Fulham vs WBA - Match Thread

After recording our first home victory under Slaven Bilic (though not without its hair-raising moments) and enjoying a welcome fortnight's break from the punishing Championship schedule, Albion are back in action on Saturday and right in at the deep end with a visit to Craven Cottage for the first time since September 2013. The auspices aren't great: we've been winless against Fulham since 2010, winless on their turf since the ding-dong 3-2 League Cup triumph courtesy of Junichi Inamoto in October 2005, and our last league victory in SW6 was almost fifty-two years ago, on 7th October 1967. As a general rule, if you haven't taken three points from a ground since the days when they didn't even give you three points for it, the fountain of expectation does not overflow.

Nor is there good cause to believe it'll be any easier than usual, with the Cottagers freshly relegated from the Prem and making a decent if not stellar start to the campaign under Scott Parker. A home defeat to Forest provides a glimmer of hope that they're not invincible, and with Albion just one of three teams unbeaten in the division now, we can at least hope for a fighting performance on the banks of the Thames. A draw would be a good return, but it'll take something special for us to spoil the weekend of Hugh Grant and the Tooting Popular Front.
