Fulham mugged by Manure

So rather than as James had hoped Premiership Match Day 8 ended with all but West Brom and Everton above Fulham in the Premiership table.

Fulham played their part in a showcase of attacking and entertaining football alongside Man Utd with the Cottagers opening the goal list in the second minute of the game, through Collins John. Unfortunately Fulham's defence was as porous as ever and the Thamesiders went down 3-2 in the end, albeit as is often the case with United by disputed goals, one was clearly offside and another a penalty decision that if followed up in other games will mean a huge increase in penalty awards.

Manager Coleman has an increasingly difficult and dangerous situation to wriggle out of after his squad winning one and drawing two from their first eight games, their worst ever start to a Premiership season. With their next two games being Charlton away and Liverpool at home it is hard to see any improvement in the Cottagers table position in the near future without a major slice of good fortune.

However the following six games are the easiest group of games Fulham have in the season so roll on November and a rocket assisted ascent.
