Fulham Fumblers vs. Newcastle Nest Invaders

[LongTimeAdmirer 1205]

Cant attend the game vs the wolfie doodles but since theirs absolutely no chance of a loss

 

 

 

 

 

might as well have this thread ready to go. 

 

SMASHING these 5-0

 

 

 

 

[Monkeys Fist 41318]

Saturday the 21st 3pm KO for those of us in the same hemisphere as the actual team. 
 

I’ll leave this open for 5 minutes to allow “Monique” to … whatever. 
 

Then it’s locked and hidden until after the Wolves  game. 
 

 

[Monkeys Fist 41318]

Crack on boys 

[wykikitoon 19299]

Bench Longstaff, Murphy & Tino to be benched.

[Monkeys Fist 41318]

In something of a break from tradition, I’m going for 5-0
 

 

Hibbitt, MacDonald and Cassidy with 2 each. 
 

 

[Dazzler 8460]

Let be honest it’s going to be a turgid draw or we win 2-1 and it’ll be shite.

 

[Gemmill 42611]

Top of the league on Saturday night if we win this one.

Trippier needs to start. I’d even be tempted to play Almiron (they link up well and keep possession).

 

Hall is struggling this season and I can see why Howe was reluctant to play him for a lot of the last season. 
 

We perhaps should go back to a LCB (Kelly) coming in at LB so he can tuck in and then push Trips high. 
 

Sandro in for Longstaff.

I haven’t seen it mentioned but it looks like Eddie wants to play with inverted full backs. It had been noticeable how often Hall and Tino can be found in midfield. I’m not convinced it’s working but you can understand that if that’s the plan then those two are our only real options.

[Holden McGroin 6229]

Surely Trippier would be better as an inverter fullback anyway. Tino lacks his composure on the ball. He is more effective galloping up the wing.

 

Hall is slow and weak at the moment. I’m sure he’ll develop as a full back but he is not impressing at the moment.

Yeah we haven’t often played with two dedicated fullbacks since 2022. Interesting today that as soon as Fab was available after suspension Eddie went straight back to it. The same people shouting for Tripps to be back in were complaining about us being found out last season for our reliance on the KT/Miggy right side attack thing. Now they’re calling for KT to play 😭 Maybe if Sandro plays regularly in midfield instead of JL or Longy it might gel into something really good attacking wise and rigid defensively…

Back at home so I’m a lot more confident, even if these have bought well and are a decent attacking side

Trippier is still the superior full back.  There is obviously something going on behind the scenes with him so Eddie has gone for Tino as first choice but I’m not sure it’s for footballing reasons. 
 

Tino and Murphy struggle to combine. Trippier clearly helped Murphy by dictating his position. Murphy has dropped to Bruce level performances at the moment.

It’s at Craven Cottage.

So it is. Never mind. Of course our only home game in the next few weeks is Man City

0-11 - all by Stan Seymour

[Dr Gloom 21288]

these weird as fuck thread titles are going to fire us to an unbeaten season.  @LongTimeAdmirer, we salute you. 

 

i'm going for another unconvincing win, but another marginally improved performance. 2-1 to us 

[Tdansmith 2990]

2-0 NUFC

Power to the Mags and not these cockney wamkers !

 

[Dazzler 8460]

Are the fans organising a terrible boat ride for this one like normal?

[Toonpack 8688]

We continue our hit and miss away from home form, but unlike last season we win again, 1-3.

 

Wyn Davies brace and a 95th minute, length of the pitch, breakaway goal from Alf Tupper (on loan).

Furthermore, if we win on Saturday, we'll still be AT WORST second on Sunday night. 

[David Kelly 1205]

Going to this one so I'm hoping for the same as last time I went.  Ant & Dec conducting the singing out the back of the stand.  Oh and a 4-1 away win.

Kelly (mainly for his pace against Traore here)

Schar

Tonali
