Fulham created another record during their easy 3-1 victory over Bury, once a Fulham bogy team and slayer of Bolton in the last round, when they fielded 11 players from 11 different countries, 10 of whom were internationals with the other an ex-U21 International.
Andrejs Stolcers showed why he was considered woth buying and was the most potent striker on the park.
The Worthington Cup has not figured high in Fulham's list of priorities in the past and dispite Wednesday's victory this is unlikely to change.
Many other Premiership clubs
did not fare as well as the Cottagers with Birmingham, Arsenal, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Southampton, Tottenham and West Ham. Fans at West Ham and Leeds were calling for the sack of their managers after the defeats both at the hands of Nationwide clubs.
The draw for Round 4 will take place live during Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday on Nov. 9th between 14.00 and 14.30.
A nice home draw against Oldham or Rotherham would be well received.
The Cottagers are now quoted between 6/1, at tight wads Corals, and 10/1 at
Blue Square to win the Cup with some 6 other clubs seen to have a better chance.
