Fulham Away

[JacknOry]

Pace is definitely needed. No excuse for Rothwell not to start. Armstrong should be other flank too, he has not been on his game so far but just having pace scares the bejeezuz out of teams.

Struggling to choose between BB and DG for this too. I previously said BB deserved a start against Charlton and still do but I think away from home we need someone the ball will stick to more. Think I would go with DG to start and hopefully those around him can pick up the pieces when balls are launched at him when we are under the cosh.

3-1 Fulham with us lucky not to concede more. 

[Displaced Rover]

Before lack of defensive signings (and the Charlton debacle) I was really looking forward to this - closest game of the season for me, 10 minute walk to Craven Cottage. As it is now, I struggle to see anything other than 3/4-0 pasting. 

If Mowbray makes the same pig headed team selection as last weekend I expect a somewhat frosty reception from the travelling support...

What about Chapman?

I still think against a possession team like Fulham, who will dominate, we need to set up to counter

                Walton
JRC Lenihan Tosin Downing
               Johnson
             Travis Dack
Rothwell Gallagher Armstrong

If coming by train - the Circle & District lines have closures this weekend which will affect your route down to Fulham

I would suggest-             Euston on Victoria line to Victoria.

                                       Victoria on district line to Earls court.

                                       Earls court on district line to Putney bridge.

                                       Putney bridge on foot to Eight bells (on the lash)

Well imthwy have better squad yes... Its gonna be hard yes but no.. i think that if we have a good match we can return home with 1 point the most dificult rivals suffer against Rovers very often i belive on my team!!!

To be fair, playing with Bell at the back is just like playing with 3 at the back anyway. Only with 4 on the field...

Yes indeed pal awful development

A negative reaction from the loyal, travelling support in only the second game of the season would speak volumes!

[jim mk2]

Is it possible for Rovers fans to pay on the gate?

No brainer - Bell?

[tomphil]

Tosin next to Bell ????

Would be everything that's wrong with Mownbrays defensive recruitment right there, naive.

He’s shite, but name a better left back at the club?

He should be sacked at 5pm tomorrow if we don’t bring anyone else in, it would be footballing suicide.

[Ossydave]

I think we'll actually do ok at Fulham and at least get a point, we usually did ok last season when expected to lose.  Bit gutted I'm not going despite being rather pissed off at 5pm last Saturday. West Brom away travel sorted though ?‍♂️?

Hart, Grayson, Downing and Mulgrew, but not Williams.

If i'd been a Fulham scout and watched Bell struggle then seen us throw the loanee in next to him i'd be recommending sending as many balls down between them as possible.

We might see 3 at the back in this i suspect.

And just how do you work that out? 3 of the aren’t left backs, and one did no better than Bell did in league 1 (and he’s injured).

So swap Lenihan and Tosin around, better? Or do you suggest persisting with Mulgrew? If the latter then you’re crazy.

The question was to name Rovers players who I thought would be better at left back than Bell. This I have done.
