Fulham v. Wigan [R]

We'll have some yanks in the stands and Craven Cottage is nearly sold out. Now lets hope the weather continues to improve and the boys put up the effort of the season to snatch all three points.

Niemi

Liam -- Knight -- Pearce -- Queudrue

Radz -- Bouba -- Brown -- Routledge

McBride -- Helguson

Bench:
John
C. Jensen
Boca
Volz
Jan

Its going to be hard to figure out where to put Brown, Bouba and Jensen since they all play the middle.

COYWs

 

1) What do you all think about Jensen in for Diop?

2) We'll be listening for you on GJ's broadcast. I expect to hear some American accents among the chants!

 

I am very excited as I am taking my 2 youngest sons for the first time. It will cost a fortune in replica kit, but it wll force them to be Fulham fans for the rest of their lives. Well worth it.

Diop could be important if he fights for us, since they are not likely to come and play silky flowing footie. Likewise Brown's kick'em and kick'em again approach could be veru useful too.

I recon it will be a cagey kind of game which will see us unlock them in the middle of the match before scoring a couple late on 3-0 us.

Well, this only could be a good thing:

 

DCHeather, If you go to the ground and don't partake you will be missing out, although since I will have kids with me I will employ the cleaner version 'The referees mistaken!'

The same works with 'We are fulham, we are fulham, we are fulham, FFC, we are fulham, super fulham, we are fulham, FORGET chelsea'.

so is there no tv for this game? I don't see it on Setanta or Fox Soccer Channel. boo!!!!!!

 

No TV omsdogg. We really can't complain though as the next five matches are on TV.

 

However, the FUSA Matchday Chat will be in full effect, minus the Heather's extraordinary play-by-play .

I'm sure someone with FulhamTV will pick up the baton and run with it, right? :3d nervous:

My line-up:

------------------- Niemi ----------------------

-- Liam -- Knight -- Pearce -- Queudrue --

Routledge -- Jensen -- Brown -- Radzinski

---------Helguson ----- McBride-------------

Bench:
John
Diop
Boca
Volz
Jan

Final Score: Fulham 3-1 Wigan

 

That's true...looking forward to every one of them too! A win would put us in the top 6 depending on other outcomes, correct?

 

I can't wait for the game and as stated the game won't be on TV, but will be looking forward to the chat room. COYW!

 

Technically, we could move all the way to 5th, but there would have to be many goals scored by us, and many goals scored by Everton's and Portsmouth's opponents.

 

We could jump up to sixth. However, Villa would have to lose, Everton would have to lose and we would have to win 10-0 to match Everton on points and goal differential.

I would say at this point we just need to win. It would make for a great October and as I said way back when, October was the key to this season. We could finish off the month with eight points if we win. That would be great. I just hope the players go out there, give it their all and get a good result.

 

Wigan is coming off a 4-0 beatdown of That Other Manchester Team, You Know, Those Guys, so I'm a bit wary that Wigan is going to catch hot and drop crosses and shots on Fulham.

That said, if Fulham's back 4 can play as well as they did against Aston Villa and the team improves at attacking & finishing in the opponent's end, they should win.

Oh yeah, please, please, please keep Collins John away from the field unless absolutely necessary.

COYW!

P.S. I think this game is happening at 10 AM EST?

 

mmm, C.Jensen or Diop, Jensen or Diop? I would almost go with Jensen, but maybe Diop will be better. Other than that, I like AmericanMike's lineup.

Lawro has the game down as a draw, 1 all. I'm hoping he's wrong and we get 3 points. Go Superhero Niemi! Go Fulham! Go FUSAers at the match!

 

On the radio: The Fulham game is not being carried by BBC London this week, BBC Manchester are bringing it. I don't know if they will block US traffic but if you want comentary it is worth a go.

Thanks GBFC! I think BBC will likely block US IP addresses, but it is worth a go.

 

There has to be some way around that. Fog???
