the pigman 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Fulham were well beaten by Everton yesterday but looking at how they played they will beat us with no trouble at all.Its been said many times this season,now is the time for players, management to sort it out away from home.That is a game we must win now,so was Swansea.Time for Hoots to do a Phil Brown and keep them on the pitch at half time in front of the City fans,their performances are a disgrace away from home and the support they get makes it even worse.I can see this lot going to Fulham and getting another 6 against them.I wont be there as I vowed never to enter that ground again after that end of season shocker,I have still not got over that.So someone please knock these players into shape before that game or else they will be down where they must think they belong.

Tetteys Jig 851 Posted March 31, 2014 Fulham lost 3-1 at home, that doesn''t make me worried in particular.The fact we are completely hopeless away from home makes me worried. The best we can hope for is a flukey 1-0 win. If we go away from home and allow the pressure we put on our back four again, we''ll be comfortably beaten.

Paul 0 Posted March 31, 2014 If Fulham play the way they did in the first half and the first 20 mins of the second half yesterday, the game will be over by then as it will 2 or 3 nil Fulham.We have to come out at 100 miles an hour all attacking and get an early goal, if we do that their heads will drop like it did when Everton scored the second, but if we play the way we normally do away from home we will be hammered.

rock bus 1,060 Posted March 31, 2014 Admitedly I only saw the highlights, but from them I thought Fulham actually looked pretty good, especially given their positon in the league. Arguably the score line flattered Everton as Fulham had a real go at them (now there''s an idea for Hughton!!) and the third was a classic sucker punch as Fulham searched for the equaliser.In fact, it just made me even more convinced we are highly unlikely to get anything there so puts even more pressure on Saturdays game :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted March 31, 2014 I actually feel better about the away game at Old Trafford to be honest, strange but true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on. Fulham were a lot better than 1-3 suggests and we can be certain they will be at our throats from the start. We''ll then find out how big our lads'' gonads are.

JF 694 Posted March 31, 2014 If we beat West Brom saturday Hughton will go there and park the bus, problem is that we don''t park it very well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor Hockey's Beard 606 Posted March 31, 2014 Has Hughton got his PSV licience? maybe we have stumbled on why we fail to draw away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted March 31, 2014 The reason wh we''re poor away is the same reason why we have to defend so well at home. We don''t take enough of our chances. The 2 games that spring to mind are at Cardiff and West Ham. We spurned enough chances to win each of those games easily. Had we won them we''d be 11th in the away table.

BOO 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Defending like a disorganised rabble might also be a factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted March 31, 2014 Certainly in a lot of games Winky. But the bottom teams are much of a muchness and if we''d managed to win those 2 games we''d be 11th in the away table. But you''re right if we''d managed to defend better and drawn six of the games we''d lost we''d be 11th in the away table just the same. But I can''t think of the six games that could be!
