'Wolves next weekend already feels like a must win'

A fantastic day out in London was, once again, spoiled by the football. There is nothing more painful than losing in the dying seconds - it is a hard one to swallow.

We set off nice and early, full of anticipation. Fulham away is one of the best days out of the season, so when the fixtures came out, I was delighted we would get the trip in early.

That said, I'm never overly optimistic against a side with the Premier League experience Fulham have. The first half wasn't much of a spectacle, but I'd have happily taken a point.

When Harry Wilson went across to take a corner, our end made its feelings known after the drama of deadline day – no surprises there!

Defensively, we held our own. Jayden Bogle and Joe Rodon put in another strong shift, as they always do. Without them, our start to the season would look a lot more embarrassing.

Karl Darlow also deserves credit. He earned his place last season, and even though he is not everyone's first-choice goalkeeper, I think he makes a convincing case to be.

Then came the gut punch – an own goal, and a header at that. It is horrible whenever it happens, but in the final moments it is brutal.

Gabriel Gudmundsson has started positively for us, so I hope this doesn't cast too long a shadow over his performances. If only it was in our net - what a header it would have been!

If blame lies anywhere, I would point it at the board. We simply don't have a strong enough striker, and the lack of quality wingers is glaring – exactly the areas our manager asked to strengthen.

That is why Wolves next weekend already feels like a must-win game. If we can't get a result against a side struggling as much as they are, then panic mode really will start to set in.

And one last note to myself: if Sunderland are playing in the same city, always change trains via Leeds. Never, ever go back through York. Let's just say that journey home was... memorable.
