Stuart Gray was forced to let the rain batter him as he stood and watched his Fulham side batter Bolton.
However, the senior coach only witnessed two Whites goals in a game they could have lost to a club winless in 16 games, and whose players are not being paid.
Luke Garbutt cashed in on woeful defending to put Fulham ahead, but Zac Clough’s brace set away hearts pounding.
Ross McCormack, like so many times already, was the rescuer, but his side are now eight games since they won.
A sorrowful Gray could only sigh at the 2-2 draw.
“I’m sat here and can’t believe we’ve only got one point from the game,” he said. “To go only 1-0 up at half-time, I said to the players that we hadn’t been clinical enough, we need to be more ruthless.
“And it was same again second half – we had a great opportunity to make it 2-0, and suddenly it bites you and they get back in the game. Then when they go 2-1 up you’re wondering if it’s just one of those days, and then we’re relying on Ross McCormack again to hit a worldy.
“I don’t think I’ve been in a game where there’s been so many one-on-ones with the goalkeeper.
“We’ve missed the target and we’ve hit the woodwork twice, but I’ve been in the game long enough to know that you need to convert your chances.
“At times we moved the ball very well and caused Bolton problems, but you know they’re going to have a 10-minute period in the game, and that 10 minute period is when they got their noses in front because of us not being ruthless enough in front of goal.”
He added: “We’ve put an excellent display in; we’ve created a number of chances, but it’s two points thrown away.
“But heads could have dropped and we could easily have lost the game, so credit to the players, they stuck at it. Even at the death we've had a couple of chances to win the game.”
