Dare I say quite a good night for us last night - bit of a free hit for us tonight v Fulham where we could be slightly depleted.

Who are we going to be missing?

 

[Harry Bayles]

From the Fulham point of view, I'm quite worried about tonight. Expected to win, but coming off a really poor performance away at Stoke. All the possession means nothing if you don't get the ball forward to the creative outlets (Cairney, Knockaert, Cavaleiro), and if Luton have done their homework, they'll try to cut off the passing lanes and keep the ball with our backline.

I'm still going to go for a Fulham win, but a nervy 1-0 or 2-1.

 

[oakroader]

If we keep a hold,not literally, on mitrovic then I reckon we’ll score 1 more than them...then have a vindaloo...

 

[Jockney]

Five in four goals for Bradshaw now, six for the season. Seems mad that Harris never gave him a chance when we were so desperate for some quality up front.

 

[Depthcharge]

Will happily take that point, they're a good side and had enough chances to kill it in the first half, if they took one of them then it could have been a sorry evening.

Nugent starting was a mistake imo, he did well but he was never going to get in behind them, as soon as Maguire came on they dropped a little deeper and we actually caused them problems. Thought our back four played well but they needed to really.

Do Leeds have any fans from Leeds? they all had midlands and southern accents.

All? Done well to speak to all 5,600.

My 52 lads and me all from Leeds.

52 lads? Fair play done some serious shagging to rack up that many! Hope they weren't all from the same bird

[Kenneth E End]

Fulham 2-1 Luton
Mitrovic x2
Potts

Silly goal to concede in all honesty.

Luton have touched the ball about 7 times in that half, but they can do something in this game second half. They are getting into some good positions. They need to have a bit more belief in some of these games early doors... they again fair too tentative and not aggressive enough.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Mitrovic hat trick.

It’s insane that he’s playing at this level.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Fulham very good with the ball with some real class up front. As good as Ive seen. Not so great without it.

Mitrovic, Knockaert and Cavalleiro up front. Crikey. The former earning more than our whole squad put together. Don’t forget the £30m spent on the midfield and the defence too...

 

[Kenneth E End]

Fulham win 3-2. Great game and certainly no disgrace in that result. As I say, having Mitrovic at this level is akin to cheating.

 

[Craig]

Quick reminder that Barnsley beat Fulham quite easily.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Good job too or youd have about 2 pts

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Kind of shot oursleves in the foot there, just getting into the game and we give the ball away from a goal kick and Mitrovic isn’t going to look that gift horse in the mouth. Screwed our plan of looking to keep it tight. Might not have worked for too much longer with the quality they have but took what was pretty much our only chance of getting something away without them having to really work for it. We were very sloppy on the ball I felt, Tunnicliffe easily he his worst game since joining, and despite it ending just a goal difference they were just so much better than us.

3-2 was very flattering to us I felt.

 

[Luke_1884]

Just robbed Wigan but it was a bit of a screamer.

Should have been a draw though, two bottom half teams trying to out bore each other.

 

[Gerry Gow]

Josh Brownhill you big eared shagger.

98th minute winner with 10 men.

5 points, actually surprised when I check that we have actually played 6 games this season that we didn’t lose.

That’s a first I’ve seen from you boys tonight. Time wasting against 10 men!

 

[Ciderup]

Got to love a last minute winner, especially when down to 10 men.
Why on earth Charlton didn't have a right go after the red card, I don't know but they looked knackered.
Get in there JB, poleaxed one minute, utter mayhem the next!
Get in!!

 

[Bobbin']

You lucked a win against a side worth less than a million missing their main striker and midfielder and had to make two subs before half time due to injuries , slow down.

Our side wasn’t exactly full strength with key players still out. Think we just edged it second half though. The subs made the difference until Diedhiou kicked your bloke twice on the deck, the clown.

 

[Harry Bayles]

Good to get back to winning ways last night. As the Luton fans on here have said, we were the better side throughout, but it's still a little worrying to have let in 2 soft goals the way we did - a set-piece and a cross late on. You'd like to have kept a clean sheet in a win like this to build the confidence, especially for our keeper who was making his league debut.

On to Boro away at the weekend.

You definitely edged it. We did not deserve to lose like that though. I’m fairly calm about it, 9 times out 10 that’s going to be a great point away from home.

Although on reflection, we had a few chances to put the game to bed ourselves.

 

[M Dogg]

We are so reliant on Samba Sow in the middle it’s a joke. We’ve lost 3 matches... he hasn’t started any of those matches. Hope his hammy recovers quickly as we are just so soft in the middle without him.

 

[SF_]

It will have been a shite return from the international break if we don't beat Blackburn on Saturday, 3pts and it would be ok, fine margins in this league.

Supposedly they haven't even shifted 3k for this one, last update they hadn't even sold 2k.

Maguire back in the eleven last night after a bit of a rest on Tuesday, I wouldn't be starting Nugent personally but with Bodin & Harrop missing we might have no choice, unless he wants to give Andre Green his first league start.

Play Gallagher because he usually takes the piss out of this lot.

Rudd
Fisher, Bauer, Davies, Rafferty
Pearson, Gallagher
Barkhuizen, Johnson, Maguire
Nugent
