Fulham at Rotherham...Tomorrow!!!

One major adjustment that I'm not used to yet is the schedule where the fixtures can come fast and furious. Have to put Saturday's great win in the memory bank and play a hard working newly promoted side at their place on Tuesday. This is a match where the leaders on the team need to step up and drive the squad to 3 more points. The attitude needs to be that a loss is unacceptable, a draw is a missed opportunity, and a win is about taking care of business.

 

what?!?

COYW!

 

This is, on paper at least, is a winnable away match. However, two things give me pause: 1) The Millers are at full strength, and 2) they're gonna want a recently relegated Premier League scalp in the worst way. There isn't one name on their roster you'd recognize, and their leading scorer has a whopping two goals. Joe and Don are spot on in two respects. The leaders need to step up, and the subs need to step up and seize the opportunity that is most assuredly heading their way this week. The bottom line? We have way too much quality to lose this match. That quality needs to manifest itself in a big way RIGHT NOW! Parker, Ruiz, McCormack, Rodallega, Stafylidis, Hoogland and even Matt Smith, who I expect to see sometime this week, need to bring it and get us results against these type of opponents. Oh, and we have a sane manager in charge. The longer Kit's in charge, the more ludicrous the Magath Era appears to be.

 

UPDATE: Fulham at Rotherham....TODAY!!!!!!

Was it me, or when HD said that we are on 'a trip to darkest Yorkshire' that visions of leafless trees on dark paths with glowing sets of eyes in the background appear?

 

A very young side today. Burn as captain. No Rodallega or Hoogland.
COYW!

 

Come on you Whites!!!!!!!!

 

I like the lineup. I like our chances. 2-1 good guys.

 

Made it to the chat...the moment the match ended (cue the old banging the head against the wall icon). Not full value, but to come back 3 times to grab a result (especially when Rotherham grabbed a 3-2 in the 86th) does point to squad moving in the right direction.

 

A huge, huge result, given the circumstances. On the road at a completely unfamiliar new opponent and venue, FIVE new starters, including two of the kids, Woodrow and Hyndman, and no Tim Hoogland, our leading scorer thus far. Come the first of May, this could be the single biggest point we earn this season. Great character and resolve shown by the lads tonight, coming back three times from being down. That in itself could also go a long way toward turning everything around somewhere down the road. VERY big, VERY huge. And I think Kit gets the "caretaker" removed from his title this week. How can they not?

 

What a great goal from Cauley.
