Fulham fan John Charles says "the pressure is off Alvaro Arbeloa's shoulders for now" following their 1-0 win against Hull City, and praised the head coach for his tactical flexibility in their opening seven games.

"We felt the win was coming," Charles told BBC Radio London. "I said before that the next games against the newly promoted sides [Hull City and Coventry City] would define the season.

"We got over the line in the Hull City game, but it should have been easier.

"Coventry are not a bad side, so it's not going to be easy.

"Hopefully Fulham can take some of that form and strategy and come out with a convincing win."
