According to a report on Fulhamweb.com (via SportingLife), Fulham will be without David Stockdale, Damien Duff, Dickson Etuhu, Simon Davies, and Brede Hangeland against FC Basle 1893 tomorrow.
So we’re looking at a thin midfield with the likelihood of Matthew Saunders, Courtney Harris, or Reece Jones on the bench. Roy may throw Chris Baird into center-mid [...]
Alumni report

Considering there are but a few loaners this season, why not a mini alumni report?
Olivier Dacourt signed for Standard Liège last week as replacement for the injured Steven Dafour. He penned a one year deal but has yet to feature for the club. Like when he first arrived at Fulham, he probably needs some time [...]
Arsenal nick it

When is the last time Fulham put forth back-to-back solid performances, only to have the result diminish it?
I honestly cannot remember. But the football gods will smile upon us, I hope.
Dan and Rich summarized the match quite well, as always.
But Vito Mannone and Zoltan Gera should both receive MOM. Mannone came out of [...]
Words for the gaffer

Jon Champion at soccernet has some enlightening words to say about our gaffer.
My favorite part:
Thank goodness, then, that Fulham have such a clever manager guiding them. I first came across Hodgson during his stint at Blackburn more than a decade ago, and subsequent encounters at major tournaments, where he dissects matches for UEFA’s Technical Committee, [...]

Eddie Johnson starts! Kagisho Evidence Dikgacoi on the bench! Stoor back from exile! Live audio from Gentleman Jim!
Exclamation Points!
Wow. Really cannot complain about that one. Our reserves (valued at roughly 25 million quid) took ManCity’s first team squad (valued at over 400 million quid) into extra time, at Eastlands.
And Fulham even scored a goal, [...]
Incomplete passing

Look at those two chalkboards. They reveal similar stories about an offense unable to score, or even threaten.
But the top board, despite appearing to show more possession of the ball and a better scoreline, is actually statiscally worse than the bottom.
Against Chelsea, Fulham managed 291 passes. Of that total 235 were successful and 56 [...]

A 1-1 draw in Sofia coupled with Roma losing 2-0 in Basel is a good way to start off the Europa League Group Stages.
I can’t comment on the match too much, other than what’s seen in these highlights, but it appeared we were unfortunate to go down thanks to a good strike from Michel Platini [...]
Thanks!

Two things:
1) Interesting stat: Sunday’s victory over Everton was the first time since February 2008 that Fulham came from behind to win a match at home. That match against Villa saw Brian McBride return and Billy the Badger receive a yellow card. We’ve actually had more come from behind wins on the road since then. [...]

After the Chelsea match, I mentioned the obvious fact that if you don’t have the ball, you cannot win.
Well, looking at these two charts that is only sort of true.
Against Villa Paul Konchesky and John Painstil had almost double the amount of passes than against Everton. Not only that, but both had way more incomplete [...]
transfer review/season preview
By: timmyg | 7 Comments
All the pundits and fans were saying Fulham needed to bolster their roster, particularly with quality, to cope with the Europa League and have a chance of matching last year’s successes.
Mission accomplished? Well, sort of…
Roy did add several new faces, but are they the class that the media and fans were wanting?
Former Brummie Stephen [...]
