By the same margin as we need to tonight are..
Leeds, Brentford, Man City and ...... Hull
We are not going to be able to play the way the first three on that list play . Maybe we should have a close look at the Hull game and see what they were able to do.
Don't forget Barnsley and Stoke. Bristol City, Reading also scored twice there and won. Huddersfield and Luton also scored twice at Fulham, though both lost.
In 23 home league games, Fulham conceded twice or more on 10 occasions. We conceded twice or more on only 5 occasions.
Barnsley beat them recently didn’t they? At craven cottage? It’s certainly do able and if Harris and the squad haven’t watched the games in dvd there must be something wrong with themQuote:

It's the last throw of the dice, so we may as well gamble and give it a good go?
^^^ You lot should be pundits on SSN.
I'm beginning to think we have a bit of hope :thumbup:
Yep, looks like the list I was looking at wasn't comprensive.Quote:

Knowing Tan's reluctance to spend money, the game has probably been watched by Harris and the squad on an old knackered video player, a betamax one at that! With the tape snapping within ten minutes after kick-off :hehe::hehe:Quote:

I agree with your first paragraph. That's what we did at their place for the first quarter of the game earlier this month, but we were unable or unwilling to sustain it - it's hard for a team as old as ours is to play like that for ninety minutes.Quote:

An early goal and GAME ONQuote:
