Our major problem is that firstly we have hardly any players who are good enough at this level, and when you combine that with the fact we appear to have no fight in the side either. It's all pretty hopeless in terms of us saving ourselves now.

I don't think a point is beyond us at home to Hull.

Those thinking Fulham can't win their next two games should look at how Sunderland did against Man City and Chelsea. They're playing two mid-table sides with very little to play for, we are definitely not safe yet.
Of course they can but they won't. Honestly we could sit here and worry about all sorts of scenarios against us but there is a reason why Fulham are where they are and they have conceded  about a million goals. The sad thing is that this is where we were last season with Wigan and Mr Lambert has done it again.

If Fulham beat Stoke in their next game and we don't beat Hull I wouldn't be at all confident going into the remaining games. Stranger things have happened certainly.

Especially when you consider Stoke are probably on the beach already. Who else are Fulham playing?

Crystal Palace.

Who despite Pulis's heroic efforts are a team with a lot less quality than fulham.

And Crystal Palace are also safe with nothing to play for.

Darren Bent scoring the goals to keep them up and send us down would really top the whole season off.

Yep and it would perfectly illustrate the folly of our approach to the 'bomb squad'.

Agree, what a twat Lambert is loaning our striker to a relegation rival all to save a few bob on the wage bill....well, Mr Lerner it'll cost you millions if we get relegated - great logic and economics!

Even if people considered us relegation candidates at the start of the season, which they didn't, people didn't think Fulham were after the amount of money they'd spent. So it wasn't a case of loaning Bent to a relegation rival, even if it comes back to bite us.

All of this Fulham 1 in 6 , 7 in 12, have we forgot 1 in 18 that is us, a win on Saturday is vital, because how I see the others are

Sunderland what is required very possible
Fulham maybe
Norwich no way
Cardiff no way
and I do worry about our next goal never mind point and we have less chance of keeping a clean sheet than a hotel for old age pensioners.

You can see it written in the football gods though, Bent scores in the 90th minute at Stoke to give Fulham a 1-0 win, just as Curtis Davies heads home to condemn us to a defeat. Just written.

I was really highlighting the crap decision making generally at the club, particularly from the management.

Not to worry, Stoke will go straight down the other end and equalise through Stephen Ireland.

No doubt. Was just pointing out there are enough real-time shit decisions without needing to add more through hindsight.

He's starting to get a bit of game time there now too, so it seems almost inevitable he will score for them. What's really odd is that Mitroglu hasn't played for them apart from a couple of appearances. I saw one of those games and he looked by far their most dangerous player.

Irrespective of the outcome at the weekend the fans should let their feelings be known to the board, manager and players. It doesn't need to personal, it can be civil. But it needs to be a show of unity from loyal supporters who have parted with their hard earned cash throughout the last number of very poor seasons.
