First 6 pointer ?

Yes I know we're only 2 games into the season, but tomorrow's game does have the feel of a must not lose game. After the euphoria of the opening game we were brought firmly down to earth by the opening 30 minutes and white Hart Line. How much that was due to Spurs brilliance and how much was down to our poor tactics and team selection is a debatable point. We got away with backs to the wall approach against Liverpool, but were cut to pieces adopting similar tactics against Spurs. As the season progresses my reservations about Neil and one or two members of the squad will no doubt become common knowledge, as they already are to the other Dutchbbaldes. That said, I hope our forum doesn't descend to the level of the official site with warnockers and supporters lining up against each other. I shall do my best to be objective and reasonable.
Anyway back to Saturday, Fulham have got off to a rocky start, so we don't want to donate points to a club that may well be in the relegation dog-fight with us. Other clubs are strengthening all the time; Villa have acquired an excellent manager in O'Neill and Bolton have just splashed 8 million pounds on Anelka, so the candidates for relegation seem to be getting fewer and fewer. The game itself will be intriguing, with Brown playing against us, I believe for the first time since he left The Lane. No doubt he will get a good reception, unless of course, he produces another tackle like the one he made at Old Trafford. Also with Neil back on the touchline who better to referee the match than as he was described elsewhere, Arsenal's best midfielder Graham : three cards" Poll . I wonder what the odds are on Neil lasting the full 90 minutes.
So here's hoping that we play 4-4-2, that Hulse is fit and that we do attract the 2 or 3 players that Neil claims he wants to add to the squad before the transfer window closes.
