After seeing that Bruce picked the same team that was dreadfully poor against Huddersfield, I feared the worst and actually backed Fulham just to ease the pain of the inevitable defeat.
But in actual fact, that was pretty much as good a performance as we can expect with the squad we have.
As was the story in earlier parts of the season, we were largely poor in front of goal. But we looked like a different side in terms of effort and running. Players playing on the front foot. You have to ask, where has that been in the last 3 or 4 months? Had we played with that effort, we'd be knocking on the door of the top 6 at least. We've been way short of that level for a long time.
Result was largely academic given our position in the league, but it was pleasing to see us play with some pride again.
I guess I'll have to start backing the opposition more often...
