Okay so now the season is done and we're promoted, what is the standout match for you all this season, be it for the result, atmosphere, experience etc? Excluding the Playoff Final because I think that's arguably the greatest Fulham game of our lives so far.
For me it's a toss up between the second leg of the playoffs at home to Derby because the atmosphere was as good as I've ever experienced at the Cottage, or Boro away purely for the fact we pulled a fast one on Pulis and it sort of acted as a catalyst for the momentum of our epic 23 game unbeaten run (plus everyone likes a dubious last minute penalty to win a game).
Millwall away was a bit special. Atmosphere was electric and we destroyed them in the 2nd half. It was one of those games that left you wondering if we'd ever lose again...
Millwall away. Everyone mouthing off about how our unbeaten run was about to come to an end with Millwall on a great unbeaten run too. Having just experienced the gutting last minute Brentford equaliser and with our performance levels dropping a bit it was great to see us produce a quality display and sink Millwall in the manner we did. Just showed the gulf in class between a potential top 6 team and a potential automatic promotion team. At the time the result gave us real hope for autos.
2nd leg against Derby.
The result, the atmosphere, the noise, an evening under the lights.... it was just fantastic in every way.
Although I only watched it on TV the second half of Millwall away seemed an unreal performance. I was jumping up and down in my living room after each goal.
I was less lucky with the away games I was able to attend in person this season: Bolton, Bristol and Birmingham. Away wins with Fulham remain something of an elusive experience for me but I am not planning to give up. :dft012:
So many to choose from but Saturday aside probably Derby second leg, Millwall away and Villa at home
Has to be 2nd leg against Derby, followed by the 2 nil home win v Wolves at the end of February which ended a (potentially) difficult month against several teams which at that time were at and around the top of the league.
Preston away is up there for me
So many to chose from? I think the Wolves & Villa home victories really set out our intentions & were brilliant performances.
Probably Derby at home as it meant so much.
Taking away the importance of a game then Millwall away.
Cardiff away on boxing day?
That was an epic game
Shelf Utd away
It has to be second leg v Derby for me.
Knowing what was at stake, the way we took the game to them and the atmosphere.
Absolutely brilliant!!
Since I managed to get to all our games this season I am allowing myself a top three:
3rd place: Reading away - a 1-1 draw after playing with 10 men for 89 minutes was a fantastic achievement. It showed just how well we could defend under pressure, just as we showed again last Saturday.
2nd place: Sheffield United away - a 5-4 away win and two hat-tricks. It doesn't get any crazier than that.
1st place: Milwall away - we were going to be intimidated, or so they said. An electric atmosphere and a sublime performance from Fulham in the second half. And Kevin McDonald's goal.
Best atmosphere at the Cottage: Derby play off
Best game of football: Wolves (one of the best games I can recall)
Best domination: Sheffield United (home)
Barmiest game: Sheffield United (away)
Best salvage job: Preston (home)
Best laugh: watching Neil Warnock respond to the offer of a handshake at Wolves, then bemoaning a lack of class
Been a good season
QPR away, Millwall away, Wolves at Home and Derby at Home (Play-off 2nd leg)
away to Millwall -- the second half was sublime -- the best I'd ever seen a fulham side play.. It was clear who the finest side in the league was.
Away to Milwall :)
Wolves at Home.

As many of said, this has to be it for me.
