Aaron Hughes<\/a> has sent out a warning ahead of the team’s first match of the season, telling them not to underestimate their opponents from the Faroe Islands.<\/p>\nThe Cottagers take on NSI Runavik in the first leg of a qualifier to get into the Europa League, a match which they are heavy favourites to win.<\/p>\n
But Hughes, drawing on his own experience, is refusing to take victory for granted.<\/p>\n
He was part of the Northern Ireland side that could only draw 1-1 in the Faroe Islands last year in Euro 2012 qualifying and wants to make sure there are no further slip ups.<\/p>\n
“Our draw with the Faroes was proof that things like that can happen. You can’t just rock up and expect to win 4-0,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n
“If we don’t prepare properly, silly things can happen.”<\/p>\n
Fulham made the final of the competition in 2010 and were narrowly beaten by Atletico Madrid having knocked out big European clubs such as Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk.<\/p>\n
Their match against Runavik comes only week after the players started pre-season training, and Hughes admits the squad knows little about their opponents.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know a great deal about them,\u201d said Hughes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve not had a chance to look at them too much this week because it has more been about preparation on the football pitch and a little bit of top-up on the fitness.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess in the meeting before the game anything that the lads inside have found they will highlight and give us an idea before we go out.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is as much about focussing about what we do and making sure we do all the basic things right, which should be enough to take us through.\u201d<\/p>\n
