Fulham away is historically a tough day out for Wanderers, having not won a league game at Craven Cottage since 1992.
However, Fulham are on a bad run themselves, and with 4 very tough fixtures to follow this one (3 of the top 4 and Norwich away), will have earmarked today as a must win game, on the back of their exit from the Europa League in midweek.
Predictions summary from Wanderers fans in WF's predictions league thread: Fulham win: 14 Draw: 6 Wanderers win: 11
Can we get into double figures for the season? Will it be another dire rollover or will the lads fight? Who am I kidding?
Team news....
Jaaskelainen, Boyata (Steinsson 46), Knight, Cahill, Alonso, Pratley (Eagles 46), Reo-Coker, Muamba, M Davies, K Davies (Ngog 54), Klasnic
Subs not used: Bogdan, Robinson, Tuncay, Petrov
Stockdale, Riise, Hangeland, Baird, Johnson, Ruiz, Murphy, Senderos, Etuhu, Dempsey, Dembele
Subs: Etheridge, Kelly, Sa, Gecov, Duff, Hughes, Frei
At last, a line-up without the awful Robinson and Steinsson.
Bobby Zamora has failed a late fitness test for Fulham.

Who blinks first...
This time next week, either Kean or Coyle will be gone..

They won't. Not with a game on Tuesday and then away games at Man U and Liverpool to follow. It would be grossly unfair on a new manager. Lets face it, if by some miracle we win on Tuesday, today's result for Blackburn means we would be 19th rather than 20th on Christmas Day. You can't tell me that wouldn't be good news either.

What if they sack Kean now and get first dabs on an unemployed manager?

Judging on some of the decisions the Venkys have made, they'd probably just appoint the Physio ....
Keans contract is worth a lot of money, even if they did get rid of him, I doubt they would be able to attract much in the way of talent.

Moses - don't worry about it. All these horrible results have affected Bricks in an unusual way. He's coming out with some absolutely blindingly stupid points at the moment.

What?
Like we're crap?
Crap team selection today?
We should have gone 4-5-1?
We need a new manager?
What's stupid about those??
More stupid would be:
Give Coyle more time.
He'll turn it around.
It's not his fault.
There's no one better.

McClaren... And that's better?

Bricks - here are some of your classic points I have observed over the last few days:
* We lost a goal in injury time with ten men at Swansea while chasing the game and you said this was because we were playing 4-51
* You said you didn't think a team without wingers had ever played in the PL even though Chelsea won the league with it and other teams have used a diamond formation
* As Coyle is struggling, you're all pro-Megson again. Nothing for two years. And now all a sudden it's Megson. As though the man didn't rip the heart and soul out of our club.
.
* Completely contradicting yourself over 4-5-1 in the space of a few days
* Steve McClaren
I hope these examples my comment for you.
