3 points and run

Leno for man of the match!

[Steeeeeeeeeed]

Raul actually reversed his forward motion on that penalty kick.

He's lucky the ref allowed it.

BBC commentators say he pretty much stopped twice, but he shuffled his feet which seemed to have helped him get away with it.

First goal for Raul since his dads passing, hence the celebration. Overall its good to get a result and go to the break on a win

[The Old Count]

Fine margins Mr Parker.

Flattering scoreline.
Biggest concern was lack of tempo for 60 minutes until they scored and the shackles seemed to come off. Question of delayed subs again by Silva *not for the first time* this season.

Anyway, after 65 minutes we went into third gear driven by MOTM Wilson (who I suspect will be off for bigger and better things in the summer).

Parker will probably lament their penalty shout in the first half and Jiminez's run up in our penalty.. but if he's being honest they couldn't convert their initial pressure into goals (sadly the hallmark of relegation sides, as we know all too well in the past).

I remain concerned by our form going into the final stretch and have very little expectation of a Europe spot as a result. I remain sceptical of Silva's decision making.. but I guess 3 points is 3 points, and we are now 8th in the league if you can believe it.

COYW..!

Remain unconvinced by Anderson.

Would like to see poor old Diop get the run in the side he deserves.

Another 5/10

Fair call. I am a massive Wilson fan though. Great to see him reaching Andy Cole levels of goals for Fulham in a season.

Fulham into 8th place for now...

Says a lot. We came good at the end but they had too many chances. I know we have a good squad and I like Marco's style but I am so frustrated when we don't play to our potential. Personally I hope we don't qualify for Europe, so many teams have fallen away badly in the league when they compete in Europe without the depth of resources that the Manchester clubs and Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea have.

...but there again the ref was Kavanagh. Any similarity between his decisions and the laws of the game are purely coincidental.

Important point. Newcastle, Spurs, etc all struggled this year.
