I love a Fulham away day and woke up on Saturday full of excitement and anticipation that we could extend our winning run of games at Craven Cottage to six.
It was an early start, with a train from Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington, spending some quality time with friends Neil Barnes and his daughters Charlotte and Sarah and then it was a short tube journey to Putney Bridge, some lunch and a few drinks before a 10-minute walk to Craven Cottage.
Nigel Pearson sprung somewhat of a surprise in selecting Jay Dasilva as a right wing-back after his cameo role last weekend in the FA Cup defeat to the same opponents and he also opted to start Zak Vyner in the centre of the back three, deciding against playing Rob Atkinson, who I thought looked somewhere near to his best last week.
