To be frank this certainly won't be the team but at this point we've got nothing to lose so something a bit different might not be the worst thing. I don't see the point of Tomlin starting and being gassed from chasing down, bring him on with 25 mins to go if we're only a goal down, rather have him in for extra time. Pack despite improved performances was pointless last night sadly, we need motors who can run around and chase a lot in midfield against Fulham due to their ability to just pass it around, tomlin and pack in hindsight, two players not renown for that quality probably weren't a wise choice.
Sanderson back in is a complete gamble based of his last performance at Fulham, but again, I'd rather Bacuna with his engine in the midfield, so it's a risk i'd be willing to take given we're 2-0 down anyway.
Faaacking hell, we’re not playing these lot again :facepalm:
Another crap ref as well.
Three nil to them sadly , just hope they beat the Jacks , if they get there . A Brentford v Fulham final would be a good skilful affair and about right though
Minimum I hope Is we go in front, just to make it interesting and give them something to think about.
we'll get 2 goals in 15 minutes, like Brentford have tonight 😉
We won't make a comeback.
I think we will give it a hell of a go though, not too many changes needed I'd bring Vaulks in for one. Murphy is another one as Hoilett has lost a bit of pace.
May get picked off as we make a go of it, but I'd rather see us come out fighting.
2 nil Fulham.
We go again next season, manager has turned around results and our play style, which I didn't see coming when he came in. A pre season and a few clever signings and sales and we could be a decent team next year.
2-0 down at half time and it’s a 90 minute second half, C’mon The City!!!!!!!
Ward starts.
Team is in -

Still no Mitrovic.
Pack keeps his place, Tomlin on the bench.
Ward, Murphy and Vaulks start.
Good to see Ward starting but would have liked to have had Tomlin in behind him from the start.
Whyte on the bench in place of Flint.
Saving Mitrovic for the final no doubt. Let's hope it's overconfidence
Weird to start Ward and not Tomlin.
Ward looks good with Tomlin behind him.
Nothing to lose though, but slightly disappointing line up.
Maybe his plan is to hold them off for 60 then score, but we're the ones chasing.. Which may be the method of his madness as Fulham expected us to come out all guns blazing.. I don't ****ing know. Its a free hit. I think we've missed our chance minus tomlin but I'm not paid to manage us so I'll go with the manager.
