Wolves v Fulham: Inside track on The Cottagers

We spoke with Russell Goldman from Cottage Talk. to get a better look at Scott Parker's side.

See what he had to say here:

1. How have Fulham started the season, it doesn't seem to have gone too well so far?

It has gone very poorly, and I should have seen it coming because of the quick turn around for the players, along with trying to upgrade the team with new players. It has been an embarrassing start to the season, but it is far from over, regardless of what the experts say in regards to relegation. If the right additions come to the club on defence and up top Fulham can survive.

2. What sort of transfer business has been done at the club, and what have you made of that business?

The additions on paper should be upgrades. Kenny Tete and Antonee Robinson could be our starting full backs at some point and both would be upgrades.

We also brought in a goalkeeper along with a CM. On Wednesday Fulham added winger Ademola Lookman who could be a wonderful addition.

The issue has been finding two centre-backs and a striker up front that could be an alternative to Aleksandar Mitrovic or potentially play with him.

Until those positions are added Fulham will be incomplete and will go down.

Fulham have been frugal with their business as they have made shrewd business deals with players either on low transfer numbers or coming on loan. I have no issue with the business. They just need to fill their holes.

3. What kind of football can we expect from Fulham this weekend?

I think you will see defence first and they should be very conservative when they have possession. Right now it is about solidifying the defence so I do not expect Fulham to take it to Wolves.

4. Obviously the Villa result has got plenty of fans thinking Fulham are going to be in plenty of trouble this season. What are the expectations around the fan base for the Cottagers?

The expectations are simply survival and confidence is very low at this point. I think if they get the right additions they can survive, but that is a huge question right now.

5. Are there any injury worries heading into this game?

Right now I am hearing the players dealing with an injury are Harrison Reed and Mario Lemina.

6. What's your predicted XI for the game?

Areola, Odoi, Hector, Ream, Bryan, Anguissa, Cairney, Onomah, Decordova-Reid, Kamara, Mitrovic

7. What have you made of Wolves from afar, do you think they have what it takes to build on their previous campaigns in the Premier League?

I have been impressed with Wolves since they returned to the Premier League and I do expect them to be in the top ten. They have the coach, the players and the ambition to go very far.

8. Your match prediction?

3-1 to Wolves as I cannot see Fulham not conceding less than three and also scoring more than one goal.
