Yeah I'd go with this, bring on Marshall to rough them up for the final 20 or so.

 

[Lycan]

Iwobi guaranteed to score again.

I'd be happy with a point here, Fulham are a quality side and 4 points off them in a season would be a good return.

They are decent but I think man for man there's not a lot between the teams. Now we have an actual coach in charge I think it will be very close

 

[Lupo]

Raul's first appearance at Molineux since leaving I think?

Would have loved to go to this but just can't get there in time.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

My only worry is that while santi has the tools to cope with raul on the deck, can he handle him in the air.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Raul's first appearance at Molineux since leaving I think?

Yeah, he was injured for the win last season (little did we know at the time that we would completely collapse after that and barely win for 9 and a bit months)

He did produce a stunning miss at Craven Cottage earlier this season. Four yards out, basically an open goal, hit the bar. Think it was still 0-0 at the time too.

 

[Jinky]

Funny side, Fulham. Sometimes look like world beaters but then sometimes look absolutely woeful (like this last weekend against Palace).

I’d take a point now, tbf.

 

[Mel Evo]

Absolutely the kind of game where I wouldn’t take a point now. In the spirit of the statement, which I think is ‘do the deal now or have a chance of winning or losing’. It’s Fulham at home for the love of god!! Give up on a chance of a home win when it’s Fulham and give up on life.

I’ll accept there is a strong pragmatic logic for taking the point, and I also seem to have predicted just that…

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They haven't won here for almost 40 years, 4-0 in April 1985 (unless you count a penalty win in the FA Cup, and I don't. That shootout did feature the worst penalty I've ever seen from a Wolves player. Take a wild guess which fucking moron with a chinstrap it was)

1988/89: W 5-2
1995/96: W 2-0 (LC)
1997/98: W 1-0 (LC)
1999/00: W 3-0
2000/01: D 0-0
2003/04: W 2-1
2009/10: W 2-1
2010/11: D 1-1
2011/12: W 2-0
2014/15: W 3-0, D 3-3 (FAC, lost on pens)
2015/16: W 3-2
2016/17: D 4-4
2017/18: W 2-0
2018/19: W 1-0
2020/21: W 1-0
2022/23: D 0-0
2023/24: W 2-1

The day we learnt of the passing of SJH IIRC?

 

[The Bear]

Fulham are an unpredictable side. We should absolutely be going all out for back to back wins.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nope, that was the 3-2 win in Jan 2016

Sir Jack passed in Jan 2015 surely?

Ignore me, I'm thinking of David Bowie

Easy mistake to make.

Both made the Black Country Rock tbh.

 

[Keef]

And tbh the worlds been shit since Bowie and Prince died

I'm a day late but it was the 2-0 win over Blackpool iirc. Edwards scored and so did Afobe on his debut.
