Just took a look at the bottom of the table, was expecting to see Bolton well adrift but they are only 4 points off safety!! Back up our end the table looks a lot better than it did first thing today, we are now just a win off 5th place. We just need to continue the great home form and pick up what we can away from home.

Sounds like we played well. Good result. Well done lads.
Too bad the blades lost though. Takes the edge off it a bit don't you think?

Sasso was fantastic today and Hooper was outstanding, apart from not hitting one of his chances first time!
A great all round team effort and an absolutely stunning goal to win it! On the coach home now after the lads had pictures took with the players and Carlos! Think they are a bit old for it now at 16
JUST SAYING LIKE!

In a promotion season, there is often a month, a match or a moment when you realise that it is going to be a special season - the BDM under Big Jack, the win at Hull under Sturrock and the win at Huddersfield under DJ. I think yesterday was the day that a lot of fans realised that this is going to be a big season.
I have said that we should make the Playoffs for the last four matches now & if we had drawn at Boro then confidence levels would have been higher before yesterday's game. Firstly we lost Hutchinson in the warm up meaning another reshuffle at the back with Sasso coming in. CC preferred Nuhiu to Joao up front but otherwise, the team was as expected. We started slowly but for all the possession Fulham had, they didn't really threaten our goal. Wildsmith made one parry to his left and scrambled to his right for another shot that went wide. I always felt that we were the more likely side to score & Wallace duly obliged with a 30 yard rasper that went in off the cross bar. In the second half, we dominated more & looked totally comfortable with Wildsmith not having a single shot to save. By contrast, Lonergan was making save after save to keep Fulham in the match. He tipped over brilliantly when Hooper burst through and tipped Nuhiu's angled drive over the bar. He then got back to deny Hooper after he had worked a good position. Sasso headed inches over from a corner and at the death, Helan dribbled past three men before being denied. Not for one moment in the second half did I think that Fulham would get anything out of this game. It was just a question of whether we would get more goals. Wildsmith - 6 - easy afternoon Palmer - 7 - kept his area tight & got forward well Sasso - 8 - outstanding, always looks the part when called upon Loovens - 8 - again great talking with team mates to build spirit Pudil - 6 - given a bit of a rough time, lacked support at times Wallace - 7 - great goal & linked play well Lee - 7 - linked play well Bannan - 7 - all action hero, always probing FF - 7 - bright & inventive Hooper - 8 - runs ripped Fulham apart, deserved a goal Nuhiu - 7 - brighter than usual .................................................................... Sougou - 7 Joao - 6 Helan - 7 Only Pudil looked vulnerable yesterday against a tricky winger but with a bit more support most of the danger would have been gone. Stat Attack: Goals: 1 - Wallace Assists: 0 Tackles: 4 - FF, 3 - Sasso, Lee, Nuhiu, 2 - Pudil, 1 - Palmer, Loovens, Bannan, Hooper, Joao Interceptions: 4 - Bannan, 3 - Palmer, Sasso, Lee, 2 - Loovens, Pudil, Wallace, FF, 1 - Sougou Clearances: 6 - Sasso, 5 - Loovens, 4 - Pudil, 3 - Palmer, 2 - Hooper, 1 - FF Attempts: 3 - Hooper, 2 - Sasso, Wallace, FF, Nuhiu, 1 - Pudil, Bannan, Helan Attempts On Target: 2 - Hooper, 1 - Sasso, Wallace, Bannan, Nuhiu, Helan Key Passes: 4 - Bannan, 2 - Palmer, Wallace, Nuhiu Dribbles: 4 - Hooper, 1 - Nuhiu, Helan Dispossessed: 3 - Nuhiu, Hooper, 1 - Lee, FF, Joao Bad Control: 2 - FF, Hooper, 1 - Wallace, Nuhiu Crosses (Accurate in Brackets): 7 - Bannan (3), 5 - Wallace (1), 2 - Palmer (1), 1 - Pudil (0) Passing Accuracy (Total Passes in Brackets): Joao - 100% (2) Helan - 100% (1) Hooper - 79% (33) Sougou - 75% (8) FF - 71% (14) Bannan - 69% (42) Palmer - 68% (22) Lee - 68% (25) Nuhiu - 65% (20) Wallace - 62% (21) Sasso - 58% (19) Loovens - 55% (22) Pudil - 53% (17) Wildsmith - 35% (23) There were a number of things that came together yesterday. The fact we lost Hutchinson but Sasso slotted in seamlessly. We played our 4321 formation away & it worked well for us. The remaining Hooper sceptics were won over yesterday as he showed what he can do at this level. The fans even sung his song at the final whistle equally with Carlos Had a Dream. The battle for the Playoffs has now started and Young Padawan said we needed 13 wins to make the Playoffs - 12 now. With relatively easy home matches coming up against Bolton & Leeds, we could be in excellent shape for our next away game at Reading. Hopefully there will be a promotion party in May & hopefully I can make it to be there!
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Got to say, I keep having to slap myself back down as we keep getting the results, don't want to temp fate or be let down again. I hope MS is right and this is finally our year.
You know nothing, Jacko

Keep our home form up and win 4/5 away from home and we should be in the play offs
Big task with tricky away games still to come mind

We should be able to win most of our home matches so if we can win a few away then the Playoffs are a realistic target.
It is great that players like Sasso can step up & play brilliantly at short notice.
