If we all agree to sacrifice Matt, I'm pretty sure that cancels out the bad juju he has just inflicted on us.

Have we let in a single killer late goal all season?

I don't remember one

We haven't yet this season (touch wood!), but the memories of last season are enough to ensure that we've endured some nervy endings to games.

Decided some time ago not to post a " knee jerk assessment. " I thought that Fulham were a quick and entertaining team. A fair result would have been a draw or even an away win. So a win against a top six end of season finisher was a great result. I thought Bruce was spot on with the line up and substitutions. Upcoming fixtures and results are crucial next month. On the whole a very successful month. (Wolves deserved to win but it's a marathon not a knock out tournament!)

Wes agree with most of your post other than its main point where you say a fairer result would have been a draw or a win for Fulham. I don't see that at all. Yes they are a neat little team but how many chances did they create? They got lucky with the free kick but other than that I can only remember two. The one where Johnstone gathered easily to his right in the first 20 minutes and his wonderful save just after we had retaken the lead. We had three good chances at 2-1 to extend out lead so no I don't think Fulham deserved anything more than they got.

Fulham deseved nothing and were duly rewarded with nothing.

All the penetration of a butter knife.

Just felt that they missed of guilt- edged opportunities across the box inthe first half. You're probably right mate

You must have confused the Trinity for the Holte. They can go forwards, just not as well as they go sideways.

I am at a loss as to how anybody can suggest they deserved something from the game to be honest.

We were the better side and we deserved the win. We actually played well in both halves which is not something you can always say about us.

Absolutely.

..and yes, we should sacrifice Matt. It's the only way.

Perhaps Wicker Man style in Aston Park before the next home game.

Happy with the win, not so happy about that poor squirrel by the Holte End.
I thought it was a rat.
