In the second half of the season (i.e. after 23 games) I think that nobody has got as many points as Fulham
They've taken 40 so far, next nearest have 32 I think.
I still think we will do it, but they have to be one of the best teams to miss out on automatic if they do.
Watch out for that Mitrovic they got on loan from Newcastle. Good player.
Since December, I think it's fair to say they have been a class apart destroying both Villa and Wolves on their current unbeaten run. You can also win games in many ways, but the way the play is very pleasing on the eye without doubt they are the best footballing side to visit the CCS the last 2 seasons.
They drew at home to QPR recently after being 2-0 up !!. They are not a class apart - they are 8 points behind us and 13 behind Wolves. Promotion isnt won after December, its over the whole season and they were utter crap for the first two months at least. If they are that good perhaps we should just roll over and let them overtake us in deference to their supreme ability.
Have I stumbled across the Fulham fans forum by mistake ?.
Much easier? They go away to resurgent Sheffield Wednesday (3 game winning run atm) and Birmingham as well as Millwall who are in incredible form and they host Brentford who can beat anybody
Our next two games are tough but after that there's not much difference in standard of opposition
We've really only been crap for 9 days over XMAS so far this season. Remarkably consistent for the other 211. We're where we are on merit and have just been better overall than other teams whose form has been more patchy. Just need a final push to get over the line now to be deservedly promoted.
Out of the seven teams we have left to play, we have already beaten six of them and drawn with the other. Out of the seven teams Fulham have to play, they already drew with two and lost to two. Hardly looks the 'much easier' option to me. We should be fully confident in our ability to win our games and they will have doubts.
There's are easier, but much easier is a stretch
Very much doubt Derby will be in 5th by the time we play them
The average current position of our opposition is 11th, there's is 14th. Not a huge difference and ours is massively skewed by our next two games, take them away and ours is 14th too
No, but this was a thread about Fulham which is why I for one have restricted my replies to the merits of their side only. And I retain my viewpoint that if they hadn't suffered a playoff hangover they would've been champions. Wolves and ourselves have maximised their poor start to the maximum thus far.
We are averaging over two points a game which is automatic promotion form over the whole season and has absolutely nothing to do with what Fulham are doing. You are making excuses for Fulhams poor form in the early part of the season but basically they were just not good enough for that period of time. The season lasts 46 games, not 23. They have been playing catch up due to their own inadequacies and will most likely fall short - their fault and no one elses. I could say that City would already be up, if we had won the four games we lost in December but what would be the point of that - we lost, end of.
