Sheff Utd. v. Fulham [R]

Excellent match preview from HatterDon himself! Nice work Don!

Very important match tomorrow. Fulham must keep the momentum moving forward and a road win against a team below us in the table would be fantastic. It will not be easy as Sheffield United has proven to be a tough customer at Brammall Lane but I like our chances.

It should be interesting to see and hear the reaction given to former Sheffield United star Michael Brown tomorrow in a Fulham uniform wearing the captain's armband.

As mentioned above, I like our chances, but it will not be easy. I like us winning 1-0 or 2-1.

 

The blades are not an easy team to beat on their home patch. From a personal point of view, my father-in-law is a blades fan, so it would be very nice to do the double over them.

No-nonsense centre back (an a fav. player of mine) Chris Morgan is suspended, along with the vastly experience Keith Gilespie.

Tounge is a player that has never lived up to his potential, but on his day can still hurt a team. I think we are stonger in all departments and think Don is just about right on team selection, execpt that Smirnoff Ice may start ahead of Davies, with us playing a diamond.

BBC gives the squad as:

Lastuvka, Niemi, Rosenior, Davies, Christanval, Bocanegra, Smertin, Queudrue, Routledge, Brown, Volz, Radzinski, McBride, Jensen, Knight, Dempsey, Montella.

I think your American chappy Dempsey will come on at half time and I think he will score his first Fulham goal in a 2-0 will - another clean sheet for a defence that is growing into the job.

 

Sheff Utd

I hope I am totally wrong on this one, but Sheff utd are one of our many bogey teams, they have an evil eye on us and have done for many years. I have to admit being for the first time in a long time semi excited about this new look Fulham team that CC is crafting, it as all the parts to make it not only effective but exciting, but that said Bramell Lane is a very cold and hostile place to go, and thats in May, in January it is downright nasty up there. I will take another draw, and then i think we can do the geordies at home on Saturday.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see a draw or even a loss, Sheffield have been a pretty decent side lately, but I'm looking for the win :banana:

We've got enough quality with most of our guys back from injury that we should be able to win this.

Prediction 4-1 Fulham

 

Anywhere to watch this game or listen to it live in the US?

 

Alright thanks. I'm sure I'll be in the chatroom at some point when I get a chance. I guess I'll have to use ESPN Soccernet again.

 

This will be a great opportunity to listen via Gentleman Jim and Fulham TV. You can get a 24 hour MatchDay pass for like $4.00. And you can listen to other matches. Do it!

 

Unfortunately our official site is down at the moment, so I don't think it'll be possible to get a MatchDay pass today...

 

I think it'll be a tough old match today, but it'll be a good test of our new signings. I wish I could watch it, but that's life...

 

I like the way the team is playing and I think that with the suspensions and injuries for Shef. We will get the 3 points on the road - (2-1).

Lastuvka
Liam - Zat - Christ - Que
Rout - Brown - Volz - Radz
McBride - Montella

 

I'm going to check if BBC London or BBC Sheffield is broadcasting the match. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't black it out in the States.

 

Perhaps we can access via Shitfield's site??

 

You the man, Dave.

What's the best kind of stuff? Free stuff.

 

Hmmmm. No Christanval, no Russian. Hope we don't need them.

 

Yeah thanks Dave. Any luck so far?
