Well they have certainly got you lot rattled.
Why not just ignore them?

We tend to stand off teams too much for my liking. The teams who have done well against them, including the great unwashed down the road, have got in their faces and disrupted their style. Under pressure they don’t look too clever. Their weakness is their defense.

It’s a good point. Sitting deep like we did against Boro would be suicide, not just because they are more likely to create clear cut chances and convert them, but if they play the game in our half it allows them to take all the pressure off their weakest area.

Fulham aren't that great - only two players with Wembley experience. We have so many big game players with exactly that experience. I see a 2-0 win at least. Fulham got beat 3-1 at SHA ffs!

Think that's my main concern, we've got good midfielders for this level but not really pressing ones. I'd say Bjarni is probably the player in the squad who could do it the best so I'd consider starting him.

If we can't get in the faces of the Fulham trio they will play the ball around us and dominate so giving Sessegnon plenty of chances to run with the ball at our defence.

Hourihane did this brilliantly against Boro last week.

If Steve Bruce can produce  a  game  plan like he did against  Middlesborough  I'll be happy.

I understand why people are suggesting bringing Bjarnason in for this game but, as I see it, there is absolutely no way that he’s not going to start with Jedinak for a game of this pressure and importance. Not a chance.

Yes he played well. Just worry a little Boro are very much a pedestrian team so much easier to press them than a Fulham.

We really struggled for an hour to deal with PNE's mobility in midfield for anyone who remembers the game at VP.

It’s pretty much always the same game plan, it’s just a matter of how well we play.

Was thinking more of Jedinak-Bjarni as the combo behind Jack.

Harsh on Hourihane who played well against Boro, think he might struggle more against Fulham though.

Don't forget we got a secret weapon in future King William and President of FA. He can instruct the referee to be locked in Tower if we don't get promotion ;)
