molineux. Attendance for this game will be interesting since it's a rescheduled Tuesday night game. I would be surprised if Wolves bring many fans.

I think Fredericks vs. Richards is the only real selection decision Kit needs to make, but I would be very surprised if Fredericks doesn't start. I thought he was immense against QPR both offensively and defensively. He used his pace to put out fires when QPR looked dangerous (really only in the first half), and then exploded down the wing on the overlap. He's our RB until dethroned.

 

Well...

EDIT: Chicago beat me to it haha. I do feel like this is a very winnable match for us, especially with the form that we've been in

 

FYI, my antivirus program threw a red flag on that site. It blocked something, but didn't say what. Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

 

Remember a couple years ago when MaF was making some curious decisions and HD correctly forecasted the eventual sale of the club? Well when Wolves sold Stearman to Fulham it was a precursor to today's announcement that Wolverhampton owner Steve Morgan has put Wolves up for sale.

 

When recounting who should be in the starting XI I forgot to mention last week's 12th man - the Jacksonville Jaguar cheerleaders! They were unfortunately overlooked in MotM voting that they should have won. Is it any coincidence that we have our best home game in ages when they are there?! If we don't score in the first two minutes on Tuesday it will be proof that we need to have cheerleaders on a permanent basis. Like my Ma always said "Correlation is causation!"

 

OMG! The club didn't even mention the cheerleaders in a post about the 12th Man!

As for Husband, I haven't seen anything official, but he's still listed as a player on the website. I guess we'll find out in about 45 minutes if he is still on loan.

 

The guide is showing an English Championship League match on BeIn today. Doesn't say what teams, but maybe?

 

The lineup:
Lonergan
Fredericks, Stearman, Ream, Husband
Cairney, Tunnicliffe, O'Hara, Pringle
McCormack, Dembele

Subs: Lewis, Voser, Burn, Mattila, Kavanagh, Christensen, Woodrow

Glad to see Fredericks and Husband. I'm surprised Richards isn't even on the bench.

 

Richards was listed as still injured, with Parker, Garbutt & some others.

 

It seems the last couple of seasons that anytime Fulham looks like they might get on a little roll an untimely (I know there isn't such a thing as a timely one) red card appears. Extremely frustrating this issue keeps rearing its' ugly head.

 

So I have an afternoon of meetings and I finally get a chance to see what is happening in the 80th minute and we are down 2-0 with a red card in the first half?! What happened? Where were those guys who played so well on Friday?
