A fan's view, by Steve Abbott

WHEN the player's rolled up for training earlier this morning they would probably have found Big Sam and Phil Brown huddled away in some small corner talking tactics and how to resolve the their current problems.

I think Sam's first priority would be to decide what were the pros of this disastrous opening days defeat at Loftus Road.

From a positive prospective, Wanderers still have the rest of the season to put things right although nothing else in the way of clear cut productive elements can be deemed from this so called performance.

To be frank, it was a lousy effort from most of the team. Fulham were sharper, made the most of their team spirit and inter-play, and didn't let going a goal behind dampen their undoubted enthusiasm to get at the Wanderers lacklustre defence.

Although much has been made of Fulham's match fitness after playing competitively before the start of the season, nothing can take away the Wanderers' inability to play as a solid unit on which Big Sam has built his whole team strategy from the moment he took charge at this club.

From our point of view it was embarrassing to watch after Ricketts had given us the perfect start, but the Wanderers supporters at the ground never once let their players down.

We sang all the way through the game because we love our club. Many of us had endured the car park commonly known as the M6 for some considerable time earlier in the day, our group only just making kick off time. So I say to the playing staff at BWFC - get yourselves sorted out now, because once that trap door beckons, it'll be very hard to resists its overwhelmingly powerful claws.
