I don't think that was the managers fault - he picked as good a team as he could as far as I can remember and the players let us down with a poor performance and some dodgy decisions from the ref.
On the Safri/Holt thing though, given how untouchable Holt was in that season and how many times Safri was on the bench, I don't think Safri's fitness had a lot to do with it (some maybe, but not a lot) - he only came in at Christmas (to be attacked by the Doc!) because Holt was injured. IMO I think his reluctance to drop Holt cost us our place in the premier league far more than a dodgy performance at Fulham.
