So we travel up to Middlesbrough for our weekend game.
Following on from his hat-trick against Luton Mitro is currently the leagues top scorer, he really is on fire! Middlesborough could only manage a draw against Huddersfield and I’m sure they’ll be looking to get a result at home.

So for another mid-week game at the Cottage we welcome the “Hatters” Luton Town.
Well the game against Stoke didn’t go as we’d planned, I guess the unbeaten run had to end sometime and it’s probably no surprise that we lost to the bottom team, how Fulhamish! One of our American friends HatterDon will have been looking forward to this game, he’s got a soft spot for Luton, and probably whatever the result he’ll enjoy the game.
We really need a result from this game if we want to stay in touch with the teams at the top of the table. Luton will be a tricky one, they beat Bristol City who were on a 10 match unbeaten run, at the weekend and will be full of confidence, especially if they look at our 1st half performance against Stoke, we can’t play that badly again, can we?

So after the international break we travel to Stoke for a 3 o’clock Saturday kick-off.
Well Mitro’s certainly enjoying his football both on international duty, he’s now sixth in Serbia’s all time goal scorers he’s currently scored 31, and domestic, so far 8 goals this season, how lucky are we to have him? We’re coming off a six game unbeaten run, although the 2 draws somehow felt like losses. Meanwhile, Stoke have had a poor start to the season, so far only drawing 3 however they beat Swansea, at Swansea!, last time out, so they’ll be full of confidence and looking to get one over on us. Our record against Stoke is remarkably even, in the last 15 games we’ve won 7, Stoke have won 7 and we’ve drawn 1 game, hopefully we can add to the win number this weekend.

Another derby game, this time we welcome Charlton to the Cottage
Yet another early Saturday kick off, 12:30, is it me or do we hardly ever kick off at 3 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon anymore?
Charlton have had a good start to the season, beating Leeds last weekend and narrow loss against Swansea, should show that they’ve become a very competent side who will be full of confidence and looking for a derby victory. Having said that our unbeaten run continues, two consecutive wins home and away, and it looks as if Mitro’s back on fire he could have had a hat-trick against Reading, Tom is showing why he’s the best midfielder in this division.

We make the sort trip along the M4 Tuesday evening to the Madejski Stadium to take on Reading.
So after Friday’s game, that was better wasn’t it, we travel to Reading who are having a troubling start to the season however they had a very good result away at Swansea.
So this should be an interesting game with both teams full of confidence and looking to improve their current league position.

We’ve yet another Friday evening game, this time we welcome Wigan to the Cottage.
Well after another last gasp equaliser, they do feel like loses rather than draws, I’m hoping for a better result this time.
I know that it’s still “early days” but we really do need to start winning games if we want to be serious contenders for promotion. Fingers crossed Friday evening will be the first of many.

We travel to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday this Saturday for a 15:00 kickoff.
So after last weekend’s dropped 2 points Scott’s boys will be trying to get back to winning ways on the road. Harry Arter will have completed his ban however Harrison Reed’s man of the match performance will give Parker food for thought.
Wednesday are currently 2 places and 1 point above us, should be a good game.

After the ‘international break’ we welcome West Brom to the Cottage for an ‘early’ 12:30 kick-off.
So after 6 league games we’ve won 3, lost 2 and drawn 1, West Brom have won 3 and drawn 3, they are one of only three teams not to have lost a game so far this season. Fulham have a +5 goal difference whilst West Brom have +3, “on paper” this should be a very tight game.
It looks as if Gareth Barry won’t be fit, which will be good for us, however we’ll not have Harry Arter, good for them, due to suspension so both teams will have a ‘key’ player missing. With Mitro getting 3 goals in the 2 international games he’s back on fire, Stef Jo’ got a goal for Noway and Steven Sessegnon had really good outings for the England U21s.
West Brom, on paper, are the toughest team we’ve had to face this so far season, it should be a good game.

Another Friday evening away trip, this time we travel down to Cardiff.
So after a couple of defeats, at home to Forest and the League Cup game in the week against Southampton its time to try and get back to winning ways in the league against Cardiff City. We didn’t play badly in either of the games against Forest and Southampton, however we didn’t deserve to win either, perhaps a hangover from the Millwall game?
Neil Warnock is always a difficult manager to play against and unfortunately we don’t have Ryan, who always liked to score against them, but perhaps his brother, Steven Sessegnon, can carry on the family tradition? wouldn’t that be nice.

Back at the Cottage for a 3 o’clock kick-off, this time we welcome Nottingham Forest.
So after Wednesday evenings derby we get to play at a more traditional kick-off time against a Forest team who gained a draw on their travels to Charlton mid-week. The performance of our front three of Mitro, Cavalerio and Knockaert showed why most Championship teams will not be looking forward to a trip to the Cottage.
Forest had good results over the previous 3 games, beating Birmingham City 3-0 and drawing two away games against Leeds and Charlton, so they’ll be full of confidence.
