    Tomorrow evening's game sees us travel to Craven Cottage and endeavour to end a hoodoo going back 30 years, and who can forget that dismal day in May 2005 when we were thrashed 6-0.

    Howson is still doubtful, but Brady is back in contention, so that should mean Pritchard will hopefully be in the starting 11 again. I'd quite like to see Josh start instead of Jacob, as he was definitely off the pace on Saturday and I wonder if we may see Wes on the bench to give him a bit of respite??.

    I'm not a great believer in 'hoodoos' or jinxes. Not winning since 1986 seems horrible, but in those 30 years we've only played them away 7 times in the league and twice in cup matches. For most of those, they were well above us in the table and therefore favorites at home. The last 2 matches ended 1-0 and that was against the run of play, if I recall correctly.

    Fulham have struggled at home this season with only 5 points from 6 matches, mainly because they are vulnerable to counter-attacks when caught pressing forward. Our present squad is well suited to soaking up pressure and then counter-attacking with pace. Klose makes the difference in defense as our both our losses this season have come when he wasn't playing. I'm reasonably optimistic if we can play like we have been.

    I've had the misfortune of seeing enough bad results at Fulham. Each time I decide I'll give the next time a miss. I've succumbed, I have my ticket and this time I'm a little more optimistic of a positive result. COYY.

    The very same Braveheart! He has 1 goal in 7 games so far and none at the Cottage. I wonder if Derby regret letting him go on loan, given that Fulham are above them in the table.

    I didn't even know he was at Fulham until last week, goes to show how much I pay attention to other teams. But I thought Chris Martin was Derby top striker, seem odd to loan him out and to a Championship side as well.

    He really flourished there under Mclaren during his previous stint, but wasn't so favoured once Mclaren was sacked. You'd think if they could recall him they would have done, so that's a bit awkward for Mclaren!

    Surprised and disappointed Pritchard isn't in the starting 11
