Fulham have been drawn against Division One strugglers Walsall in the 5th round
of the F.A. Cup. It follows victories over lower league opposition Wycombe Wanderers
and York in previous rounds.
Of course if a home draw is not available then lower league opposition is the
next best option. Certainly on form we should be able to beat Walsall who, despite their
defeat of Charlton at the Valley in the last round, have just 7 victories out
of 30 games so far this season. Historically we have lost just 3 times in 15 visits
to Walsall.
Walsall's new Manager Colin Lee believes that he can use the Fulham game as
part of his team motivation for the rest of the season. He said "We have
very important league games coming up and I am sure every player will want to
play against Fulham, so they will have to perform to earn their shirts." Best of luck Colin.
Come on you Whites the quarter-finals are beckoning.
