They haven't won up here since 1951. It's just in the footballing stars.

We didn't have a shot on target one year under Dyche and still beat them 2-1.

To put it in perspective, we have won at City in the time they haven’t won here.

Lets hope so price of 2/1 does look good value.

Points wise they are the 2nd worst team on the road.

play like we did down there then yes we have a good chance but we will see ..

We do usually beat them at home so let’s we just see a continuation of that form.

We are capable for sure BUT we also need to be mindful of the fact that this is a very different game: William and Jimenez didn’t play in the opposing fixture. They’re everything that Fulham’s game is about.

I hope we do but like every game at this level it’s incredibly difficult for this team.

We would have beaten Luton too if Berge was fit, that was a huge blow really.

Don't forget the referee.

Possibly, but we've had a few games recently that I was hopeful we'd pick up points. Its difficult to get up for it now knowing we have left it too late.

I was pleased with the second half yesterday though, roll on next season

Can’t think that we can play as bad as last nights performance so we must come out of the traps with all guns blazing on Saturday.

Massengo in for Amdouni, Fofana in for JBG.

4-3-3

Muric would be nice as well but we know it isn't happening

Play our game and be relentless - UTC

I think we’ll beat Fulham ,as the thought of the gap to safety after Liverpool and Arsenal is too bad to even imagine .

Jimenez is out for "weeks" with a hamstring injury, thankfully

If it wasn’t for his horrendous head injury he would’ve attracted the big clubs. Shame for him but still glad he’s not available.

Both United and Liverpool were about to move for him iirc, and Juventus

I used to say that about Aston Villa who hadn't won a league game at Burnley since 1936, that was until NYD 2020, they've now won three out of the last four at the Turf.

Think we are a good bet at 2/1.

For most of my time supporting the Clarets, I have expected Burnley to win at home, no matter the opponent. That we would have a right good go.

These last few years in the prem have drained that.

Im sorry but i'm in the "every dog has its day" camp.

So while we were suffering 4th division and Rovers were winning the league i always said we would get them one day.

I look at records like Fulhams and think were ripe for the taking.

In fact which fulham players who hasnt scored a goal will probably get the opener or winner

New Brighton were enduring their last season in League football, Atlee was Prime Minister and sugar, meat and cheese was still rationed when Fulham won 0-2 at Turf Moor on 21st April 1954. Since then, they've visited 31 times ( 28 League & 3 Cup ) and have a record of 0-6-25...

However, as you say Tony, these records are going to fall at some point, but hopefully not just yet ...

If it does, we can console ourselves that Saturday will mark 13 years, 10 months and 7 days since our last defeat to t'Rovers, since when the record stands at 6-3-0 over the nine intervening games. In the words of Ian Dury, " Reasons to be cheerful, part 1 " !!

Sorry to disappoint but we won't as Iam going on. Honestly cannot remember the last time I saw us win a top flight home game. Probably under Michael Jackson?

In fact change win to got a point.

Did you think the same last night? That Burnley will have their day?

I suppose the worrying thing is we don't usually win down there.

I honestly think if we play to our strengths and start Fofana with Foster we have a real chance.

The last 15 minutes against city has got me excited for the first time in a long time for this game.

Here’s hoping we have a season changing result

Crowdfund to pay Goobs to stay in?

I'm sure we could raise enough for 'Lets Eat'.

Exit Jimenez Enter Broja

Hope we win especially as I thought Silva was a bit ungracious after we deservedly won down there earlier in the season.

Beat Fulham and I'll believe again.

If my memory isn't playing tricks, I believe that Jay made his debut against Fulham as a sub and scored in the dying minutes to win a cup game.

Think his stats for Bolton were good, but he didnt get another move when they went down unfortunately.
If he had pace and stamina he could have gone right to the top, he was just physically a bit pathetic. Didnt he have asthma too?

I'm guessing our away points haul to date puts a fair bit higher up that list that Fulham?

We need to make sure we don’t make any silly mistakes against Fulham and I don’t just mean Trafford … This needs be the start of a run with Palace up next .. a draw will feel like a loss I think

Am I correct in remembering that we got him on a free transfer as well? Top player in his day.

We absolutely must beat Fulham. With fixtures against Liverpool and Arsenal next, a draw is not acceptable.

No, think it was between 1 and 2 million which we couldn't afford and left us with a transfer embargo for not paying UTD the installments.

Wow that was a real black spot in my memory just did a quick read of his Wikipedia page and he had an interesting career all round, he must have some great stories to tell.
