Quick Stoke Preview
Well it’s Friday, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. This means that tomorrow we entertain Stoke City, a quite-high-flying Championship outfit with that division’s meanest defence.
To counter this Fulham welcome Simon Davies to the team, which gives Coleman welcome options in the middle of the park. Zat Knight should also be back, which is also A Good Thing - he’s been terrific this year, and most of our bad days seem to coincide with his absence (I’ll have to check this later, but this is my perception). Clint Dempsey will have more training under his belt and Vincenzo Montella will be that bit sharper too. All in all things look good.
Less good will be attendance. Rumours are that we’re struggling to fill ‘er up, which might be put down to a number of issues, not least the fact that we’ve had a very expensive two months following the team. Many will choose to watch three games on TV, and I can understand this. Of course, many stayed home for the third round replay and missed the latest crazy installment of Fulham Go Bananas, but that’s the way things go.
Have a great weekend, COYW, and see you at Wembley.
