Hughes - We Could Have Nicked It

Last updated : 06 December 2008 By Sam
The City boss believed that City may even have nicked all three points despite being without several regular first team squad players for the match at Craven Cottage.

"We had 12 or so senior players out and played in midweek but I think that's the first point we've gained after a European date so we are reasonably happy," he said after the 1-1 draw.

"We looked quite comfortable and were never under sustained pressure from Fulham.

"I didn't think they asked too many questions of us. I don't think they created too much in open play, so in the end we're maybe a little disappointed we couldn't nick the three points."
