Fulham pay price for lack of cutting edge

Fulham began life after Bobby Zamora with a whimper as West Brom secured a point on Roy Hodgson’s first return to Craven Cottage.

The 31-year-old striker left for west London rivals QPR on Monday, leaving the home side bereft of attacking ideas.

Heading into the match, Martin Jol ran with a line-up missing a recognised striker as new signing Pavel Pogrebnyak was not registered in time to feature and Andrew Johnson was left out of the 18-man squad.
