The Fulham v Bristol City Match Day Thread 15

Another excellent 3 points on the road. Now it’s time to end the Cardiff jinx that’s plagued us in recent seasons. -
The Fulham v Bristol City Match Day Thread 15

I haven't been to Craven Cottage for ages - late 1990s on a freezing cold day when the away end was that big open terrace. We lost 1-0 that day I think. We've got a good record there in recent seasons but it'll be another tough one today - aren't they all? My prediction is a draw, which would be a good point before we hopefully smash Cardiff at the weekend. -
God, that was frustrating. Boring boring Burton got exactly what they came for...and we weren't good enough in the final third to break them down (although we seemed unlucky with the disallowed goal). It was just one of those games and we looked less likely to score as time went on. The attendance was good considering the tiny away following and the crowd were supportive of the team throughout.

Glad to get another three points. We were quite laboured in our play at times, especially until the first goal. It seems like we struggle when teams come to AG to sit back and pack the defence. I thought O'Dowda was lively and was the pick of our attacking players. Eliasson looked tricky when he came on. Bolton looked very poor and dead certs for relegation. Fair play to their fans who made the trip (true supporters) but apart from Burton it's the smallest travelling support for a league match I've seen in quite a while. They very much seem to be a club in decline.

Bolton have struggled big time this season so it really is a game we should win....but it would be dangerous to assume we'll get three points just by turning up. They will be desperate for some points and will try to be hard to beat. I envisage a tight, scrappy game like Millwall last month or Burton at home last season (although at least if we get a penalty Tomlin won't be taking it).

Another fascinating post havanatopia - I always look forward to reading the matchday thread. Yet another tough game today, which is one of the great things about being in the Championship. It would be good to get a win today to eat into our poor record against Derby but I reckon a draw is more likely. I still have vivid memories of the 4-3 win at their place in a televised game about 25 years ago. We were getting battered until their keeper was sent off and their influential midfielder had to go in goal, which changed the game. Highlights are on YouTube I think.

Another good read, so thanks as ever for kicking off the match day thread havanatopia. I'd echo the point about our kit and plea to the powers that be to ditch those red shorts and return to our traditional red/white/red. As for today's game, hopefully we'll see a good performance and a win so the extra fans will want to come back regularly. COYR

Excellent second half. Credit to LJ and the team for turning it around. At about 2pm there were 5-6 Barnsley fans walking down North St chanting obnoxiously and unnecessarily about Bristol being a s***hole (oh the irony), trying to intimidate families going about their business. Big men. Glad their journey home will feel longer after a defeat.
