Fulham v Wolves Preview

Last time we came to Craven Cottage both sides were in completely different moods. Fulham had a game in Europe to look forward to while we were content to play for a draw, as that would help us along to safety.

Fulham, under new manager Mark Hughes have played out three draws. Bolton and Man Utd represented good results, but in their mind they dropped points at Blackpool.

We go into this game unbeaten so far this season, and I'm sure most of us would be pleased with a point but a win is not out of our reach. Kevin Doyle had two man-of-the-match performances for Ireland, looked fit and should be back to his best tomorrow for us. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake will rightfully keep his place, and I wouldn't put it past him to score another.

Jelle van Damme and Stephen Fletcher travelled with the squad. If he's fully fit, I'd expect van Damme to start, but Fletcher will sit in the bench until he's needed. Jelle will offer us a lot defensively, which is what we might need, but he is also a goal threat. He wins everything in the air, and on the ball he can be creative.

Fulham play a 4-4-2, so we shouldn't have to be worried about being over run. Henry will go about his job quietly, and hopefully snuffle out the likes of Murphy and Gera while Jones will need to up his game. He hasn't quite been at his best in the last couple of games, as we were involved in some physical encounters but he will be counted on to do what he does best.

I reckon:

Hahnemann

Foley
Craddock
Berra
Ward

Jarvis
Henry
Jones
Van Damme

Doyle
Ebanks-Blake

If you are going, make sure you get behind them. We can get something from this game, but Fulham are desperate for a win. Fulham 1 Wolves 0. Don't shoot me!
