Brian Laws believes Burnley's trip to Fulham is the perfect opportunity for them to bring their long wait for an away win in the Barclays Premier League to an end.The Clarets beat West Ham 2-1 on Saturday in a typically dynamic performance at Turf Moor to give Laws his first win since being appointed manager last month.Laws is eager to see his players sustain the momentum and, with Fulham having won only once in eight league games, he feels Craven Cottage could be the ideal place for the Clarets to finally overcome their travel sickness."We haven't won away all season so that is our objective, to change that mentality, and there is no better one (for that) than against Fulham," Laws said."They are not playing as well as they would like, I know that and I know (Fulham boss) Roy Hodgson would say the same thing."We've got to go into this with confidence. All the pressure will be on them, not on us, and those kinds of elements do even themselves out. That's the kind of encouragement I'll be giving to the players."
