Not an amazing performance, but got the three points and that's all that matters. First half  thought we really lacked creativity, we struggle to create unless its from the wide areas in a 4-4-2. For me mainly down to Soucek and his lack of qualilty on the ball which leads him to just taking the easy option and going backwards more often then not.  Wilson for me struggled, didnt link up with Taty well and just doesn't have the legs to cause a threat or press particularly well.   When the ball did go wide Diouf struggled with his crossing, and AWB and Bowen tried hard but not much in threat came from the right. Bowen works his nuts off but looks like he has lost that half a yard which takes him away from players. 

Now for the good bits,  thought the two centre backs were immense. Strong, pacy, aggression, good on the ball. Superb.  Fernandes also done alot of good work in the middle. Now onto Jimmy, best player on the pitch. Took his goal well and our biggest goal threat by a mile. Getting into Payet levels of carrying the team, our relegation relies on him staying fit as much as anything else. 

The away end superb, the 5 mins of solid cunting off Sully and then Brady was delightful.  I didn't think Fulham were all that at all and they beat Spurs.....so what does that say about them.  They have tough away games till the end of the season and have the worst home record in the 92 bar Sheff Weds!

I get that Spud can drop deep when required, but it does leave us short. If we do that against Man City, they’ll destroy us and we won’t see the ball. Especially as they’re pissed about dropping points last night.

Anyway, all irrelevant this morning. That was a great win at Fulham and we’ve caught the pack we’ve been chasing. Let’s not waste this chance.

Leeds have got Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford, Palace and Wolves in the coming weeks, I just can't see it myself.

Leeds have won two of their last ten games. Which of those games are gimmes for them?

Stop following me around you fucking oddball, just because we had a disagreement before, I don't even know who you are. I think it's pretty clear what my point is, but you seem to have a hard on for me. Now fuck off out of it.

Individual mistakes can be forgiven as long as we are racking up points and we get closer to safety. Still wouldn't like to predict how this season ends,could well end up that our last game of the season is a 'who stays up decider' between us and Leeds.

Although, it was a very smart save towards the end, it followed from a corner kick into the centre of the six-yard box, a few yards from goal where he had just stayed on his line and watched

Hermansen had his best performance, some great saves.
Wasn’t pretty but it’s the win that matters.

Gonna be a dog fight but I’m starting to like our chances. We’ve clawed our way back, momentum is with us. 

If I was a betting man I’d put my money on Spurs being the team that goes down.

Wouldn’t that be funny!

Think Nuno got away with one tonight, plan A didn't work and was never going to work and it's disturbing he can't see this. No more Wilson unless we're chasing a goal late in a game. Three in midfield is essential unless we have Pablo available and hopefully that's going to be soon for the run against Villa, Wolves Everton etc. 

​​​​​​Turns out Magassa played pretty well then?
