Fulham's long wait for an away win continues after they fought out a scrappy goalless draw with Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides had their moments but lacked an obvious cutting edge in a Barclays Premier League contest at the Britannia Stadium which saw neither goalkeeper tested.
Stoke missed the best chance late in the first half when Richard Cresswell scooped over from 10 yards.
For Tony Pulis' men it was another valuable point but Fulham have now failed to score in four consecutive away matches and have still not won on their league travels this term.
The Potters were without their most recognisable attacking weapon - Rory Delap's long-range throw-ins - but Ibrahima Sonko proved an able touchline deputy for the Irishman.
Delap passed a fitness test to feature after having an injection on an arm injury but he soon realised he lacked his usual delivery strength.
The midfielder's first throw after 16 minutes barely reached the box and after that passed responsibility to Sonko.
By that time Stoke had already lost another of their attacking outlets after Mamady Sidibe was carried off on a stretcher with barely a minute's action gone.
long throw
The Mali international went down in agony in the Fulham box after his side's first attack. Cresswell, who had been relegated to the bench to accommodate the returning Ricardo Fuller, was immediately on the field.
Fulham were without striker Bobby Zamora due to a hip injury but his usual partner Andy Johnson looked lively early on and felt he should have had a penalty after 15 minutes.
Johnson tumbled into the box after contact with Glenn Whelan on the 18-yard line but Attwell waved play on.
Abdoulaye Faye, fresh from his dramatic late equaliser at Newcastle United last week, got in Stoke's first serious effort at goal from a corner but his header was blocked by one of his own team-mates.
Cresswell spurned the best chance of the first half six minutes before the interval after linking well with Fuller.
Jamaica international Fuller turned neatly on the edge of the area and slipped in a fine ball but Cresswell somehow scooped over from 10 yards.
Sonko, emulating Delap on the stroke of half-time, hurled a long throw into the box which bounced awkwardly and an uncertain Mark Schwarzer put out for a corner.
Fulham's Jimmy Bullard had the first chance of the second half but shot weakly at Thomas Sorensen after breaking into the box.
finished strongly
Johnson was lucky to escape a booking for a reckless challenge on Danny Pugh and there were signs Attwell was struggling to keep pace as the game became increasingly niggly.
Stoke managed to piece an attack together after a scrappy passage of play but Amdy Faye shot well over.
Fulham carved out a good chance moments later when Johnson pulled the ball back from the byline but Clint Dempsey missed the target from six yards.
Simon Davies also fired a shot wide from outside the area.
Amdy Faye had another long-range effort 11 minutes from time but his shot was deflected over for a corner and the deadlock remained.
Stoke substitute Vincent Pericard then broke clear soon after but wasted the opportunity by shooting early and wide.
The hosts, finishing strongly, appealed for a penalty late on after Fuller went down after contact with Danny Murphy but again Attwell was uninterested.
Dempsey had the last chance of the match - but again his shot went wide.
