Fulham got back to winning ways at the weekend, as a late goal from Northern Ireland's Chris Baird put an end to stubborn Aston Villa resistance, with the match finishing 1-0. Martin Jol will be relieved to have picked up the three points after the wobble at St Mary's two weeks ago, and this victory certainly goes some way to maintaining Fulham's top half of the table credentials.
Fulham travel to Reading next Saturday afternoon in search of their second away win of the season, but they will be wary of the threat Reading pose, as the Royals search for their first league victory of the season. That clash is then followed by the visit of Everton to Craven Cottage, as Fulham advance into November seeking their fourth home victory from five matches, with just a narrow 2-1 defeat to Manchester City upsetting their perfect home form.
Cottagers Confidential lead with that 1-0 victory against Aston Villa, in which Fulham's continued resolve was eventually rewarded by the one and only "Bairdinho", and there's news of another big transfer in the January window, this time with Arshavin linked to the club.
Craven Cottage Newsround have a look back at the Aston Villa victory, there's a detailed look at the age of Fulham's squad and whether it's an issue for the club or not, and there's a great reflective piece on Ray Lewington who recently left Fulham having been involved in every possible way at the club from his playing days in the early 1980s, management in the late 1980s, and various coaching roles most recently.
Hammy End have all the player ratings from that frustrating, but eventually rewarding afternoon at Craven Cottage against the Villans, the Sky Sports post-match interview with match winner Baird is shared for all to enjoy, and there's some good news on the injury front as Frei, Petric, Berbatov and Dejagah all returned to fitness.
Finally a big shoutout to Fulham's Finest who sit tenth in our Top Blogs Ranking this month as the best of our Fulham Top Blogs!
