    More excited than dissapointed, so far. Potential is an extremely overused term, but I like what I see percolating over there off Stevenage Road.

    Fulham (or at least most of the players) seems to have developed a new, fighting attitude this season. I think we may still need to convert a few or weed them out, but maybe Fulham is establishing a persona that goes beyond Fulhamish.

    I checked satisfied. We have picked up nine points, four of which came on the road. We have only had one really bad outing against Manchester United and we are not in the relegation zone.

    Looking forward, the number of injuries in the team right now is troublesome, but if the boys can continue to play with heart, passion and energy all the time, anything is possible.

    Excited. Our away form is good. Well on the way not to be relagated and starting to find new ways to play our players!

    Satisfied... CC is going to make some moves in January and he's weeding out the prospective benchsitters by playing them now.

    Ha-ha, good point! Some of our guys are playing (or not playing) themselves right out the door.

    Excited with the way the team is playing. While we still concede goals Zat Knight is playing like an England international. We are playing well and some of our injured players are now starting to return to the team which is good news especially with our scheduel coming up.

    Satisfied; I like the fighting attitude. I want everyone in the Prem to feel that 90 minutes with the Whites is going to result in aches and pains in the treatment room the next morning.

    I think we'll do better as injuries begin to heal and the first team squad gets better.

    My biggest disappointment so far is the early exit from the Carling Cup. We need a good cup run to stimulate income and get some excitement around the country. I agree with a point that ChiTom made a while back that it's also our best ticket to Europe.

    When a team is fighting relegation or pushing from promotion, a cup run can be distracting, but for a team not worrying about either, a good cup run can mean everything. See the Hammers last season.

    Satisfied...like others considering what could have been looking at it both on the positive or negative side....but 9 points is 31 points away from the "mythical 40 point safe zone"....as l ong as the boys keep working hard and not taking just o.k. for effort and results good things will happen....COYW

    This is a good start. We have played Man U & Chelsea and apart from the first game of the season we have not looked lost.

    When the injured players come back it will feel like new signing as we have so many quality plays out.

    I think 42-44 points is going to be safe this season as Watford and Sheffield United go down with few points.

    I'm quite satisfied so far. We've played tough through adversity and have not folded. It would be easy to just give up after losing many players to injury and getting blown out by Man U. But we did not and we're sitting nicely in the middle of the table just now. When we start getting our guys back from injuries and if we make a few good moves in the January transfer window, we'll have a good finish.

    I voted 'satisfied'. I'm happy with the away points Fulham have picked up so far. My biggest concern is lack of goal scoring. I would also like more attacking lineups (example: Radz and Routledge rather than Boca and Volz in midfield).

    Rummy, I think lots of people are leaning towards the line-up you suggest. What is amazing is that we have managed wins and draws while sorting the midfield out. I think Routledge, Brown, Diop, Radz could be solid and established for present and the immediate future.

    I'd love to see Gooch at Craven Cottage. A consistent, quality striker would also be a benefit. We might do well to nab another good midfielder, though, as we've had to play Boca and Volzy at midfield the past few matches.
