Fulhamish

Beating Newcastle at the weekend tipped Fulham's start to this season from decent to very good, and on the Thursday Club we wanted to dig into what we've seen so far in a bit more detail. Jack is joined by Henry Hill, broadcaster and journalist at FootballJOE, and an ardent Fulham fan, to dissect what we've seen from Marco Silva's side at the start of this new campaign. 

That gives us a platform as well to answer a multitude of your questions - in regards to the role of Andreas Pereira, whether Fulham still need to dip into the market for another striker in January, what skipper Tom Cairney's position within the squad is at this point, the form of Adama Traore, how the midfield balance will work, and a whole lot more. 

We finish with a look ahead to this weekend's trip to Nottingham Forest - where we have some pretty brutal memories from last season, as well as a little discussion on the FA Cup vs the Carabao Cup and the most Fulhamish moments we can remember from the past few years. "

Newcastle have been Fulham's bogey team for years, but today the Fulhamish team celebrate a much-needed 3-1 win against Newcastle at Craven Cottage, finally breaking the Toon hoodoo. With goals by Raul Jimenez, Emile Smith-Rowe, and Reiss Nelson, and impressive performances across the park, there's a lot to be optimistic about.

In part two, we take a bunch of listener questions, including about the role of Sander Berge in this team, Raul's renaissance, and what predictions we have for the season based on what we've seen so far.

Well, that's a record anyway - the longest penalty shootout in English domestic football history, and of course Fulham ended up on the wrong side of it. After a frustrating 90 minutes of action against Preston North End at Deepdale, Fulham's heavily rotated XI weren't able to find a winner, and thus ensued one of the most typical stories you could imagine. 

We take a look back at the game as a whole, examining the performances of a number of players for better and for worse - Ryan Sessegnon, Reiss Nelson, Rodrigo Muniz, Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed, Sander Berge, Issa Diop, Jorge Cuenca and Steven Benda - before touching on the penalty shootout that dominated the headlines this morning for good measure. 

Then we head onwards to Newcastle at the Cottage this weekend - traditionally a game we always struggle in - and take a look at what changes Marco could make, and how we can win the individual battles against a Magpies side that haven't been playing brilliantly, but keep finding results nonetheless. There's a quick email to address leadership in this group, before we finish with a special This'll Catch On written specifically about the Drama at Deepdale last night. "

The discussion on this podcast should have been one only of positivity - as Fulham on Saturday were by far the better team against Julen Lopetegui's West Ham, but instead there was an air of frustration after a late lapse in concentration allowed Danny Ings to score a 94th minute equaliser.

In this podcast we dissect Joachim Andersen's return, Raul's well-taken goal, Reiss Nelson's debut and of course, the game management that cost Fulham two points. We also look ahead to the Carabao Cup match against Preston North End on Tuesday.

The Thursday Club reconvenes as club football returns, with Sammy and Jack talking about the performances of our International Whites - including a screamer from Harry Wilson for Wales, Fulham vs Fulham as Joachim's Denmark beat Sasa's Serbia, and Josh King captaining the England U19s.

We also discuss the Deadline Day activity that saw Jay Stansfield depart for Birmingham and Reiss Nelson come in on loan, as well as the club's sponsorship deal with IUX, which has been critiqued by investigative journalist Martin Calladine. Martin jumped on with our friends at Fulham Focus for a full interview, which they've kindly let us use a snippet of here, but to listen to the full podcast, which we thoroughly recommend, you can listen here.

Then it's onwards to West Ham. We take a look at how the Hammers have started the season, as well as their new additions; before examining any changes Marco is likely to make ahead of this one. And finally, we finish with a couple of emails, a first This'll Catch On for Emile Smith Rowe, and a chat about the Fulham Barclaysmen of yesteryear.

We always knew this would be a game that newly-promoted Ipswich would be up for, however you'd be forgiven for coming away from Portman Road with a feeling of wanting more. Overall, a draw seemed a fair result against Kieran McKenna's well-organised Tractor Boys, and a point away from home is not to be sniffed at in this league. In part one we break down the game and try to analyse what aspects of Fulham's game aren't quite clicking yet.

In part two we answer some of your questions and look ahead to the international break.

Fulham are through to Round 3 of the Carabao Cup, where it's been revealed that a trip to Deepdale awaits Marco Silva's Whites. Goals from Raul Jimenez and Jay Stansfield, who struck against the club he was on loan at last season, saw Fulham into the hat for the next round; but the performance left some things to be desired. 

We also briefly look at Fulham's win over Leicester in the Premier League at the weekend, before looking onwards to Saturday's trip to Portman Road. Whilst it's a game we can't wait for in terms of fan experience, it's also a potentially tricky game - as it's the Tractor Boys first real winnable fixture of the season, and they'll be bang up for it in Suffolk. 

Finally, we take a look through your emails, discussing some of our West London rivals, a potential new signing in Ernest Nuamah from Lyon, and some other bits and bobs, before we wrap things up. "

The first win of the season is always a sweet one, especially when it comes from the first home outing. Craven Cottage was alive with optimism on Saturday, after goals from new signing Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi got us over the line against the Foxes.

Fulham were the better team throughout the game. This, paired with a "feel good factor" around the club, a brilliant manager, and exciting new signings yet to be fully bedded in, and there are many reasons to be cheerful this week.

In part 1 we discuss the game; what ESR is capable of within this Fulham side, the manner in which we conceded, and the midfield conundrum. In part 2 we answer some of your questions.
