Fulham FC-The Cunning Cottagers!

Fowler's Diary - Expectations

Another month gone, another diary update. This time I want to talk to you all about Fulham's expectations for the season.

At the moment we are doing quite well in 7th place,but we want to do better than this and aim for Champions League qualification.

This might seem a little crazy considering we don't have the great squad the Chelsea have or the mega rich chairman like Manchester City.

But I think if everyone sticks together and we can keep playing like we are then I definitely think we can be challenging for a top 4 spot.

We have a good enough squad to do it, and some really good youngsters coming through the youth system that we can do it for a long time to come.

I guess we will see at the end of the season!

November Review

Game 1

Fulham 5-1 Southampton Attendance:25,700
Scorers: Parker (X1) Boateng (X1) Riise (X1)
Dejagah (X1) Amorebieta (X1)
Scott Parker
We controlled this match from start to finish. I was very happy with the way we played in this match and Southampton never looked liked getting points from us. It was a real positive performance and we also had some nice goals scored too. As you know Scott Parker got Man of The Match but in truth, it could have been any of them!

Game 2

Arsenal 1-5 Fulham Attendance:60,338
Scorers: Bent (X3) Berbatov (X2)
Darren Bent
To be honest I was quite surprised that we actually won the game. Even though we controlled the game possession wise Arsenal had taken more shots than us and the truth is the only reason we came away with a victory was because we was more clinical than Arsenal. Don't get me wrong I thought we played some brilliant football at times but I don't think the scoreline reflects the true outcome of the match.We let Arsenal in at the back to many times and we should have been punished but fortunately for us Arsenal had terrible shooting on the day. Overall though I am happy with the win and it was a valuable three points gained.

Game 3

Manchester City 0-3 Fulham Attendance:47,141
Scorers: Bent (X3)
Darren Bent
This is similar to the Arsenal game where we controlled the game possession wise just Manchester City didn't take thier chances and Joe Hart had an absolute shocking game (just like in real life.) This is a brilliant because nobody gave us a chance in this game and thought we were going to be battered 4 or 5 nil, but the lads didn't think that and came away with an impressive three points. This extended our winning run to six games in all competitions which is terrific I just hope we can continue the good run against Chelsea and move into 3rd place in the league.

Game 4

Fulham 3-2 Chelsea Attendance:25,700
Scorers: Bent (X3)
Darren Bent
Well even the scoreline suggests that we scraped a win I think the margin of victory should have been a lot bigger. We dominated Chelsea from start to finish we had more possession and 3x more shots we didn't have the cutting edge to score more and be out of sight a lot sooner. I am very happy with the victory which moved us up to 3rd in the league which is amazing for a team like Fulham. People were expecting us to be around mid-table so to be challenging for a 1st place and Champions League qualification is astonishing. It was another three points gained and this win extended our winning run to seven games which makes me even more happy. Hopefully we can win again against Aston Villa and start to create a gap between us and 4th place.

Fowler's View

Another fantastic month for the club. We played some nice football in parts over the past four games. We have got some nice youth players coming through which I might be giving some game time too. As you have seen we have reached the dizzy heights of 3rd place in the league. I am hoping we can maintain this -which is definitely possible they way we are playing at the moment. But apart from that I will see you all next month COME ON YOU COTTAGERS!!!
