My first game in ages. They'll dominate possession, batter our goal, have 25 attempts, 15 on target, but it'll end 0-1 - Moore on the break.

My first away in a very long time, but I don't share your optimism.
Re: FULHAM v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
The team sheet announcement at 6.45pm will be very interesting. I think we will get an ‘inkling’ then as to whether our chances will be slim or non existant.

I don't think I've ever found a team selection so fascinating. He could be a stubborn pr!ck and stick with 5 at the back. Or he could go the other way and fill the team with youngsters in an attacking formation hoping to prove a point that his way was the best. Ideally it'll be more like the team and formation we had against Reading

We should be able to deal with Mitro. It’s anyone that has the slightest bit of pace that will undo us

The Mule, will stick to 5 across the back

Match facts
- Fulham and Cardiff City last met in the 2019-20 Championship play-offs, with the Cottagers winning 3-2 on aggregate, though they did lose 2-1 at Craven Cottage in the second leg.
- Excluding play-offs, Cardiff have won none of their last six away league games against Fulham (D3 L3) since a 2-1 win in the Premier League in 2013-14.
- Fulham have already won twice in the Championship this season on a Wednesday, beating Birmingham away and Swansea at home. They last won three on the bounce on this day back in September 2017.
- Excluding play-off games, Cardiff City have won just two of their last 33 league visits to London (D13 L18), wins at Brentford in March 2015 and March 2018.

I can just visualise the pained expressions on the faces of our defenders (take your pick), they'll be like rabbits caught in the headlights of a car as Mitrovic moves past them with the ball. :yikes:

I remember watching us against Coventry, commentary we're saying we were playing a higher defensive line as they had no pace to threaten us, it didn't take more than a straight and basic pass to open us up and the slow fella had a field day. Mitrovic, if he feels like it, can embarrass us tonight.

I think he'll throw in some youngsters but not change the system/shape, we'll get battered and he'll just shrug his shoulders and go on about how they're not ready etc
