Felix Magath has always been known as a tough taskmaster and his first act after being handed the Fulham job last week was to order the players in for extra training. We will see this afternoon whether that worked but with only one point from the last six games, they need an instant response. West Bromwich, however, have the next worst recent run of form with three points from 18. Alan Smith
