Death, taxes and Fulham somehow managing to lose games from winning positions due to individual errors and absolute worldies.

Whilst some things in life are certain others take you by surprise. So why did our fanbase meltdown online after Fulham's late meltdown away at Bournemouth?

Did Marco Silva get it wrong in opting for a very conservative five at the back against the Cherries? Were the introductions of TC and Chukwueze perfect supersub deployment or a reminder of how much creativity and firepower we didn't call on from the start? And are we destined to never see Jonah Kusi-Asare?

With injuries, frustration and tricky fixtures piling up as we head into the international break join Kish, Dylan and James as they try and work out what our 3-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium really tells us about the season ahead

Just five days on from their capitulation at Villa Park, strikerless (sorry Jonah!) Fulham head to the scene of one of last season's crimes, the Vitality Stadium.

But is a game against Andoni Iraola's punchy, pressing Bournemouth side the last thing we need right now?

Who can step up to offer some much needed creativity and firepower? With no Kenny Tete to keep tabs on Antoine Semenyo, can Marco Silva's men keep it tight at the back? And how on earth have our opponents thrown in key new recruits with no hesitation when we seem so reluctant to do the same?

Sam, Kish and Bournemouth fan James look to answer those questions (whilst also bonding over some shared Scott Parker slander) in this earlier than usual preview of our Friday night fixture.

Injuries to the club's two senior strikers meant that we were forced to field Adama Traore up front for the majority of Sunday's visit to Villa Park.

And so while our physios were being kept busy, it was no surprise that Doctor Fulham was helping to breathe new life into an Aston Villa side that previously had been unable to buy a goal.

Sam, Dylan and Alex sit down to discuss the centre-forward fiasco, our frailties to long ball football, and whether refereeing would be better if VAR was replaced by a random spin of the wheel.
