Analysis: Another win but improvement needed
Oscar Bobb celebrates scoring with his team mates

Fulham's start to life under manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who took charge in the summer, has been of mixed quality.

Their 1-0 triumph over Hull last weekend finally delivered a victory after collecting just two points from their first six league games - although they had also managed draws in potentially tricky games against Manchester United and Liverpool.

The hope for Fulham fans will have been that picking up a win marked a turning point for their season. Saturday's victory was far from convincing but points towards their fortunes improving.

Up against another promoted side on Saturday, their style of play was similar to usual, with a keen focus on keeping possession.

But it rarely translated to good opportunities in the final third - and they struggled to pose a threat when it came to finishing off attacking moves.

It eventually took perseverance and a moment of good skill from Bobb to seize victory.

While the possession statistics made for good reading for Fulham as they held 64% of the ball to Coventry's 36%, they would have hoped to have posed more of a threat as they only managed to chalk up 0.55 xG.
