Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce admits he gaffed in his team selection for their defeat to Manchester City.
"I messed up. I played too many players who weren't match fit or were only half-fit," he said. "Mido was only half-fit, Brown had been sick before the game and wasn't right, and Valencia had only two or three training sessions.
"I put Hugo Rodallega in from the start and then Ben Watson came on after only 19 minutes, yet both hadn't started for six or seven weeks.
"With hindsight I wouldn't have picked the team I did. The one thing you can't do in the Premier League is play lads who are below their best.
"It doesn't do them or the team any good. Thankfully the back four were terrific and got us a point out of the game, we got away with it to that extent.
"But it was a bad day at the office. We didn't play well at all. In the two games against Fulham this season, they've given us more problems than any side have done.
"I thought they were excellent, so in many ways I'm pleased we got a draw and we're a point nearer to where we want to be."
