Fulham v Wolves preview

Oh August, what a distant memory you are.

One of the finest performances I've witnessed from Wolves came in our first home game of this season, against Sunday's opponents. Everything seemed to be right, we'd finally got it right with two up front, O'Hara looked fit and Johnson was a rock.

How things have changed since that game.

Good times

We sit 16th now after a horrible run of three wins in twenty four, with a new manager but it looks like things might finally be turning around. An excellent point at St.James's Park (and I will keep calling it that), a solid performance all round and Fletcher, Kightly and Bassong all in contention to start.

After a poor start to the season Fulham have been playing really well lately. Clint Dempsey has scored goals regularly, Moussa Dembele is an unbelievable talent and Bryan Ruiz looks like he is starting to get used to the Premier League. They almost play 4-2-4 at home, something that we need to try and expose instead of letting it be a threat because if we allow them to play like that, we will get punished.

Wayne Hennessey and Kevin Doyle have been declared fit to play after injury scares, which is a bonus. Connor's biggest dilemma is who he starts up front. He has noted that we have found it hard to fit them both in, so it should be one or the other. I think we will go with Doyle up front and Fletcher on the bench, ready to be used as an impact sub. With Sebastien Bassong fit, I think we will see him come in for Christophe Berra. Berra can count himself unlucky after a decent performance, but Terry has said himself he is not afraid to make tough decisions.

Here is how I expect us to go:

Hennessey

Zubar
Stearman
Bassong
Ward

Foley
Henry

Kightly
O'Hara
Jarvis

Doyle

A solid base, but with enough attacking threat to make sure we are in a game. It would be nice to see us go there and try to play again, which is what I think we may do.

Craven Cottage is a very hard place to go, but with our recent away form I will back us for a score draw. 1-1, which would give us a great base to build on for the rest of the season.
