Fulham Focus

Following late heartbreak in the Carabao Cup, Fulham must dust themselves down - but having suffered yet another set-piece capitulation at St James' Park, that will also mean sharpening up for the visit of a Nottingham Forest side now managed by Sean Dyche.So join Sam (live from a late-night Christmas party in Glasgow) and Kish (live from an evening at home with his cats) as they discuss a Craven Cottage clash under the lights, and attempt to answer questions such as have we finally learnt some lessons? How might Marco Silva solidify us at the back? And would another home loss leave us looking nervously over our shoulder?There's also chat with football writer and Forest fan David Marples, who not only provides the lowdown on the differences between Nuno-ball, Ange-ball and Dyche-ball, but also tells the stories behind his recent induction into the 92 Club.

After waiting 74 years for a win at Turf Moor, Harry Wilson magic and Bernd Leno heroics saw Fulham overcome the Burnley curse by the very finest of marginsBut in our dodgy defending and poor game management, did Scott Parker's side show up some frailties that need correcting?And with a midweek trip to St James's Park the only thing standing in our way of a Carabao Cup semi final, can we regroup without our AFCON stars to take a step closer to cup glory?Kish breaks down all of that and more with the most vibey social media double act since Bassey and Iwobi: Dylan Chavasse and (Mr Fulham South Africa himself) James Preston

After two home defeats in quick succession, maybe an away game is what's required for Marco Silva and his Fulham side to get back on track.The only trouble is it's a trip to Turf Moor that awaits, and that's a stadium the Whites haven't won at in 33 attempts since April 1951.Nevertheless, Sam and Luke sit down to ponder whether a Christmas miracle really is possible, and wonder exactly what our trio of Super Eagles can offer before they depart for AFCON.Meanwhile, teenage social media star Jacob Horsfall brings the Burnley perspective, explains how the hosts can be got at, and endears himself to the Focus gang by putting the boot into Scott Parker.

Will Fulham ever beat Crystal Palace at home again?For some of Sunday‘s encounter it looked like it may finally be happing. But a combo of Samuel Chukwueze’s toenail, some questionable subs, and our trademark set-piece frailty struck.So join Sam, Kish and Luke to get the latest Cottage capitulation to Oliver Glasner out of your system.The gang lament our soft defending, marvel at Harry Wilson’s one-man Goal of the Season mission, salute the continued Emile Smith Rowe renaissance, and ponder if our season is at risk of being derailed by key AFCON departures.

Have you recovered from Tuesday night yet? Sam and Kish certainly haven’t! So join them for a special Fulham Focus double bill to discuss the maddest of mad nights at the Cottage in recent years and work out what it means for our clash with Crystal Palace when we return there on Sunday.  In Part 1, they’re joined by Stuart Lutes to decide if we should be more alarmed by Fulham’s defending or delighted by our attacking against Man City and wax lyrical about Samuel Chukwueze and Alex IwobiIn Part 2 (42:50), Rich from ‘Eagle-Eyed Football’ gives us the lowdown on this weekend’s opponents as we try to work out if Marco Silva will finally find the blueprint to beating Oliver Glasner at the Cottage.

Fulham secured back to back wins after a golden start to the game away at TottenhamAnd with Pep’s City headed to the Cottage under the lights on Tuesday could more excitement be on the way? Join Kish for a Fulham Focus quickfire double which is hopefully as enjoyable as Tete and Wilson at Spurs! In part one, Matt and Morgan review a glorious and long overdue away win after Marco Silva outthought Thomas Frank early and the Fulham defence gritted it out late.And in part two Bailey Wynne from the Sky Blue Times comes on to discuss how exactly the Whites might want to approach taking on a Man City side doing things rather differently this season

Fulham head to Tottenham on Saturday night to face a familiar foe. But with Marco Silva’s men on a one-game winning streak, and Thomas Frank’s Spurs wobbling after a painful North London derby, can we pile the pressure on?Join Sam and Kish as they discuss this battle between a Fulham team who can’t win away and a Spurs side who can’t win at home. They also get the lowdown on all things Tottenham from ‘An Echo of Glory’ podcast contributor James Robbins, and wade into the growing culture war surrounding Joao Palhinha’s role in their team.

The world just seems a better place after a Fulham win, doesn't it?Join Sam, Kish and Tristan to celebrate Raul Jimenez's goal poacher instincts, Samuel Chukwueze's perfect cameo, Emile Smith Rowe's newfound running power, and a performance from Marco Silva's men that may get the confidence flowing once again in SW6.Meanwhile, Kish gets his tactical hat on to examine why our midfield rejig in the second half against Sunderland paid dividends. Tristan gets his financial hat on to explain why Fulham are one of the clubs who have some work to do before the new SCR rules come in next season. And Sam gets his hangover hat on to try and get through the episode without dropping a clanger.Listen, enjoy, and remember to subscribe for more Fulham Focus content from wherever you get your pods.

It's good to be back, right?!Well, with Rodrigo Muniz out until the New Year, our heartbroken Nigerian boys still jet lagged, Joachim Andersen recovering from Scott McTominay's overhead kick, Raul Jimenez still inexplicably playing for Mexico, and Marco Silva's future as unclear as ever, maybe it isn't?Fulham return to Craven Cottage on Saturday in desperate need of a post-international break win against high-flying Sunderland - but in coming up against a newly-promoted side defying the odds while playing on the break under a tactically-flexible manager, the Whites could be forgiven for thinking they're coming up against themselves from 2022-23.Sam and Kish are joined by Sunderland fan and journalist Ethan Todd to break down our battle with the Black Cats and to work out if either side can expect their fortunes to change as the Premier League heads into its busiest phase of the season.
