I am hanging onto the thought that if we beat Hull we will be promoted irrespective of what Fulham might do. However, after over 60 years of supporting the club, I am inevitably pessimistic. I wouldn't exactly call it flying the white flag but occasionally realism has to enter the equation. We are playing badly, can't do much more than hoof the ball, our new striker can't hit the proverbial barn door from 5 paces and even our most reliable players look tired. Of course we can win on Saturday but the odds are that we won't.
