Fulham USA to have all Americans available on Tuesday @ Bolton

[bedir than average]

Keller played a full 90 on the reserve squad. McBride (Cpt) is healthy for return and Eddie Johnson has made the trip across the Atlantic already. The match v Bolton could have 5 Americans on the pitch in this relegation battle.

6 of Fulham's last 15 EPL matches are against other clubs in danger of relegation.

Fulham USA will be looking for its first away win in the Bolton match

That's good news for Fulham, but Bolton are treating this one as the most important match of their season to date, so it won't be an easy one .

Sadly, Megson has yet to sign a striker, but with Steinsson, Taylor and possibly Cahill available, the defensive aspects should be covered. Now if only Megson would learn to use Ricky Vaz Te more...

Disappointing really. Only Dempsey started, Bocanerga came in in the 84th minute. None of the rest were on the gameday roster.

The Nil-nil tie helps Bolton.

And the fool running Fulham USA went with 5-4-1

The point does very little for Bolton (though it helps with the relegation fight, sure), and I'm somewhat appalled that a team can dominate a game the way Bolton did (not saying Fulham didn't have their moments, but honestly...) and NOT put away their opponents. Lubomir Michalek had 3 separate chances in the 2nd half to put the game away, two of which were near empty-net chances. He's not a striker, and we got a defenders finish.

I'm still not seeing the logic in playing the sole striker route for Fulham. Defensive football is one thing, but there is such a thing as going in the opposite direction. Dempsey can't do it all, and it was obvious that his mates weren't giving him any runs or playing for him. Just throw it forward and watch him work. That's not going to do much for their relegation hopes, so maybe one of these days the 4-4-2 will make a comeback for them

At the end of the day, though, did we really expect much more than split points?

I fully expected a Fulham loss. Honestly I only follow them because they have McBride and Keller; I blame the place on the table due to those two's injuries.

Dempsey can't be a sole forward. That kind of striker is very rare and don't come out of America.
