Fulham Preview

[Eddie]

If Reading and Newcastle could do us some favours and we pick up the 3 points then the league table could look very nice in a couple of hours time.

Well 6th for intertoto. Basically we're going to have to beat City, Portsmouth and Villa in our mini-league now. Our defeats against Portsmouth and Villa are really going to matter come the end of the season.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I think if we are going to make 5th or 6th we are going to have to win most of our remaining games, and try to look to get a draw from the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool. And at the same time hope our winning momentum might put some pressure on the likes of Everton and Villa.

Its going to be very tough.

[RibbleValleyRover]

So how have we started? Can't find a radio link anywhere to the game.

[McClarky]

Sounds pretty dull so far.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Looks like we are pasing well, not getting that killer ball through though.

[Dr Gonzo]

Where are you watching it?

I wish we could just keep it simple. To many fancy layoffs and flicks in the centre of the park...and they just aren't coming off. Peds had a couple of chances ot cross the ball in the early going and they were poor, now it doesn't seem like we're going down the wings at all...oh wait, we just did..poor cross by Gamst.

[RibbleValleyRover]

They don't look like scoring, but at the same time neither do we...

Just given a freekick in a dangerous position, Bullard lining it up.

[Pinch]

Thank goodness Bullard hit the wall there, that would've been a bad first half...well, it was a bad first half.

[DudeAbides]

We tend to start playin in the second half anyway....

[Rover Down Under]

Some lovely play at times in the middle of the park. Again the final killer ball is missing. We need to score early in 2nd half and bury them or they might just nick this one.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I agree with Pinch, we are being too flash, sometimes we just need a simple ball being placed rather than a neat flick which doesn't always pay off.

[Pinch]

Roberts on Tugay off.

[DudeAbides]

YESSSS!!!!

[DudeAbides]

Gamst!!!!!!

[BiggusLaddus]

Goal! - Is Pedersen back? Still not playing well, but now scoring.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Gamst!

Roberts with the assist, he's certainly been effective in recent games.

[tony gale's mic]

haha yes!!
