Positives and negatives: Fulham 2-1 Leicester City
One pound pints probably can’t have a section dedicated to them but with a drizzly game to examine, Cam’s pulled a few points of interest from Saturday’s victory instead.
Obviously it kind of goes without saying that at home especially, you start as you mean to go on. Claiming a W at Craven Cottage against a side that are going to be dragged into a relegation battle pretty early on was crucial and though it wasn’t as straight forward as people had envisaged, we eventually made our distinct dominance pay.
Leicester City are due to be docked 10 points for FFP breaches and that meant that for them, gaining points to soften the blow is practically life or death, even at this incredibly early stage of the season. We had to be on our guard and other than a few minor lapses, the Whites were very much large and in charge from the first minute to the last.
Still searching for his first competitive win as Leicester City manager, Steve Cooper will hope that the third time is the charm when his side host Tranmere Rovers in Tuesday’s EFL Cup second-round clash.
The Foxes welcome their League Two counterparts to the King Power Stadium on the back of losing 2-1 to Fulham in the Premier League, while their visitors already have one 3-0 win to their name in this year’s League Cup.
These are the games where Fulham should be in the ascendency, building solid foundations at home is the bedrock for any team, no matter what division they’re part of and now we’ve points on the board, we can appreciate how we secured them and work to be even better next time out at Portman Road and indeed when we return to the Cottage in a fortnight.
