Fulham U23 - Sunderland U23

Any match we have against a team from Everton in 6th to Wolves in 11th is a six pointer now, that's how tightly packed the bottom of the table is currently. And it wouldn't take much for Liverpool and Aston Villa to be dragged into the muck either, only Newcastle are well clear of it all. For us, we come into this game off a win against Bournemouth last time out. A poor game to watch but a win somehow and ugly winning will do at this point. I am still unsure what my best U23 team shape or game plan is but we will keep trying things week to week and it's not just about the onfield performance, it's about what players we produce for senior football too. Have to hold onto that long term view when the results aren't falling our way as much as I want to win every match I play in.
