DOUGIE Freedman refuted suggestions that tonight’s 4-0 hammering at Fulham could put him out of a job at Wanderers.

After seeing his side out-classed and out-fought at Craven Cottage, the under-fire boss insisted he would take charge of Saturday’s home game against Bournemouth.

Asked whether he will survive, Freedman produced a bullish response.

“Yes I do, I’m here to work, I’m here to do my very best and that’s what I’m doing right now.”

Asked whether he had considered resigning from the post, the Scot again dug in his heels.

“I don’t think that way at all,” he said. “I’m working very hard to turn this round.

“I don’t think the players have chucked the towel in, I think they have shown a very good spirit. They have shown a good spirit and kept on going.

“It’s as simple as this, the errors that we keep on making are giving other teams confidence and energy to hang on to results when we open the game up.

“We do not do enough up top to get goals.”

Wanderers conceded two goals in each half against a slick Fulham side, leaving the club four points adrift in the bottom three of the Championship.

Travelling fans placed banners bearing the words “Freedman Out” and also called for the manager to be sacked on several occasions during the game.

Freedman attempted to explain his side’s underperformance in a game it appeared he could ill-afford to lose.

“I’d say to the Bolton Wanderers supporters ‘thanks for travelling down to see us, it’s a very long journey,’ unfortunately once again we haven’t given ourselves a chance to win the game,” he said.

“We felt we had set our stall out the right way and one catastrophic error has put us on the back foot.

“We did okay in the first half, created a couple of things and hit the crossbar but then gave away a silly free kick.

“We tried to change it round in the second half and put three attacking players on in the one go, open the game up, but nothing happens around their box and they hit us on the break – so it shows what happens when we open up.”
