I live with certain amount of pain everyday but it’s been much worse this week. If it sounds like I’m making an excuse, well, I am. But I do apologize. You can stop sending those email complaints now.
Fulham will travel to Wigan tomorrow and will look to sweep “The Latics” on the season. Back in October, Clint Dempsey recorded a double in Fulham’s 2-0 win at Craven Cottage. That match with Wigan was also significant because our downward spiral would begin a week later and we would go win less until we beat Stoke on the road at the end of December.
Plenty of pundits are calling tomorrow’s match a “relegation six pointer” but I still refuse to buy into that on January 14th. It is however a very important match in order to keep our current positive form, as we have won 3 out of 4 in all competitions.
Newcomer Steve Sidwell will be available, but don’t expect him to start. Moussa Dembele & Andy Johnson are also available for selection and may see some time in the second half. As far as a starting XI goes, I see:
GK: Stockdale
Def: Pantsil, Hangeland, Hughes, Baird
Mid: Duff, Murphy, Etuhu, Davies
For: Dempsey, Kamara
Take a picture of that starting XI as I predict you’ll see some new names in the starting line up when we welcome The Potters to Craven Cottage in a week. With that in mind, I’m expecting Duff, Etuhu & Kamara to be playing for their jobs this week, which I hope leads to something positive.
Roberto Martinez will be without a few key players, so I’m hoping we can take advantage of that. Fulham hold a 15-12-10 advantage over Wigan in all competitions over the years and tomorrow, I predict we’ll record our 16th all time victory. The boys are playing well and even though we’re on the road, I see no reason for that to change. This is another example of Fulham needing to win matches they are suppose to win. In my world, failure is not an option.
Prediction: Wigan 0-1 Fulham
*Edited Note: Thanks to commenter “Rosie” for correcting me. Fulham did lose to Spurs on the road after defeating Stoke. I’ve made the corrections (I believe, I didn’t search the post real hard).

Jason Gatties | January 14th, 2011 at 8:05 am You’re right, I stand corrected.
