• Jol sacked by Fulham 24 hours after damaging loss • Leap of faith by Shahid Khan to appoint Rene Meulensteen Martin Jol’s parting shot to the press after Fulham’s 3-0 defeat by West Ham on Saturday afternoon had something fittingly elegiac about it. “I’ll see you soon … I hope,” Jol said as he disappeared down the nearest corridor. In the event Jol may yet be seen again in English football, but it will not…

Bless him. Scotty rocked up at the Boleyn and put in his typical performance: 100% commitment, running himself into the ground, diving in front of shots, covering as many blades of grass as his ageing legs and lungs would allow, even charging into the penalty area on one tunnel-visioned run – and, of course, getting caught in possession twenty five yards out from his own goal, thereby setting up West Ham’s opening goal! If any game summed up Scotty, this was it!…

Well, looking back after the event, it was all very comfortable wasn’t it? Based on that showing, Fulham are in deep, deep, deep trouble and we look too good to go down. But let’s take a deep breath and look at things honestly. The team that started the game had scored just two goals between them all season. Some leapt on my negative half time report, in which I made Fulham favourites to run out 1-0 winners, based on the fact that they had goal scorers in their team …

So Allardyce’s program notes list the strikers he tried to buy, but trying isn’t good enough. They wouldn’t join because they knew they wouldn’t get a game if Carroll was fit and available. Mind you, that was always going to be one hell of an IF! Today, Allardyce has returned to plan A. Maiga up front, Nolan behind, Jarvis and Downing out wide and Diame and Noble providing the midfield engine – and that might work if Jarvis could cross and Maiga could score. But Jarvis wastes opportunity after…

Both managers enter this fixture knowing that a bad result could quickly propel their names to the front of the sack race. Without a win in five games, Sam Allardyce’s side are clearly suffering from the lack of a quality striker and after one goal in four games, Carlton Cole may merit a start. For Fulham Darren Bent and Dimitar Berbatov may have 195 Premier League goals between them, but their partnership continues to show few indications of prospering. Louis …
