Just a quick reminder, that this Friday’s game away to Norwich City, will be marked as the 20 year anniversary, since Matthew Fox tragically lost his life away to Gillingham, he was 24.
For some, they lost a son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, a nephew and a friend, but, they also lost a dedicated and passionate FFC fan. No one should ever go to football and not come home.
To celebrate his life, a Gofund me page was set up to raise money for a flag, to mark the occasion. The original target was around £850.00, however, to date, there has been £2,125.00 raised, with the rest going to Breast Cancer.
This has been an absolute amazing response from everyone, and, the family would like to say a big thank you to those who have donated.
Before the Norwich game, they have invited everyone to join them in the Prince of Wales pub, Prince of Wales Road, where they will be remembering his life.
During the game, a round of applause will be held on the 20th minute, and we’d like everyone to join if, if they can.
With the “International Break” over Easter weekend sees Fulham travel to Norwich on Good Friday.
Will the “rest” have done the lads some good? even with a poor showing for the 2nd half of the QPR game we still managed to climb a place and currently sit 3rd. We’re still on a fantastic run, a club record of 16 league games unbeaten however, Cardiff still have a game in-hand and are 7 points in front of us but if we continue unbeaten we’ll really put the pressure on them.
After beating teams above us in the last two games, we’ve now got ourselves into 4th place
Next we’ve a mid-week home game against Sheffield Utd who, until recently have spent most of the season in the top six. We’ve now won 10 games of the last 13 so while this could be another tricky game for Slaviša and the lads, what odds would you get on Mitrović and Sess scoring again?
This weekends game see the whites travel to Derby County for another “top of table six pointer”
Following on from last weekends fantastic performance by the lads a win will see us leapfrog Derby into 4th place. Unfortunately(?) old favourite Chris Baird will be unavailable, due to suspension, for Derby. Still this will be another tricky game, which ones aren’t? and our recent record against the Rams isn’t too good, we’ve not beaten them in the last five games between us loosing twice and drawing three times, however if Slaviša can get the team to maintain the incredible levels of concentration, performance and get his tactics across then both Aston Villa and Cardiff will know that they’ve a real struggle to stay ahead Fulham FC, roll on Saturday afternoon.
Sheffield United have forced their way back into the top six with their impressive 1-3 midweek away win at Reading, which means that Bristol City drop out of play-off places.
other games of interest this weekend include the Friday night clash between Middlesbrough and Leeds…
This weekend top of the table Wolves visit Craven Cottage
This game will be a tough test for Slaviša and the lads however if we play like we did the last home game against Aston Villa I believe that Fulham will have enough to beat Wolves although I’d take a point for a draw if offered.
If you can’t make it to the game you’ll be able to watch it on Sky TV (17:30 kick-off)
other Championship games of interest this weekend include…
After an impressive run of 11 unbeaten games Fulham have given themselves a real chance of automatic promotion, it won’t be easy and I’m sure we’ll face some setbacks however there’s a real “belief” among Fulham fans.

I’m sure that the teams currently just outside the top six, Shelf Utd, Middlesbrough, Preston & Brentford will have a say in how the season ends the games where the top six play each other will be interesting to watch.
It should be an interesting run in with, at a minimum, a play-off place
