What Fulham's defeat at Ipswich Town showed

Losing at Ipswich Town was not a freak afternoon. Fulham have won 1 of their last 6, drawn 2 and lost 3, which is 5 points, and the home record inside that is the number that bites: 0 wins from 2 at Craven Cottage. Their only win in the run came away at West Ham United in the EFL Cup, 3-2.

There is nothing wrong with the forward line. Fulham have scored in 4 of those 6 games and both sides have scored in 4 of them. It is the other end. Three of the six brought 2 or more goals conceded, including a 2-3 home defeat to Crystal Palace, and there has been exactly 1 clean sheet - the 0-0 at Liverpool.

Sports Mole, citing The Standard, report that Arbeloa has two games to save his job and that Hull City is one of them.

Hull City keep drawing

Hull City drew 2-2 at home to Everton 6 days before this one, which was their third draw in six. Won 1, drew 3, lost 2, 6 points against Fulham's 5. They also drew 2-2 away at Chelsea and 0-0 at home to Aston Villa, and the only win was 1-0 away at Coventry City.
