Fulham & Hull vs WBA - Match Thread

**Ska'dForLife-WBA** · 28-10-2021, 15:22

A necessary and pretty convincing win over Bristol City has eased some of the pressure and concern over lacklustre displays this autumn, but there's plenty of scope for a horror-show as we travel down to Craven Cottage this Hallowe'en weekend for a major six-pointer. With three consecutive wins under the belt, which have seen the Cottagers score ten goals and concede only one in reply, Marco Silva's men have built up a serious head of steam in second place. Aleksander Mitrovic has bagged fifteen goals for the season already, and Fulham's set-pieces - especially corners - are proving phenomenally hard for other sides to cope with. Given our exceptionally chequered record against the West Londoners - we're without a win against them since October 2010, and *still* without a league win at Craven Cottage since 1967, as I never tire of pointing out - a draw would be a very decent return in a match where we're likely to be under the cosh.

Whatever the outcome of Saturday's match, however, there should be no excuses for not delivering a home win against ailing Hull next Wednesday night. For the Tigers it's just one win in thirteen and only two all season as they go through a Turkish takeover in the boardroom. Granted, there's always a banana skin factor when facing teams in the relegation dogfight, but Albion have to take that in their stride if promotion is the aim.

7 is a Robert Robson (for starters).
