Blackpool 0 Fulham 1
'Oyster Out' came the chants from both the Blackpool and Fulham fans and yet Lee Clark went about his business of losing games as if no one really cares anymore. 16 games without a win now for the manager who is taking the Seasiders down in spectacular fashion.
Blackpool almost took the lead inside five minutes when Henry Cameron struck the post with only the keeper to beat. Cameron had another shot saved a minute later, but Matt Smith put Fulham ahead when he nodded in Sean Kavanagh's cross. Nathan Delfouneso had an effort cleared off the line for the hosts, while Gary Madine had a late effort well saved by Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli.
Smith could have made the game more comfortable shortly after scoring, but he headed Kavanagh's corner wide from six yards out. Jose Cubero came closest to drawing the home side level before the break, but he could not direct his diving header on target.
Another defeat in a torturous season which is thankfully coming to it's sorry end.
