Do we stand a chance at Fulham?

[BladesOnToast]

Fulham have won their last 8 home league games, and haven't lost there in the league since October.

Since Christmas they've beaten Wolves and Villa at home, and Derby, Boro and Cardiff away.

The bookies have got us at 4-1 to get the win.

....sounds like a nailed on Blades win - we'll do to them what Villa did to us, with Duffy playing the Snodgrass role. COME ON BLADES!

When I saw their run inin and how ludicrously packed together the fixtures were against the top teams, I was hoping they'd drop points. They're in fine form and deserve to be up there. I'd be delighted with a result against them.

It’s the championship, of cause we’ve got a chance. It will be tough and in all honesty I can’t see us getting anything. But it’s still only Fulham not Man City

 

[bladesmanluke]

Probably the hardest game we have left. Can’t see past a defeat so let’s not go chucking the toys out again if it happens. If we get something it’s a bonus.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Pigs won there

and only 1 team has put 4 past them so far this season

 

[blademark]

One in four chance sounds about right. When they beat us at the Lane it was a bit of a shock at the time, let's hope we can return the favour. Not impossible by any means if we take our A game.

 

[sheffielder]

Having watched the highlights against Derby, yes

 

[1973Blade]

A bit concerned how we will stop Ryan Sessegnon, he is in fantastic former. Surely an England call up isn't too far away.

I think Mitrovic will be a big threat personally.

 

[coolhandluke]

I can't see us getting anything . I think they've just got a little bit too much for us . We're a team that appears to ' fit ' a finish of somewhere between 10th and 5th . Fulham are top 3 material . Nothing wrong with any of that its just the natural order of things .

Please let me be proved wrong .

 

[LJBlade]

If we win on Tuesday and then win our game in hand we will be just one point behind them.

As long as that result isn`t a defeat.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I'm that confident of victory I would put £1 on a Blades win.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Fucking hell here we go again. First Brentford, now Fulham. United will not lose this match, I think you'll find the mental fortitude of Wilder and the squad is a lot greater than that of this forum.

 

[Carlton Blade]

If it's all square after 55 mins who knows? We can't afford to start either half badly. They are in great form so it'll be tough.

We'll miss Leon. He's capable of playing up front on his own and I think we'll need that extra midfielder. If we play 3 5 2 I think we have to throw caution to the wind and try to create chances - might be suicide!

 

[DronnieBlade]

Goal fest predicted.

Could go either way in 6/7 goal thriller

Watch it be 0-0 !

UTB

 

[sitwell]

3-1 win.

 

[fuerstenberger]

IMO, they are the best team in the division, on their day. They are a confidence team. At the moment they are on a peak of confidence, as a consequence, stream foward from midfield etc. Before the end of the season that confidence will be tested, either by pressure or by a defeat. Hopefully it is us that dents that confidence. Second half yesterday, Derby battered them.They will be wary of us, as we banged 4 goals in against them, had more possession than them and their shots on target, goals conversion, was exceptional on the night. So, in answer to your question, yes we can beat them. To be honest, if we pressure them, the way we can, i can see us getting a result. That's a guaranteed 8-1 twatting then.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Come on Blades, yes of course we can win at Fulham.

As a snowflake member of this forum, I can confirm that we are in big trouble if your last sentence is not true...

 

[Tommoblade66]

Looking at the table it's looking like a difficult match, but I see no reason why we can't win. They are 59 for and 33 against, we are 49 for and 40 against. They've won 3 of their last 5 as have we, they drew 2 and we lost 2. We are due a change of fortune. Teams 5 and 6 Derby and Bristol seem to be flaking, they are what we should to be aiming at.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Fulham will be one of the toughest games this season. Can we win? Of course we can win!!!!

 

[Bladesman]

No.

Only chance we have is if someone kidnaps Sessegnon the night before the match. Then Fleck does a two footed take down of Cairney at the start of the match.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

No, can't really see anything other than a defeat, but it won't be another Wolves.

But at home they've won their last 8.

Those of us who are pessimistic by nature will say they are in unstoppable home form and will beat us.

Those who are optimistic by nature will say that all winning runs come to an end and they are due a defeat. Why not against us.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Nope.

We should award Fulham a 3-0 win, save the legs for the next match.

 

[Fanny magnet]

I'm almost turning Into a Fulham fan
Great side great club quintessentially English
Cairney and sessegnon are two of the best players in the division I was amazed they aren't snapped up in January
Think they will be in the prem next season and rightly so

Even though our style is tailor made for their counter attacking I have a funny feeling we might nick a win

Probably the booze talking but who knows

What? At 11.37 on a Sunday morning? Thought I was a piss-head!

Owt can happen in this division - the pigs beat Derby at home and won at Villa and they're shite.

Fulham have gone 13 without a loss? They're due a defeat, then.

Now where did I put that bottle?

did Wigan beat Man City recently?

It's only 11 v 11

If we mark their no 8 (Johansen) and the 17 yo snowflake out of the game with some special treatment then they may just be a bit average.

UTB
