As it happens they are now 13 points adrift from the vital 4th from bottom spot and I think that will make the world of difference to their motivation - especially when playing another side who are desperate for the points themselves. This could come down to heart and desire and I doubt if Sunderland have much of that left whilst Fulham should have it in spades. We'll see.

Whether or not they already thought they were doomed, I cannot believe that the reaction was anything other than complete despondency at cruely losing a game they should have won.
