The players made their point with that first run of defeats but nobody in the boardroom was willing to admit they were wrong, or pay yet another set of coaches off so early into their contract. Injured players have been known to miraculously recover when a change is made in he coaching department but I'm having a heard time believing we've a bunch of shirkers willing to go under the knife.

Elsewhere, as I was last night, Smith Rowe wasn't in the Fulham squad after getting a knock on Saturday, so I didn't get to see his silky skills. Two killer passes that actually worked resulted in a 1st minute goal in each half for Fuham, otherwise two sides that couldn't string 4 passes together unless they went sideways or backwards. Sound familiar? Likely played at twice the speed of our game but despite probably earning 10x the wages (and change) there wasn't 10x the entertainment on show. That said, either of them would have done severe damage to ponderous League One sides.
