Bolton 0 - Fulham 0

Sounds as though we played a very defensive game tonight. By all accounts Andreasen and Hangeland performed well but had no-one up front to punt it to.

I am a big fan of Dempsey, but it really seems as though he has been thoroughly knackered out by his efforts this season. A one-man attack force is not going to bring us what we need this year. It's all very well praying for the return of McBride, important though he is we are placing waaaaaay too much hope on his impact.

We need some strikers and we need them now. We need a team that is built to drive forward. Whilst our defense played well tonight, we are not playing the 'keep things tight' game. We are in the survival game.

Other news tonight Marlon King, the man that both failed and didn't fail his Fulham medical is taken off injured in his first game for Wigan. Keegan proves that you can be fooled twice in the same week by the same team. And Paul Merson's commentary for Sky Sports tonight does indeed prove that it is possible to teach a chimp to talk.

Ok, so we're a point up on last night and things could have been worse. Both Wigan and Birmingham lost which helps matters a little, but we are still some distance from a recovery. A breakthrough is what we're after. Not the promise of one.
