Fulham then wolves and its a really big test of our play off credentials. I remember thinking Fulham best team we played last season and was surprised way their season ended. Wolves seem a strong outfit too so lets hope we can continue our strong away form. Is anybody ITK about when BP is back as i think we need him back.

Would you take a win and a defeat from these two games? Extremely tough, both of them. However, with our away form and the general feeling among the squad, I'm confident we can win both.

I probably would take two draws but obviously be great to win.

Yes Fulham was a bit of a bogey team
for SGs formation and tactics.

Feel we have a better chance this season,

Wolves have spent loads but I think the game
could go either way.

Two great games coming up - exciting times!🙂
 
If Pearson is fully fit for this week-end then the question for AN is whether to bring him straight back presumably at the expense of either Browne or Harrop. Would be a bit tough on either of them if that were to be the case but as we can see already AN does not shirk tough decisions.
 
If Pearson is fit he comes back in as he is totally different than the players mentioned and we miss him.
Surely he has to be fit, I've never known a dead leg last so long

I definitely think in place of Browne despite him being MOTM past few games. Ben is our best player so if fit has to play in my opinion.

Pearson is one booking away from a suspension so the chances of him playing in both games is somewhat doubtful.

Fulham have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their 5 home games this season, so that gives us some encouragement.

I definitely would....as long as any defeat was not a heavy one

He is two bookings away from suspension.
 
Normally a draw in both of these games would be perfectly acceptable.

The downside is that it would probably see us drift back toward mid-table and it would take time to recover the lost ground. I know it’s a marathon and not a sprint but far better to keep up with the leading pack rather than playing catch-up. Another factor is that we don’t want to amass too many draws as we’ve already drawn nearly half of our games (5 from 11) and while that may contribute to a continuing unbeaten run which is always nice to see, it won’t do much for our league position.

It’s a tough ask but if we are to maintain a serious challenge I think we need to aim for 4pts.
 
What's all this "would you take...?" talk?

I didn't realise fans could influence the results of games by taking or refusing potential scorelines.

Would you take a 6-0 win? Yes
Would you take a 6-0 loss? I suppose I've no choice....
 
I had wolves down as an auto pick at the start of the season, as I'm sure many did. Likewise I had Fulham down as a play-off team probably reaching the final, they were very good last year and their youngsters last year will only get better (like ours) I reckon these two games, as the OP states are the best marker for where we will be around come the end of the season. In my opinion anything out of these games will be great.
 
I don't know why but I fancy us doing Fulham and getting a point at Wolves. I think AN's tactics against them will be better than SGs and their home form is dodgy to say the least as strangely they are better away this season.
 
I think one thing we can be sure of is that our manager will be trying to get a win at Fulham and then another at Wolves. It makes a refreshing change to thinking we might hold out for 90 mins.
