Important we take 7 points from the next 3.

I think Sheffield United playing on Saturday in the FA Cup while we have a rest for 12 days will benefit us, but a point would be ok. I'd be surprised if Derby beat Millwall away.

Then Burton and Small Heath. Take 7 points and it's 19 out of 21 and puts us on 57 after 31 and only 4 off that 2 points per game average.

We went up on goal difference or something. It was very tight.

Goals scored, so even tighter.
There was a good few goals scored between 4.30 and 4.45 on the final day tjat swung things our wayy

It’s a bloody mad league. It’s like what the old Division 1 was like when I was a kid.

Fucking Barnsley, pointless sending off and then they knackered themselves in the end. Fulham might go above us after we play them in a few weeks.

Don't talk soft.

Pity Wolves won, but I wouldn't be surprised to be 2nd come close of play Tuesday.

Blimey. Or nothing will have changed from last week if we win on Tuesday and then head into two home games vs teams in the bottom 3.

True, but the results today were still shitty. I just hope we go for it and make sure we don’t slip up on Tuesday. It’s a massive game.

Worth remembering that if people really believe you need 90 points for second Fulham will need to win 14 of their final 17 games.

Less of course and that benefits us (and Derby).

They've just got more momentum even than us and we always seem to do crap at Craven Cottage. But it's true, I should be more confident in my team. I just can't trust them after the past decade :(

It looks likely Cairney will go to West Ham, that will be a big blow.

They've taken 2 points more than us over the past 6 games.

In the past 6 home games they've won 5 and drawn 1, scored 15 and conceded 3.

We've won 4, drawn 2, scored 14 and conceded 4.

Away from home over the past 6 games we've both won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2. They've scored 11 and conceded 9. We've scored 6 and conceded 6.

To suggest they've got more momentum is stretching it. Let's see how they cope with quick fire games and losing their best players.

Fulham lost to Sunderland a month ago.

Imagine the reaction on here if we did that.

And?
 We lost to Brentford and Derby in quick succession and gave up a two goal lead against Shef Utd about a month ago and that was not acceptable.   I think our expectation is more than your average Fulham fan's , quite rightly.
