Just another 15 points from 11 games (don't think we will be beaten on goal difference), well done tonight Fulham. At half time I was thinking a draw would be a good result, the sending off did help but then we went into overdrive.  :wine:
We actually need 16 points to guarantee automatic promotion as things stand right now since Huddersfield can reach 92 points in the highly unlikely event they win their last 10 matches. 15 more points would only give us 91.

But I agree that mid-high 80s will see us promoted automatically this season.

My mistake, yes we need 16 more points though 12 will probably be enough.

I think it's best if we end the season (ie get promoted) as early as possible because no player can really relax until the job is done.

Once we are promoted we can give some game time to Gazza; Tete, Mawson, Kongolo, Bryan; Hector, Onamah, Hilton; Knockaert, Muniz, and Stansfield. Some of those have a future with us and others need to get in the shop window for the summer.

 Target should be 33 points from here on. Keep winning because winning becomes a habit, a good habit, and once you get the flavour of winning you keep it ticking over and by doing that it will guarantee over and above 100 goals which always looks and feels good to achieve that target.
The earlier we achieve promotion the more time Fulham have to commence their preparation to accomplish signing their first or second choice targets in their mission to organise their preseason to be prepared in plenty of time for their assault on the  English Premier League ( not Premiership, that's Rugby Union ).

Whether Fabio stays remains to be seen, if unfortunately he leaves, the more time Fulham have to replace him the more chance of getting an adequate replacement.
If and when we do achieve the target of promotion with games to go, we must try and keep on winning up to the last match, because that's what winners do.
Not sure i would want the surly Zambo back just because he appears to only want to play in the EPL. I would not want to accommodate him, he is clearly a fair weather player.

Not good for team spirit amongst the Fulham players who have spent the season rolling their sleeves up for each other sweating blood with fire in their bellies.
We want players who will stick together through thick and thin.
If we do get back into the EPL it is paramount we stay there this time not bounce up and down as that is expensive and destabilises the club, as Fulham need stability to build the foundation to achieve future glories.

By doing that we may be in a much stronger position financially as well as being a Premier League team to hold on to our Jewels coming through from the Academy.
Success in the right hands breeds success.
We should naturally attract the quality players we need but they have to be the right players with the right attitude and mental strength. Yes Attitude, Mental Strength, Grit and Resilience, especially in adversity.

No big time Charlie's, no players who don't punch their weight, no players with soft underbelly's.
The Premier League is unforgiving and any team with passengers will be taken to the cleaners as we have already witnessed.
However the next target is to win Saturday and reach the finishing line asap, to be given the opportunity to prepare and organise for next season.

If the club are serious about staying in the premiership next season and beyond, I would imagine our management are already identifying a list of possible players, maybe already sending out feelers to a few players through their footballing network. We all know clubs talk to agents and players long in advance of any official approach.
