Back in May, when Fulham regained the right to be called a Premier League club after beating Aston Villa in the Championship Play-Off Final, there were hopes that the club would not only consolidate their top-flight status this season but also go on to make an impression in the toughest league in the world.
Ten games into the season and that hope looks a forlorn dream.
Those ten games have yielded just the one win and the Cottagers sit in the bottom three and face two tough away games, in the Premier League, trips to Huddersfield and Liverpool.
Following the 3-0 drubbing handed out by Bournemouth this afternoon, the Fulham support have expressed their anger at the way things have gone, on social media.
The posts, considering our hopes back in August, do not make for good reading, with the following illustrating that point perfectly:
Spent 110m+.
1 shot on target.
Against Bournemouth.
At home.

Do we have a receipt for the 100m we spent

Indeed, it is looking as if some of the summer purchases do not fit the purpose.
Continuing, it seems the support are not impressed with the manner in which we’re losing:
We'll be bottom by the time we lose next, wonder if the Khans saw anything they liked today, I didn't. Just another poor performances on the pitch and nothing being done to fix it. If anything we're getting worse

Just getting the basics wrong. Again. And again. All that talent but can’t pass to each other. These are troubling times at the cottage. Only 3 teams have failed to score 3 or more against us. And they scored 2 each.

Getting embarrassing now.

Now there are some damning statistics in that middle comment, figures that illustrate our problems perfectly.
But, whilst confidence amongst the support is draining, are we deserved of the post below?
Remember how Derby were the worst team ever? Not for much longer I reckon. God I'm depressed, I don't know how much more of this I can put myself through

I’ll leave you to decide!
