Fulhamish

It's a win! Fulham picked up three points in the league at Goodison Park for the first time, well, ever - as new boy Josh Maja grabbed the headlines with a brace on his full debut - one of several Super Eagles in SW6 soaring into survival’s sight. The Goodison Curse broken, the winless streak snapped, smiles fully back on faces - although this is just the start if the Whites are truly to pull off the remarkable. 

Jack, Ben, Cam and Dan Crawford look at a brilliant performance up on Merseyside, as well as taking a deeper dive into Harrison Reed's crucial role, our newly minted left-back conundrum after Ola Aina's display, whether Anguissa takes back a starting place, and how this team shapes up going forward. There's a stack of your questions too!

Finally, we face up to another Hoodoo trip for Fulham - this time in the shape of Turf Moor, as we look towards another crucial game in Fulham's bid to survive in the Premier League.

Sammy, Jack and Peter have the final word on our 0-0 draw against the Hammers, before taking a look at Sunday's trip to Goodison Park. Can Fulham take advantage of Everton's exertion during their 120 minute thriller against Spurs on Wednesday night?

Then we turn our attention to the news about Harvey Elliott's reported £4.3million tribunal fee. We discuss the morality of big clubs being able to take promising players from smaller clubs for relatively low fees, whilst acknowledging of course, that this is something FFC have used to their advantage too.

Another point, another good performance and sadly, another step closer to relegation. We look back on Fulham's goalless draw against the Hammers, which cuts Fulham further adrift from the pack above.

We discuss Scott's tactics, as he successfully reverts to a back-four, his bizarre re-selection of Cavaleiro up-top and whether Fulham actually have a gameplan in the final third.

Finally, we go through your questions, and try to find some reasons to be positive, despite the looming gap to safety.

We look back at the defeat at the hands of Leicester City, as an 8 point gap opened up between Fulham and 17th place. It all means survival is looking like a thinner and thinner possibility, especially with Fulham creating so few chances.

We then turn our attention to the deadline day activity as Josh Maja arrived in SW6 and three players headed out on loan. Was it shrewd business? Or was it a late panic purchase by the Fulham hierarchy?

Finally, we look at the challenge an in-form West Ham will pose at the Cottage on Saturday, with three points desperately needed if Parker's men are to stay in the fight.

It was another case of two points dropped for Fulham as a trip to The Hawthorns came and went without that elusive win for FFC. And with other results not going our way this weekend, the Whites are starting to fall adrift of the pack in the fight for survival.

We break down a game of two halves, with an excellent opening 45 being thrown away with a poor second period, and look at just why this one felt so costly for Scott Parker's men. 

There's plenty of questions too, as we talk everything from Mitrovic's return to the side, where the wins will come from, how this team stacks up to the 2018/19 side, recruitment, and what we'd like to ask our Director of Football if we were given the opportunity. 

Finally, we take a quick look ahead to Wednesday's game against Leicester City at the Cottage, and discuss how we'd go about doing the double over the Foxes in the strangest of all seasons.

A review of Fulham's 0-0 draw at the Amex stadium, as we walked away from Brighton with a frankly undeserved point. We look back at Parker's tactics, which clearly work defensively, but could be stifling the team in attack. We ask once again if Mitro is the answer instead of Cav.

We then take a look at potential incoming transfers, with the deadline just four days away. Can Fulham pull a striker out of the bag last minute? It's looking unlikely, but we discuss a few options including Odion Ighalo and Josh Maja.

Finally, we look ahead to West Brom on Saturday, which everybody unanimously agrees, is a MUST win.

We look back at a bad day for the Whites as Fulham crashed out of the FA Cup in the Fourth Round at the hands of relegation rivals Burnley. 

We discuss the players who have played themselves into (or out of) Scott's plans for the rest of the campaign, and we take a deeper dive into how the team should approach an absolutely crucial clash with Brighton on Wednesday night, before finishing with a chat about our transfer plans and any expected activity, in or out, over the next week or two.

All the reaction to Fulham's narrow defeat by Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.

In this episode Sammy, Jack and The Athletic's Peter Rutzler ask why FFC can't seem to turn good performances into good results. We analyse some of the defensive weaknesses that Solksjaer's team exposed, and whether now is the time to bring Mitrovic back in for Ivan Cavaleiro.

We then take a look ahead to Sunday's FA Cup 4th round tie against Burnley, in which many expect Scott to make sweeping changes.

A look back at Wednesday night's draw against Spurs, as Ivan Cavaleiro's header secured the Whites a point on their first visit to the shiny new stadium. 

Sammy, Jack and The Athletic's Peter Rutzler discuss Alphonse Areola's exceptional performance, Lookman's impact from the bench, and how Fulham could have won it late if Aboubakar Kamara had just got his head up. We also talk about Scott Parker, and how he continues to overcome all obstacles thrown at him, something outlined in Peter's latest piece for The Athletic.

We then preview Saturday's SW6 Derby, as Fulham look to pick up their first win against the Blues since 2006 and heap more misery upon Frank Lampard's side.
