A comfortable and professional 2-0 with Cardiff losing at Brentford and Wolves world domination back on track after beating, ahem, Reading.

You still bashing on about the crowds?

Oh dear.....but we know what you meant to do here. Only 29000 sold a disgrace.

I would have accepted a draw against Blues for a win v Fulham. So we need to make sure after the great win on Saturday we don't mess this one up. We need to have a plan from the bench if things are going awry on the pitch.

They have some youngsters with a bit of pace from the highlights I have seen lately. I would rest Hourihane and start Angela and Thor, resting Jedinak. Grabban looks like he's got goals in him all the time, really impressed with him. We need to get a forward option on the bench too.

The only change I would consider would be Jedinak for Bjarnason, as the former may not be able to manage the Saturday - Tuesday - Saturday schedule.  As for the bit in bold, Hogan and Davis were on the bench on Saturday.   

Agree entirely. If we don't need to change anything, then don't. Let's make sure we get the job done. Would anyone disagree that our best available starting XI is the one that started Saturday?

The only real question for me would be whether Hutton would play at left-back ahead of Taylor.

Yes, definitely.  And as good as Jedi is, I think some games Barny may be a better choice.

Same here.  In a way, every game feels like a six pointer.  Lose, and we face being 7 points off 2nd which would be a huge gap to make up at this point of the season.  Win, and it's possible we're a point off.  I think it will be a nervy 1-0 tonight, to us.

every game's now a cup final and has been for a few weeks. Immense pressure on the top four collectively.

Derby have shown, if you have a bad couple of weeks you are done.

Despite Fulham's form and good players, if they have a slight blip second place is gone.

A win - I'd like 2 goals scored by us first (obviously not for a 3 goal comeback) but I'll take anything. Early goal again the key.

I'm shitting myself about tonight, for some reason.

Feels like the kind of game where we coast into it assuming we'll win, create next to nothing and end up getting beaten 1-0 after a goalkeeping howler or something.
