Roy's View From... Pre-match View From Fulham

Pre-Match View From Fulham — The View From

"Sunday is a big one against Sheffield United. Like us, they’re yet to get off the mark, so they’ll be looking at it as a must-win game. But we just need to go there and play our game, be up for the battle. They’re a very organised, workmanlike side who had a great season last

1st!

 

[Scarebus]

Oh yeah, game this weekend.

 

[Inter_blade83]

They're strangely confident of their season.

Wish we were.

 

[snb69]

Amazed that Watford are in the mix for relegation this season, think they've a good chance of bouncing back...

 

[JPBrods]

You mean to tell me there's CLUB FOOTBALL this weekend?

 

[Gimli]

Maybe we should actually try to sign Eddie McGoldrick just for the confusion factor

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Weirdly optimistic bunch. They've been hammered most games.
In fairness, they've had a tough start facing a resurgent Everton & Arsenal & have also played a consistently good Wolves side.
They have also made some good signings; Kongolo (if they can get him fit), A Robinson & Loftus-Cheek would all have been decent acquisitions for us.

They talk a lot about teams that will be scrapping & that they have potential to finish above...
Personally, I don't see Brighton struggling much this season. I certainly don't see Leeds or Southampton being anywhere near it.

West Ham could struggle, although I feel with Benrahma, Bowen & Antonio at the top of the pitch they'll have just enough to pull away from it.
Crystal Palace similarly, I see flirting with it at times - but eventually pulling away. They have a lot of Prem experience & Hodgson seems to be able to grind out results when he has to.


I see relegation being fought out by Newcastle (surely their luck has to run out), Burnley, WBA, Fulham & ourselves this season.

I think the January window will be vitally important to our chances as I don't think we have the squad (midfield in particular) to get ourselves out of the mess right now.
When you're going into games with Osborn & Lundstram acting as 2 of your 3 man midfield you're going to struggle to control games & create chances.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

But they do make the point that there's a long way to go yet, and it's not only us that are struggling just now.....

Remember when we signed Clayton Blackmore a few years ago?

 

[Whiston Blade]

“Sheff United don’t scare me…but we have problems scoring.”

“Only team that’s scored less than us after 4 games has been Sheffield United.”

0-0 nailed on... C'mon Blades, let's get 3 points!

 

[Harry's Game]

“Eddie Mcgoldrick“

.

TBF he’s more likely to be fit for the game on Sunday than David is.

 

[BLADES1988]

Watford.

 

[knowsnowt]

I just can't get excited any more.
Is there a viagra for footy?

Don’t wear ya Bastard Columbia shirt ,
the luck has worn off my Boston hat as well

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Cheers Roy!Fair comments from a team that let's be honest,will be down there come the end of the season.
I predict a win for us and for it to give us the boost we need.

 

[originaltrueblade]

I stopped wearing after our post lockdown start. Tried it again for Villa but it's lost its magic

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

Ooooh Eddieeeeeeeeeeeeeee McGoaldrickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I think we'll draw the game. I'm not convinced of our ability to go out on the front foot and take the game to them.

If we concede possession to Fulham at home then I think it will be a long season.

Ha. I didn't notice that

Gonna be a long season anyway. No fans has affected us badly.

That and the fact that it doesn't finish until May. That's a long time

I get it with the no fans argument, but it's the same for a lot of teams. Burnley, Palace, Newcastle and Villa are all well supported teams with a good atmosphere at home. We need to get over it, get smarter with the refs and start playing with a lack of fear again.

It started later so can finish in May

We definitely need to start cheating. MOTD after the Arsenal game - "If Burke goes down, that's a red card!"... He shouldn't have to do that.

 

[Roygbiv]

Thanks Roy.

Ooooh Eddieeeeeeeeeeeeeee McGoaldrickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Arsenal fans used to sing "oh come on, Eddie Mcgoldrick, oh come on Eddie Mcgoldrick" to the tune of the outro of Come On Eileen. Always wanted us to nick it for Didz

That's a bit 90's mate, everything has to be to the tune of 'Seven Nation Army' now, you should know that.

Altogether now................ Ohhhhhhhhh Rhiaaaannn Breeeeewster

 

[8lade]

So from that 'View from' whoever loses is relegated but whoever wins will go on to be mid table and yet I sort of agree.
Time to do my 'lucky chores' only other appearance against Spurs.

Cheers Panchero!

Fulham have some decent players but I'm not sure the manager knows what he is doing. I just can't see them getting anywhere near mid table whatever happens on Sunday.
