Fulham vs. Blackburn [R] -- T_o_Ms Last Match at The Cottage

Volz is supposed to be back in a week. I think he'll play in a reserve game before he makes it back to the first team, but he might be available. I'm happy with Baird or Omozusi at RB, but Volz could be useful in central midfield.

 

You know, I think you're right that Boca is due to knock one home from a corner.

 

does anyone know where smertin's been lately? he hasnt played since the pompey embarrassment.

give davis and kamz the day off. they've been really poor lately. and i have a feeling stef will probably start over hughes.


Niemi
Baird--Stef--Boca--Konch
Davies--Murphy--Smertin--Bouazza
Demp--Healy

Bench:
Warner
Seol
Davis
Kuqi
Hughes

2-1 fulham!!!!!

 

2-1 in favor of the Whites.

 

Where will the Fulham USA crowd be before the match tomorrow? It's been a long time since I"ve posted on here, but I'm in London this weekend and will be at the game tomorrow (and would like to grab a pint with the Americans who are in town for the game).

 

Hi Mike, we'll be in the Golden Lion starting from around 1:00-1:30

 

Sounds good. Was hoping that the Bricklayers was going to be the venue of choice, but I'll swing by the Lion tomorrow. I've been to the Cottage half a dozen times, but never hit the Lion and am looking forward to it.

 

2-1 Blackburn -- AND FEEL FREE TO PROVE ME WRONG!!

Good luck to the W's tomorrow. And Cheers to all at the pub tand the Cottage tomorrow.

 

I believe we'll put on a good show tomorrow and pull out a win (2-1). I think it's time for Healy to start scoring again in the EPL. Throw Kuqi up front to knock it down for him.

Niemi
Baird - Hughes - Steph - Konch
Davies - Smertin - Dempsey - Booze
Healy - Kuqi

 

Time to tame some wild Rover.

Fulham 3 - 1 Friedel's Boys

 

If memory serves Superhero saved our bacon and earned the team a point nearly by himself the last time the Rovers came to the Cottage. It won't be pretty at times, but the lads are gonna find a way today to get those 3 points (2-1).

 

honestly...dammit.

yes it was a good match. and no i'm not suprised we lost it in the waning moments (although pretty frustrated). but this result means WE HAVE to get points in our next two matches, which is a really tall order. settling with one point over four games will drop us back into the throngs of the relegation fight. fulham cant wait until mid-december before they start winning again. no, it wont be easy. but it HAS to happen.

otherwise, nice to see kamz and murphy score. niemi needs to stop shots on his near post. i think we need to start subbing new CB's late in the second half. (thats one idea to end this neverending problem)

and where the hell is smertin?

 

Just back from the match, have to say that Niemi played an awesome match (good call SoCalJoe) and I'm happy with a point, although we were so close to a win! Ugh.

A very good turnout at the Cottage and got to meet some more of our fellow yanks, albeit briefly.

COYW's

 

I'm disappointed for the result but glad for the performance of the lads in white. Blackburn are a very solid team, one of the few that didn't lose with Arsenal in the current season, plus their first goal should be disallowed being Roberts in clear off side when Warnock crossed. I love English because nobody protested: in Italy the ref would have been closed in the changing room.
Another thing that I've appreciated is the attacking-minded attitude of Sanchez that, after the Rovers'draw, substituted Bouazza with Kufi with the idea of playing Dempsey left winger and Kufi and Kamara strikers. And soon we have scored a beautiful goal in five-a-side football style, after a fine passing involving four Fulham players.

 

Hi all
Just got back from the match myself,Niemi was fantastic(don't know how much we are paying him but it's not enough!)
was a "good old fashioned" football match-bit of blood and thunder end to end stuff.Murphy's penilty was well taken, Big Kam's goal was a cracker-thought the roof was coming off the hammey end at one point!
We could have won it,but Rovers are a good team and I honestly think it's 1point gained rather than 3 points lost.

And just a quick point-I spent about 15 minutes today directing Yanks to the ground,did you hire a Jumbo jet and come over mob handed or somthing????
all joking apart there seemed that there was loads of you there-more the better i say, welcome home boy's(and girls)
