Bolton v Fulham

Striker Davies out for Bolton. Likely replaced by Helguson

Bolton look ripe for the picking. Save Anelka, they are rubbish.
I'd go for Don's lineup there, just switch Davies and Dempsey.

 

I am in favor of seeing Dempsey start on Wednesday. I think it is only a matter of time until he really breaks through and wins the starting job on more of a regular basis. If he only could have slotted that shot into the corner against Arsenal. It is going to be a swell season for us boys!

 

Dempsey deserves to start one of the next 2 games (3 games in 7 days for the team will require some rotation) - let's judge him after he plays 60-90 minutes.

Bolton did not look good on Saturday - the look more bottom half than Fulham.

 

------------ Warner -------------
Volzy/Liam -- Zat -- Boca -- Konchesky
Davies -- Davis -- Smertin -- Cook
-------- Macca -- Kamara --

Bump Deuce for this match in favor of Cook. Couldn't decide whether to feature Liam or Volzy... it is a toss up.

Agree with the comments above related to Bolton looking a bit thin and ripe for the picking. Prime time to run riot on a poor Bolton side. Roll on Wednesday.

 

Re: RE: Bolton v Fulham

How can Davies come on for Dempsey at halftime if you've got them both in your starting lineup?

Warner
Not Baird - Knight - Boca - Konchesky
Davies - Smertin - Davis - Dempsey
McHead - Kamara

Batista
Baird
Bouazza
Diop
Healy

I'd actually like to see Diop dropped from the squad for a match after his post-penalty antics - amateurish in the extreme - but I can't come up with someone else I'd pick to take his spot.

 

RE: Re: RE: Bolton v Fulham

Diop's post goal antics were shameful and embarassing. IMO, you never rob the equalizing side of nabbing the ball out of the net and running to center circle. The Gooners obviously wanted to get the match on its' way which is understandable and for Diop to run around with the ball was a bit childish.

Hopefully LS gave him a good throttling in training.

 

Looks like you have Davis at CM and Davies at LW

Warner
Baird-Knight-Boca-Konchesky
Dempsey-Smertin-Davis-Cook
McBride-Kamara

The Cook, Dempsey & Kamara changes are only to a look at how the team performs with this combination. No knock intended toward Davies, Healy or Bouazza.

 

I'm saying Fulham 2-0....Deuce with a double.

 

Bolton looked pretty bad, getting beat up at home by a team that usually sucks on the road. So unless the refs love Michael Bolton's music, we win 3-1. Helguson with a goal and red card for the Bombers.

 

Still angry over the loss to Arsenal, the boys treat Bolton like a rented mule -- 3-nil to the good. And not a whinging was heard, not even a mouse.

 

2-0 to Fulham

Goal for Davis (36') and Smertin (61')

not quite sold on Dempsey's ability to play in the top flight so give the start to Davies or even give Lee Cook a shout.

 

"Why should I have to change? He's the one who sucks."

Don, I see what you mean, but we should all be able to handle the spelling difference between the two. I guess if you wanted you could call them Welsh Davies and Irish Davis.

I think Fulhamburger is right that Smertin is going to find the back of the net one of these games. Dunno if it'll be Wednesday, but sooner or later.

 

Seems like most of the probable starting lineups have been posted already. So, I'll just say that I'd like to see Deuce start, Liam for Baird and Kamara for Healy. Oh, and Diop to some other team.

And Bullard back.

That's it

 

Bolton didn't play that bad on Saturday. Newcastle was just good. I'm not sure this will be an easy win. They have a lot of talent on their team. El Hadj Diouf may play as well.

 

I'm looking forward to this one considering how poor Bolton looked against Newcastle on their first game. Sure, Fulham also lost, but they didn't roll over or anything. I expect Fulham to be attacking more from the start given that they are starting at home. I think the good guys can get 3 on Wednesday.

 

i think bolton will rebound, but fulham will win it 2-1. sammy lee still hasnt won a match since becoming manager. and i hope that streak continues through wednesday.

i wont do a lineup because i really have no idea what LS will do on such a short break. i just hope pearce doesn't play.
