    Cairney will score. Tunnicliffe assist and Marshall will move to join. 2-1 Fulham. Me in positive mode :laugh:

    Love the positive vibes :laugh:

    If it's any consolation, I highly doubt that Tunnicliffe will get an assist.

    Fancy us to lineup like this:

    --------------------Button----------------------
    Kalas---Madl----Sigurdsson---Sessegnon
    --------------Parker---McDonald-----------
    ----Ayite--------Cairney---------Aluko-----
    ---------------------Smith----------------------

    Looking forward to seeing a Madl-Sigurdsson partnership.

    We should really be winning this. 0-2.

    Ayite picked up an injury against Cardiff so not sure he'll make it. Probably be Christensen or Jozabed in his place.
    Think it will be Madl and Kalas in the center with Odoi and may be Malone as fullbacks.
    Could do with the win to keep the momentum going.

    First Championship game of the season for me. Will probably be sub 10k gate again (the club advertise the attendances slightly higher to avoid embarrassment). Cairney will score. We will concede at least 2. Could will be flapping his hands on the touch line like a demented seal. All these things are inevitabilities unfortunately.

    No better reminder of how far we've fallen behind than seeing Cairney take the piss out of us for the afternoon. Can't wait! :dumbstruck

    Was so confident that Cairney would score that he was my Hotshots joker pick. I was proven correct sadly. In general, we looked pretty solid but totally ineffective in possession of the ball. The midfield in mid table league 1 standard at best. We didn't create anything, so I would have to say 0-0 would have been a fair result at the end. 1 point from 5 and the next 2 away. Not looking good.

    Cairney winner in the 94th minute, what a sickener! Don't think 0-0 would have been too harsh for either side to be fair. We lacked that little bit extra in the final third but looked a lot better at the back. Hoban got our man of the match - a good solid debut and looks like a good acquisition for us. Greer failed to clear the cross for the goal and we got punished. We need to find a bit extra again in the coming weeks if we're to get our first win on the board.

    Still Tom bagged me 6 points in hotshots so you know, swings and roundabouts :shrug

    That's just the sort of thing that seems to happen all too often for the teams that find themselves cut adrift from the rest. Honestly thought both sides were pretty mediocre at best (big improvement for us mind!).
