2-1, Kodja and Gardner. My prediction for Fulham was spot on...Quote from: Chipsticks on October 20, 2016, 08:05:55 PMI think we'll win 1-0 in an uncomfortable affair.Kodjia will put us in the lead at some point in the second half, followed by us absolutely riding our luck defensively and somehow coming away unscathed (similar to the Wolves second half).

I remember being ambushed by a load of bat weilding thugs flying out of a pub wearing balaclavas. As mentioned, it just gives them a chance to mob up on the sitting ducks, rather than just being able to mingle and make your way home peacefully, like the vast majority in attendance (on both sides) want to do.

I'm off for a lovely walk over Wenlock Edge while this drama is playing out as I hate it when I am not at a match. Will return to the car, check the score and then have a cup of tea in the village - followed by a skinful if we win ;-)
