Parker pleased to return to winning ways

Fulham manager Scott Parker admitted to a sense of relief after the Whites ended a five-match winless run by beating Wigan Athletic at Craven Cottage last night.

His side had to be patient, waiting until after half-time for the breakthrough against the Latics despite dominating the contest. Two fine strikes from Joe Bryan and skipper Tom Cairney sealed the victory and Parker feels that the result was crucial In getting Fulham back on track.

I think everyone was relieved. I was relieved on the side, along with the coaches. Certainly the players, and I think the fans were as well. I think over the last few weeks the results haven't been there, but performances certainly have. We have probably played better over the course of the last few weeks and not got the results.

I think the result was key tonight obviously, and the second goal going in probably just took that edginess off us. And I understand that. We have been wounded over the last few weeks and when you have sucker punches like we have over the last few weeks it has an effect. And certainly it has had an effect on the players and it probably had an effect on the crowd at times. But the players were superb tonight and it's a good result.

Every team that has come here has set their stall out and been very resilient in their work and been difficult to break down. We have worked all week on moving the ball and trying to get more balls into the box and keeping the tempo high. I felt we did that well tonight, against a good side.

In the last few weeks, we have gone 1-0 up and probably sat off it a little bit and given the team a bit more impetus to come at us and we have paid the price for that.

Fulham fans will love Anthony Knockaert's latest message following win over Wigan



Fulham earned a much-needed three points as they comfortably saw off Wigan Athletic by two goals to nil at Craven Cottage on Friday evening.

Goals from Joe Bryan and a stunning strike from distance by Tom Cairney saw the Cottagers end their poor run of form heading into the game.

They had previously not won in their last five matches in all competitions, but Scott Parker has every reason to be pleased with his side's performance on the night.

Fulham's Anthony Knockaert took to Instagram following the win, and praised the club's supporters for their support in the win over the Latics.

Knockaert has started his time with Fulham positively, and already has two goals and an assist to his name for the Cottagers, who will be keen to make an immediate return back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Scott Parker's side will have to deal with the weight of expectation, as they were one of the pre-season favourites to win promotion.

They are next in action in midweek when they travel to the Madejski Stadium to take on Reading, who are struggling to find some form at the early stages of this year's campaign.

The Verdict:

He's going to be a crucial player for the Cottagers this season.

I would even go as far as saying that Fulham have got the best attacking options available to them in the Championship this term, and Parker's side have a real chance of making a swift return to the Premier League.

If they can find some consistency in their results, then supporters have every reason to believe that they'll win promotion.
