Fair play to Fulham.
I thought I'd seen everything in football but I never expected that yesterday - we were coasting at half-time when we were 2-0 up. I honestly thought in that first half Fulham looked like a team that had already accepted their fate. But then we somehow decided to take our foot off the gas, Fulham got one back and it was a totally different game. By the time the second went in I was seriously starting to worry that we would lose and so it proved. Kamara (who has been a thorn in our side in the past when he played for West Brom) changed the game completely when he came on and our makeshift defence simply couldn't deal with him.
Can't take anything away from Fulham at all but those last 20 minutes were thoroughly unprofessional and it's even more galling to have just learnt that Portsmouth have lost at home to Blackburn as a win yesterday would now see us 7th and still in with an outside chance of a European spot.
