Cottagers concern Sanchez

Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez knows his side desperately need to pick up points to avoid being dragged into a relegation dogfight after losing 3-0 at Everton.
The Cottagers remained 14th in the table and just two points clear of the drop-zone after defeat at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Sanchez's side have yet to win on the road this season and the former Northern Ireland manager has admitted the dismal record continues to be the source of much bemusement.
"For the first 45 minutes we came here, we did very well and caused them all sorts of problems," he said.
"We needed to score the goal when we were on top and pushing.
"We didn't get the goal, they did and it changed the whole complexion of the game. We were a shadow once they got the second one.
"It's something we obviously need to put right. We need to get some wins on the road.
"I thought at half-time, excellent again, an excellent first-half performance, now let's go and build on it.
"We didn't and ultimately we've got beaten 3-0 and it's very disappointing. We're all very disappointed in there.
"But football is a moving feast and we come home to Newcastle and Wigan, two crucial games for us and we have to get points, there is no two ways about that."
