Fulham Head Coach Scott Parker has got his Fulham side ready for a different kind of battle against Gary Rowett’s Millwall on Wednesday night.
The Den turf was really cutting up in their defeat by West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, which will certainly be an obstacle for any side who like to play football on the deck.
“It’s a totally different game to what we’ve probably been used to over the last few weeks,” Parker said. “It’s a London derby, a very difficult place to go, a hostile place.
“Gary’s done a fantastic job there. I watched their game against West Brom and the conditions there, in the sense of what the pitch went through, I’m sure that’s going to come into play as well.
“It’s going to be a very, very tough game for us. They’ve won a few games over the last few months, but we’ll be ready for it and we’ll have prepared as best we can.”
There has been one new face in the treatment room this week, after Terence Kongolo picked up a knock after coming off the bench at Ewood Park.
“Terence Kongolo’s struggling a little bit,” Parker revealed. “He’s got a bit of a foot problem at the moment, that he received literally the first kick when he came on against Blackburn.
“Other than that, it’s the other injuries we’ve had that are still there.”
