With a rather out of form, kinda,Swansea next. Shame Leeds got a late goal though

yeah but only two full days between one game and the next game day. Ruthless levels of expectations from efl.

Yep, really got to hope we have the depth to handle it! Shame we picked up two injuries yesterday but hopefully, like AK, people will step up.

Easter 1959 : (for example)

March 27th (Good Friday)  beat Sheff Wed 6-2 (H)
March 28th (Easter Saturday) beat Grimsby 3-0 (A)
March 30th (Easter Monday) drew with Sheff Wed 2-2 (A)

10 of the players played in all 3 matches !

Interesting to read Derby fans comments re last night. Two pertinent ones are:

Fulham looked like world beaters last night , or did we make them look like that?   Yes you did, IMO

We played against arguably the best front 3 in the league from what I've seen. All three with such contrasting styles.  That remark about styles is, I think, especially key.  Throw in Bobby DR as a front 4 so having BDR, Cav, Mitro and AK and, given a decent amount of possession, it must be hellish to defend against them with the variety of attributes they bring to the party.  It reinforces the view that, assuming all are fit, we should normally play only one of Cav/Knocky who are pretty similar, albeit Knocky is a bit below par at the moment.
The world is made up of electrons, protons, neurons, possibly muons and, definitely, morons.

Super result. Big game on Friday!
Still far too early to be worrying about other teams.

I'm trying to recall when we started our fantastic run in 17/18. Was it around now or a bit later?

COYW!

That unbelievable run was kick started by the signing of a much needed left back and Mitro in the January window.

Nope. We had already gone 7 unbeaten in the league (6 wins and a draw) when Mitro first played for us. One match less for Targett.

Big game Friday, sitting 3rd & given our relative talent it's not about maintaining a top 6 place, it must be about keeping track with Leeds & WBA. Top 2 must be our aim and unlike the run we needed to go on under Slav, we're in distance now and need to stay there. A playoff place should only be considered a backup solution.

On the positive side, much of last night & the 2nd half vs QPR saw us attack with more pace & intensity in transition. What we've been crying out for. Hector will improve us January & Odoi's game at RB has improved of late, he's offering more balance and an option going forward. Certainly not on a level with Bryan on the other side (or Targett/ Fredericks) but it's better and if Steve Sess returns he needs to be encouraged and coached to get up in support rather than tuck into a DM role. Kamara has put in possibly his best 2 performances in a Fulham shirt.

Agree that Odoi is not on the same level as Bryan.....he is miles better. Bryan is the worst defender at the club and a liability to be honest. If you look at where we concede most goals from it is left back area - either from crosses from the left not defended (i.e. QPR) or JB not marking properly at the back post.

Bryan is an excellent attacking fullback IMO and when he didn't play we still conceded due to the space between LB & CB - I think it's more of a set up issue than Bryan being awful, plus the players ahead aren't tracking back to cover as much as they should. We would be a far poorer side without Bryan.

This is true. Bryan is more of a wing back and his delivery is excellent. He is weaker defending than Odoi but offers more the other way. Someone needs to cover him when defending, maybe Ream could come over to sweep up if Bryan gets beaten.

has anyone got any actual stats on that, goals and assists this season are pretty similar in my mind
