I think their Albion rankings pretty much accords with what I've seen too, although I do rate Joe Bennett higher than them.
So, just why has Gary Gardner become NSC's latest boo-boy?

Yes, this is good news. I think I read that they might be recalling a teenage defender from loan at somewhere not very good to play against us. Hope so.

Don't need ready made excuses. I'd sooner play their first team.
(PS: I remember last team I saw Albion v Man United I wanted to see Giggs play. But then he went and scored a last minute winner from a free kick.)
Stats say that Fulham are the best tackling side in the Championship.
Better if they had their 5th, 6th and 7th ranked players out! Rodellega, McCormack, Ruiz. Scott Parker at 34 still seems to be playing well and is influential and useful on the pitch.
Past quote: On the day of the death of Johnny Haynes, Alan Mullery, another high-profile Fulham and England player, made the following tribute: "He was the only reason I went to Fulham as a young boy of 15 leaving school. He was my hero, the captain of England and Fulham. The word great rolls off the tongue quite easily these days but he really was. He was the best passer of a ball I have ever seen - I don't know anyone who could pass a ball as accurately. Anyone who saw him will know what a great player he was." (wiki)
Ross McCormack is probably the nearest player in the Championship to a Johnny Haynes.
Current top passer in the Championship is Keogh (Derby) at 90% from defence.
http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/25...ayerStatistics/England-Championship-2014-2015
Top passer in an attacking position is Will Hughes (Derby) 88%.
The top key passers, all players that have impressed me this season are: Cotterill, Redmond, Pringle (Rotherham), Cairney, Butterfield.

We'll probably miss Burn than the others. A lot of us will be happy with a point

Weather Report
Friday afternoon and still over a thousand tickets available, it seems. A lot of them are isolated and that excludes the normally empty bit in the NW corner. Most of the tickets were sold over a week ago. I would not wait to pay on the day as the choice is limited. So this means under the magic 30 thousand.
Weather looks good for football, if not for sunbathing.

Looks like the clouds will block out the low sun by KO.

I have to admit, I'm quite excited about Bent playing. He could be key to Hyypia's tactics, wing backs providing crosses to a big man may well work for them. And if we score more than we concede, I'll be happy.
I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong by the gaffer in this respect, he hasn't done a lot to boost my confidence in him.
My Line up:
4-2-3-1
Stockdale
Bruno
Greer
Dunk
Bennett
JFC/Holla
Gardner
Lua Lua
Colunga
Bennett (Solly sub)
Bent
March, Baldock, Calde, Walton, Hughes, Toko, Tex.

Does this thread mean that you are going to give us a chance at least on Saturday and NOT start the official match day thread.
Leave it to someone else PLEASE!
For the greater good, I have taken the drastic step of banning [MENTION=153]perseus[/MENTION] for 24 hours, to save us and him, should he not be able to resist the compulsion to start yet another doomed official match thread. I'll lift it, once the thread is up and running.

I went to that game in 1958 and we had a new signing from Workington Jack Bertolini marking the first £100 per week footballer, the face of Brylcreem Johnny Haynes, but Jack had him in his pocket all afternoon. Haynes was glad to go home.
