Faithless’ dance anthem ‘Insomnia’ booms out seconds before games at Fulham, and it’s rather apt for Kit Symons. His sleepless nights must be becoming all the more frequent as these haunting weeks go by. Down rained the boos yet again from a disgruntled bunch of supporters who deserve so much more than this; far more than a team lacking identity and direction. Those fans will quite rightly point to the fact their side were out-played for large parts against Rotherham, a club with a far inferior budget and experience at this level. They are losing faith in their manager, even though Fulham should retain their Championship status from here. Ross McCormack (left) pokes home the equaliser but Fulham were unable to push on for the winner . That they came away with a point was down to poor finishing from the Yorkshire visitors, nothing more. Ross McCormack came to the rescue after Matt Derbyshire’s early opener to spare blushes. Fulham just want this wretched campaign over. ‘First half we were awful,’ Symons said. ‘Second half was a huge improvement to a bit better than awful. We’re limping closer. ‘The sooner we get the points needed the sooner I’ll start sleeping in an evening.’ That spoke volumes. Kit Symons (centre) admitted his side were second best and says the club need to rebuild in the summer . ‘It is slow and it’s painful. We need to rebuild in the summer. It’s an anxious period - people are concerned. The players did show good character to come from behind.’ Steve Evans’ team still await their fate after being charged for fielding an ineligible player, Farrend Rawson, during the win against Brighton earlier this month. Should the Football League follow the precedent set with AFC Wimbledon last year, the Millers will find themselves lumped with a three-point deduction. When that judgement is to be made remains unclear - although it almost certainly will come before the final day on May 2 - meaning the relegation dogfight could go to the wire, with resurgent Millwall enjoying a game in hand. Rotherham knew points must be won here, and set about bossing proceedings from the very first minute. Matt Derbyshire (centre) pokes home the opener after four minutes to put Steve Evans' side in the lead . Fulham XI: Bettinelli, Richards, Turner, Burn, Husband, Parker, Guthrie, Tunnicliffe (Hoogland - 54), Ruiz, McCormack, Smith . Subs not used: Kiraly, Stafylidis, Hutchinson, Woodrow, Rodallega, Kavanagh . Goals: McCormack 67 . Booked: Guthrie, Burn, Turner . Rotherham XI: Martinez, Hunt, Morgan, Broadfoot, Lafferty; Smallwood, Arnason, Frecklington, Pringle; Ward, Derbyshire . Subs not used: Collin, Wilson, Wood, Hammill, Bowery, Milsom, Green . Goals: Derbyshire 4 . Booked: Broadfoot . Referee: Andy Davies . How it came to pass that Matt Derbyshire might’ve put the visitors three goals up inside the first four minutes will mystify Symons. Eventually the former Olympiacos striker settled for one, the simplicity galling for a club who were facing Tottenham this time a year ago. Firstly Derbyshire clipped wide inside the six-yard box before the long legs of Dan Burn prevented him from tapping home seconds later. But Fulham fell asleep from Ben Pringle’s corner to present Derbyshire with a third opportunity and he wasn’t to miss, stabbing in from close range to signal the Craven Cottage dissenters to find their voice. Matt Smith’s header was cleared off the line in an instant reply, but Symons’ side looked shot, as they had been here against Brentford and Wigan previously. And they allowed Derbyshire in again, this time Burn misreading a high ball, but he was thwarted by Marcus Bettinelli. Danny Ward squandered a glorious chance from 12 yards, skewing a shot wide as Fulham continued to be carved open. Bryan Ruiz (10) is denied a goal by the on-rush Arsenal loanee Emiliano Martinez of Rotherham . Fulham's remaining  fixtures: Blackpool (A), Middlesbrough (H),Norwich (A) Rotherham's remaining fixtures: Norwich (H), Reading (H), Leeds (A) Kirk Broadfoot was guilty of missing a superb chance from another corner and the central defender later struck a post. Saying they could have scored five before the break isn’t hyperbolic. 'They could've been out of sight,' admitted Symons. Bryan Ruiz spurned a good opportunity for the hosts, McCormack then failing to stretch far enough to covert at the back post. Every stray pass was met with groans, each overhit cross with sighs. Many are resigned to these turgid displays, but more than a small section just will not accept it. Symons was bailed out by McCormack though, who got on the end of Scott Parker’s pass to poke in a 67th-minute equaliser. It was a rare moment of quality, but edges them closer to safety. Matt Smith (centre) was unable to continue his good goalscoring form for the Cottagers . ‘The goal is a blatant handball by McCormack,’ Rotherham assistant Paul Raynor fumed. ‘We dominated possession and created a number of opportunities.’ ‘You hope something’s going to fall for us. One thing that can never be labelled against our team is a lot of character and desire. That’s the minimum we expect. We’re enjoying the challenge and had a difficult week. A good word to use is defiance.’ Symons added: ‘I’ve seen the goal again and there’s probably an element of doubt, but I’d expect them to have a moan about it.’ The goal gave the whole place a lift, Smith unfortunate not to win a penalty after Craig Morgan’s shove and substitute Tim Hoogland thumped a header over when unmarked at the back post. Oddly, one point may have been three but that would’ve merely masked glaring deficiencies. For all the talk of difficulties, staying in the division is the only thing that matters. Time for Fulham to press reset and start again.
