Fulham Away

[Vilesinner]

I"m not surprised Bennett and Bell are playing; probably need some continuity. Here's hoping the pair have a hunger to put things right from last week.

Pity Cunningham isn't on the bench though. Though nice to see Platt there.

A sign of the shambles that our defence is in with Platt making the bench. Last year he couldn't even make the bench for Stanley so had to go to Southport to play and now he is one injury away from playing in the Championship. Whilst just 2 days ago we let Mulgrew and Magloire go out on loan, crazy.

And this is why many of us voted the transfer window as bad rather than average.

How on earth did Nyambe get concussion?

Probably through banging his head against a brick wall as to why Bennett gets in before him.

All Fulham have to do is play for the misplaced passes of Bennett and Bell.

Walton could emerge a folk hero...

Cunninghams not in the 18

I’m guessing he hasn’t had much of a pre-season. I’d rather suffer Bell for a couple more games and never see him again than Cunningham do his hammy then it’s Bell till Christmas.

Plenty of pace up too for us today. If Dack shows up we might give them something to think about.

Good shout.

90 minutes watching through our fingers!

Absolutely ridiculous.

Jesus Christ. That back 4. Let’s hope Tosin turns out to be Bobby Moore

I’m counting on Fulham maintaining their poor defensive record from last season. Could be a high score match....

Reed on their bench.

Can't remember what Williams has been out with but if hammy or calf, there has to be a risk given so little pre season.  You don't really want Mitro in your face if not fully fit.  Platt might be on sooner than anticipated.

What’s even more worrying that looking at our back 4 is looking at Fulham’s attack, there wingers are exceptional, have a striker who can finish off the chances and a midfield well and truly capable of feeding them the ball.

Maybe he met Mulgrew when he was on his way out of the door and got a Glasgow kiss as a final gesture.

He retired I think...

[roversinmyblood]

Thank goodness we replaced Downing, Rodwell and Mulgrew with new CBs, oh wait a minute???????

[markhayhurst]

[Tormund]

That Fulham team is unreal at this level. 

[Norbert Rassragr]

Crap defence again. No idea why Cunningham is not on the bench at least. Cautious Tony strikes again.

[dallydally]

Tonking here we come!

Wrong Reid?

[matt83]

Struggling to think of a worse Rovers defence. That Fulham side will have a field day. Let’s hope they declare at 4 goals.

[G Somerset Rover]

Of course Lenihan gets an injury as soon as the window shuts. Tony you are an idiot.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Comical stuff. What a shambles
