PREVIOUS MEETING:
Sunday, August 21st. Wolves 2- Fulham 1
It was a case of missed opportunities for Fulham at Molineux in August. Despite creating several first half opportunities Fulham lacked a cutting edge in the final third and two late first half goals by Wolves were enough to earn the home side a 2-0 win and all three Barclays Premier League points. Goals from Doyle & Garvis.

 

Hopefully we've FINALLY turned the corner (I feel like I've said that here before several times this season), and can take care of business at home against a clearly inferior side.

3-0 Fulham.

 

Pretty much my thoughts as well. We're due for a nice easy win. Keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Wolves have been scoring pretty consistently. We will need to score at least 2 in order to win in my opinion.

 

Wolves showed a lot of heart by coming back after being down 2 goals away to Newcastle and getting a point last week. They are fighting for their lives so the lads had better be ready to go. That said Wolves have the identical away record as Fulham (2 wins, 5 draws, 6 losses) so anything else than 3 points would be disappointing. Glad the game is Sunday to give Deuce an extra day's rest. 3-1 to the good guys.

 

This is a bogey match for Fulham - in good form, a bottom half club, looking for revenge on an earlier defeat...

My internet has been a bit wonky this weekend but assuming it's working I'll be there.

Still predicting an easier win tomorrow. After today's results, 3 points could really help us gain some ground.

 

Here's the lineup for Fulham

Schwarzer – Riise, Hangeland, Pogrebnyak, Johnson, Murphy, Senderos, Duff, Hughes, Dempsey, Dembele

 

Pogrebnyak is a stud!

 

Top half of the table! !!

 

Pogrebnyak is the truth! Great find by Jol!

 

:dance:


This was much easier than I ever expected. What a truly dominant performance by the whole squad.

Probably the most offensively dangerous we've looked all season. Pog is of course my MOTM but Dempsey, AJ and Dembele were all in top form as well. Riise even had some amazing chances.

Also glad we got to see a little of Diarra and that pass to Dempsey for the 5th goal was a thing of beauty.

Just a few months ago, 8th place seemed like a dream but here we are!

 

Aside from my laptop freezing me out of the chat on a couple of occasions what a great way to start a Sunday! Pog w/a hat trick..really??? Clint now up to 18 in all competitions, greatest season of any American EVER, and we are all witnesses :bow-yellow:

5 goals calls for 5...
