old_eastender Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Guess a draw would be our favoured result today, meaning both clubs stay in range. If there has to be a winner would rather it be Fulham, as see Blackburn as far more likely for us to finish ahead of. They have not won in 9 and of course are now without Rhodes too. Also if Fulham pulled away a bit they might be more likely to let Matt Smith go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think you`re right, if one of them has to win, I`d rather it was Fulham. We`ve still got to go to both and I fancy we`re more likely to get something at Fulham rather than Blackburn. We`d have far more fans there for one thing. If Blackburn win tonight and then beat us that means we`d have to pull 7 points on them somewhere to finish above them. If Fulham win and we got a draw there it would only be 4. Don`t know if any of that makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we can overtake Blackburn - hopefully quite soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 This game is a case of the irresistable force (Fulham's attack, 47 goals) up against a difficult to budge object (Blackburn's defence, 27 conceded). And kind of the opposite down the other end. Since beating us, Blackburn have scored 4 goals in 10 league games. Can they get past Fulham's porous "defence" which has let in more than ours?

The QPR result is not typical of them this season; collapsing to a fellow bottom half team is. Lots of football to go still, but think Fulham have problems. And any team with the firepower they have being on a minus goal difference should tell you where those problems lie. That said; looks a home banker to Charlton next game for them.

After a season like this year they will have a real job on their hands to keep hold of that strike pairing, coupled with a defence worse than ours and it looks grim for them.
