The suffering continues down by the Thames as more ground is lost after another fruitless and frustrating performance from Fulham - just four points taken from the last 21.

I tend not to post soon after matches. There's little point in writing a match report when you can access on-line the efforts of every scribe present. Blogs are for that additional passion and invective the traditional newshound does not deal in. I am therefore opening this thread now as a conduit for those twitching to unload their feelings on our current position.

What really goes on behind closed doors during the week is something all professional clubs go to extreme lengths to keep quiet. While you may cultivate players as a journo, betray a confidence - especially something that can be traced back to a specific source - and you'll be frozen out in a blink. Therefore we fans sift the clues for the truth through a series of chinese whispers and those who have 'mates working at the club.'

But when managers go in front of the media we of course have a record of their thoughts. Our current manager has yet to admit he's concerned by our drop in form, blames our lack of results on player injuries, but taking the biscuit was this quote in today's 'Daily Express.'

“We will always create chances – that’s a given with this group of players. But it’s about taking them. “We have goals in this side but it’s about making sure we convert them when they present themselves".

In fact, in the first 45 today, which had plenty of endeavour but absolutely no craft or flair, the team did not create one genuine chance inside the box. We saw a speculative lob from Dempsey early on and a feeble bobble at the keeper from Salcido - both from range.

We stepped it up in the 2nd half against a patched up Sunderland. Frenetic as it was, how often was their second string keeper seriously tested? Once, in a scramble from a corner. We saw more goal threat against Juventus on one night than we've seen in a month of sterile football,

Did you hear what was being sung from the seats Mr Hughes? I rest my case. Make no mistake, this is now a relegation team. And I see no evidence of any tactical strategy to change what's wrong. How Eric Nevland would have come in useful in the past few weeks...

Fulham fans, it's your turn. There's only one thing that scares me more than our league position. An out of work Ray Wilkins watching from the stands today...dear God, please no!
