VIEW FROM THE STANDS

The big talking point among the fans is how we can do things differently in the Premier League.

This season will be different to last because Fulham are back in the big time! From a promotion fight to a survival scrap – now we’ll see the mettle of this squad. Our most underrated player is Josh Onomah, a brilliant ball- carrier and a changed man under Parker.

Look out for Steven Sessegnon, twin brother of Ryan. He has been part of the squad for two years now. His breakthrough feels imminent.

The one change I’d make would be unearthing a few more gems from smart scouting methods, rather than splashing the cash.

Save the date for Aston Villa. There’s still a fair bit of acrimony from the 2018 play- off final, the whole ‘ doing a Fulham’ thing and John Terry in the dugout. And it’ll probably be a relegation six- pointer. The best Fulham social media account is @ Fulhamishpod.

Did you know that the last 0- 0 league draw at Craven Cottage was on August 13, 2011, against Villa.

The fans’ opinion of the gaffer is that he’s improving every week. Last season, Scotty took the reins and although he made mistakes, he has learned from them in a big way. His game management in the play- offs was sensational. If he left, he should be replaced

by Vincenzo Montella. I hope it doesn’t come to it, and that we’re not as trigger- happy as last time, but Montella is loved round these parts and he would be a good future coach at the Cottage.

We’ll finish 16th. But it’ll be tight.
