Fulham go into their next game against QPR with a problem on their hands in the striking department, as Aleksandar Mitrovic faces a one-game suspension for accumulating 5 yellow cards.

Excuse my ignorance but have Fulham kept most of their PL squad? Could this be another game where we look good in possession but allow through passes/crosses at the back and missed opportunities up front....?

I didn't realise that Mitrovic is suspended. I guess that helps us, but whoever takes his place will be keen to impress.
I honestly can't see us getting much from this game. No wins in the last 4, at least 2 goals conceded in the last 8, on Sky... Mitrovic or not Fulham will fancy their chances!
It'll certainly be a very tough game, but hopefuly we can pinch something. Mitrovic being suspended can't do us any harm, how are you even able to replace someone like him?
They're not exactly on the best run of form in recent weeks. You never know what we could do! Their team still looks frightning on paper, but hopefully we can get there and pull off a shock!
Given how tough the fixture is, our current form and our record there, would you see this game as a free hit or one we need to take something from?
It's definitely a free hit, a point would be great, a win tremendous!
I'm sure 90% (if not more) of our fanbase are expecting nothing from this game. Most of the times we've been on TV at Fulham we've lost heavily. Once we got a draw but even that was from 2-0 down.
The only time I remember us winning (late Sylla header) that wasn't on TV!
Does anyone know what the situation is with Leistner and Barbet? Hopefully the International break has given them the time they needed to get over their knocks.
Whatever the team we will need the central midfielders to ensure they are supporting the defence and helping to cover the wing backs when they push forward.
Its going to be a difficult game and I want to see us play with some passion and show a bit of spirit. We need to do to them what Brentford did to us.
I'm in the 10% I have a feeling we may actually turn up for this one. Not sure if it's enough of a feeling to put a win down on the prediction league though......................
No idea on the Barbet / Leistner situation of the two which one would you prefer to have back for this game? Barbet for me.

I think Leistner is the better and more dominant central defender but from a positional point of view we do need a left sided central defender. Therefore, for this game my preference would be for Barbet.

Have you noticed that very little news on injuries comes out of the club these days. Understandable in terms of not giving much away to the opposition, but frustrating for us (especially in terms of prediction)!
Everbody remember to take mitrovic of your first scorer on prediction league To be fair fulham are pretty dry on the goal front if mitrovic doesnt play,hes their main scorer lets take advantage and see if we can get a surprise point or win
Mitrovic would of eaten leistner alive and had our other defenders for afters,he’s a big lump who simply just gets stuck in and nicks goals They are lot more lightweight without him in the team Personally think him being absent will keep the scoreline down a bit If we lose then it could be very damaging to the team and warburton will struggle to pick them back up I watched Fulham the other week and apart from cairney and mitrovic I actually thought they looked average We have enough firepower but a paper thin defence But you never know
