Summary

Sammy James is joined by Elizabeth Barnard, both Molineux attendees, as they digest a bounce-back victory against Wolves. Tuesday night brought five changes to the starting line-up from Marco Silva, surprising and unnerving many Fulham fans. This gamble paid off after two goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Muniz.

There were tears in many's eyes as Sess opened the scoring within the first minute, rolling back the years to his first stint at the club. Fulham recovered from Wolves' equaliser, stinging the home side with another early goal in the second-half from a lovely Muniz fish and chip finish. Sammy and Elizabeth discuss Marco's tactical changes and how the result provided the perfect reaction to an uncomfortable loss to Crystal Palace at the weekend. They debate whether fans were too quick to judge a poor weekend performance with the other evening's results suggesting that Fulham remain in the mix for European contention.

In part two, they look forward to a looming Manchester United fixture in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Can Fulham avoid another painful 1-0 defeat and put emotional memories of previous FA Cup visits to Old Trafford aside to overcome Amorim's poor team. They answer some of your listener questions including some recent tasty Fulham statistics and why Leno has lost the vice-captain's armband.
