Team for Fulham (H) 15/04/2016

[Blue and White Tiger]

Difficult one this. Won our last game but didn't play well. Can't remember us starting a home game this season with just 1 up top, but with Bobby and Baldock out we may see it on Friday night.

13. David Stockdale
2. Bruno Saltor (c) ~~~ 17. Connor Goldson ~~~ 5. Lewis Dunk 23. ~~~ Liam Rosenior
38. Jiri Skalak ~~~ 7. Beram Kayal ~~~ 6. Dale Stephens ~~~ 27. Anthony Knockheart
36. Steve Sidwell
10. Tomer Hemed

Subs: 1. Nicki Maenpaa 3. Gordon Greer 14. Inigo Calderon 12. Gaetan Bong 21. James Wilson 29. Ritchie Towell 15. Jamie Murphy​

Thought Baldock might have been back for this one. Is he definitely out?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Stockdale
Bruno Goldson Dunk Rosenior
Skalak Kayal Stephens Murphy
Knockaert
Hemed​

Subs
Maenpaa; Greer, Bong; Sidwell, Towell, LuaLua; Wilson

The team picks itself really, Knockaert has to start and I think he'd be better suited playing inside while Skalak is on form on the right - his crossing is such a weapon in open play so much as from set pieces. Just get him the ball, and get Tomer awake in the box.

What Hughton said about Baldock last Friday.
"[Zamora and Baldock] are unavailable for Monday. Hopefully both are available for Friday.
"Sam is the one we are more pleased with. He went off in the Burnley game with a hamstring problem and we know that is one that can drag on.
"It's certainly not anywhere near as bad as it could have been."

 

[Bob!]

Baldock and Zamora (yeah, right) are both supposed to be back for this one aren't they?

This would be mu suggestion

As per Forest but Knockhaert in for Lua Lua.

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

surely gotta go 2 upfront at home and DEMOLISH those Londoners

 

[The Oldman]

Baldock is available but no Bobby

Baldock is available but no Bobby

Here's a link for this insight:

If Baldock is fit to start, I'd be tempted to start him as him and Hemed work well as a pairing. I'm sure Knockaert will start after his impact on Monday and he usually starts at home. LuaLua drops to the bench along with one of Skalak and Murphy (really undecided on them as Murphy offers much more from open play but we've scored three goals in the last two games from Skalak set pieces). Towell will presumably drop off the bench for Baldock to come into the 18.

I'd probably go with this, but it all hangs on how Baldock is. I'd rather we held on until QPR for bringing him back, if playing him vs Fulham risked a recurrence of his hamstring (which is an injury that lends itself to such risks with early returns). I'll solve your dilemma by starting Murphy ahead of Skalak.

It's going to piss down - maybe Kayal won't play
