Hughes understands fans' frustration
Manager Mark Hughes admitted Fulham's fans were within their rights to call for his head after the 3-1 home defeat to West Ham dragged the club into the Barclays Premier League drop zone.
Hughes left the field to chants of "Hughes out" having earlier been subjected to taunts of "You don't know what you're doing" as he watched his side throw away a one-goal lead against the rock-bottom Hammers.
The result - an eighth game without a win for Fulham - ensured they would end the weekend in the drop zone, level on points with the Hammers.
Hughes, who is now under real pressure less than six months after succeeding Roy Hodgson, said: "When you lose home games I think they're well within their rights to vent frustration because they've seen their team lose at home, which is not something that's happened on that regular an occasion.
"But I think deep down the vast majority understand what we're trying to do and it will take time and we've just got to be patient.
"If we do that, there are good players here and we'll come through the other end. But, at the moment, it's frustrating for everyone because we're better than we've shown."
