Fulham Manager Chris Coleman fears he could again be in trouble with the Football Association after accusing the officials of playing a part in his side's downfall in the 1-0 defeat by Wigan.

Coleman has been in hot water before, and following this defeat at the JJB Stadium, was angry and frustrated at referee Andre Marriner and his assistant.

Virtually every key decision during the first half seemed to go against Fulham, notably when goalkeeper John Filan handled outside the area, as did Wigan's skipper Arjan de Zeeuw inside the penalty box.

Add to that a de Zeeuw foul on Collins John on the edge of the box and a booking for Moritz Volz for diving when it was clear he was challenged by Alan Mahon, and Coleman's frustration was understandable.

His mood was not enhanced by the fact his side had missed two gilt-edged chances in the opening five minutes, and then conceded a winner to Pascal Chimbonda in the second minute of injury time.

"I hope he (Marriner) can sleep tonight because I won't be able to," stated Coleman.

"You can't keep getting major decisions wrong, with these all within the opening 45 minutes.

"I know it's hard for him, and everybody gets one wrong, but three or four wrong?

"I had to change my team talk at half-time. Rather than saying to the players 'well done, keep going, you are doing well', I had to try and calm them down because they were going nuts.

"He has booked Moritz for a dive when it was a blatant free-kick on the edge of their box, while Collins was also denied a blatant free-kick on the edge again.

"There was also a handball in their box, and then one outside the box, although whether they were deliberate I don't know.

"But some of the referee's decisions - and it wasn't just him, it was his assistant at the side too - have contributed to us coming away with nothing from this game."

When asked whether he had spoken to Marriner, Coleman replied: "What's the point? Nothing ever gets done.

"I got in trouble once or twice last season for maybe saying the wrong thing, and maybe I am saying the wrong thing now and I will get into trouble again."

The Latics could easily have been two goals down inside the opening five minutes, only for Tomasz Radzinski and Steed Malbranque to miss clear opportunities.

"We didn't play well, and we were fortunate because they could have been out of sight in the first 15 minutes," said Jewell.

"We rode our luck and they will feel aggrieved because when you have so many chances like they did then you have to take them, but they didn't.

"No doubt there will be some moaning about the ref, but it's happening every week.

"Whenever we play, the referee is always biased towards Wigan - and it's great!

"But rather than going on about those incidents, they will be kicking themselves at missing three glorious chances and they have been made to pay for it."

It is now a remarkable seven straight wins for Wigan in all competitions, while in the Premiership they have taken an astonishing 22 from the last 24 on offer to give them the best start to a top-flight season by a newly-promoted club since Nottingham Forrest 11 years ago.

Somewhat stupidly, Jewell was barracked by a supporter during the first period when Wigan were struggling, and he responded with a mouthful in return.

"I lost my temper with one or two people," confirmed Jewell.

"I turned round and had a go at one of them. I think one or two need a reality check.

"How come Wigan can't beat Fulham? It's a disgrace isn't it? But let's have it right because this is the Premiership we are playing in at the end of the day."

There was also an incident at the end of the first half when skipper de Zeeuw and Jimmy Bullard were seen exchanging words and shoving one and other as they headed off down the tunnel.

But Jewell dismissed their antics as "passions running high".

He added: "I don't mind that. That shows they care.

"Just as long as it does not fester or simmer, and it hasn't, then it is OK - and there's nothing like a victory for putting something like that to bed."
