So despite laughing at my post, do you still think iorfa won't be a top cb at this level or do you now think he can be then? I don’t recall but if I did then it’ll have been at your wild prediction based on never seeing him there. i mean I didn’t think you could better it but you have with your PL prediction, all of 1 good game. It certainly doesn’t mean I’ve wrote him off, I think currently he’s better suited to RB but that could change with time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Tricky game, but they all are, also every game is winnable. Lets see what happens, really proper test for monk and the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My predictions might seem wild to you but iorfa has pace, height, strength and long legs to block crosses and shots. In my experience of playing and watching football since age 5 for 36 years, these are all great attributes for a cb. He needs to prove he can perform consistently but he has the attributes to excel with correct application and by staying fit, which is more likely at cb by the way as its less running than at rb. Borner will likely compliment him and bring him on, he doesnt have the raw attributes of iorfa but may be better mentally at this stage e.g reading game, decisions and organising. That comes with experience and opportunity so i hope iorfa gets a run at cb to prove he's best in his preffered position of cb. When tammy abraham destroyed connor coady 1 on 1 for pace and scored vs wolves, i dont think iorfa would have been beaten that easily, if at all, or abraham might not even have bothered trying. Micheal keane at everton and england for around £35m, average at best prem cb imo. Gifted kosovo a goal then got done with a simple ball over top vs bournemouth. Rather have big dom (former england u21) in my defence, unfashionable or not. Another prediction, we may easily have an £8-10m+ cb on our hands and even if im wrong what a bargain he is for 500k.

Buddy Repperton Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Fulham are also purveyors of the "dark arts" .So expect some preston/QPR style - going to ground under any slight contact, stopping free kicks, time wasting etc. Prey for decent officials - for once!!!

No chance, you may aswell ask the players to make sure they've earned the foul. Don't give them away without putting in a "reducer", as Big Ron would say.

They are dangerous players. Liam Palmer will be up against Knockeart, and he's going to have to play a blinder to keep him quiet. The same goes for Iorfa and Borner keeping Mitrovic quiet. I'd be happy with a draw against Fulham. No begging for 4-2-4 formation this weekend, but... Harris may terrorise them on the break. UTO I agree. Their top 3 is absolutely frightening!
