Fulham were held to a frustrating draw by Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Wednesday night spurning the opportunity to close the gap on the automatic promotion places to just a solitary point.

The Cottagers dominated possession, 68% compared to the home side’s 32% but they were unable to make it count as Lee Bowyer’s side held on for a valuable point.

The Fulham faithful were understandably disappointed after the game, acknowledging that a huge opportunity had been missed and many opted to aim their frustrations at the club’s captain Tom Cairney.

Should Tom Cairney be stripped of the captaincy mid-season?

Yes

Yes

No

No

What do we think?

Tom Cairney’s last goal contribution came back in November during the 3-0 victory over Derby County and he’s yet to provide even an assist since. According to WhoScored.com, the player’s performance warranted a rating of 6.8/10 which in comparison to some of his team-mates was by no means disastrous, but the issue here is that the fans expect so much more from a player of the 29-year-old’s talent.

Scott Parker and the club’s supporters will be hoping the former Blackburn midfielder can rediscover his best form as we enter the most crucial part of the season.
