Hmmm – this doesn’t stand out as a potential classic (which goes some way to explaining why the tickets have been reduced to £10), but it will hopefully provide another 3 points for us. Fulham’s away form is awful (so get on them at the bookies to take 3 points tomorrow…) and we have to put in a decent display following the awful performance at Stoke. Megson criticised his team then, though openly admitted that the lack of depth in his squad severely limits his potential to shake things up.
So expect minimal changes from us (if any at all) – the only one I can potentially see is Gardner starting, though it remains to be seen if Megson agrees. Fulham, despite that away record, are a tidy team and have the players who can cause some damage (Johnson, Dempsey, Murphy, Davies etc.) so this isn’t cut and dried, though I’m hoping and praying that we’ll be another 3 points closer to safety come Saturday evening.
Head says 1-0 Bolton. Heart says 2-1 Bolton. Elmander and Davies (Mark) for us with Jimmy Bullard for Fulham (hohoho – just my little joke there! It will hopefully be John Paintsil, to bolster my fantasy team score…)
