POST MATCH: Brentford

[Friendsoffulham]

So, that's the double over Brentford this season then with goals from Raul, TC and Wilson. This game had it all, from going 1 up to 2 down, with a Leno penalty save, Wissa not being sent off, to 2 second half Fulham goals and winning 3-2.

Nice end, to what seemed like a drop off since the Liverpool game, but always good to get a win over the bus stop boys from Hounslow.

Let's have all your Post Brentford reactions below.

First time we have done the league double over them since 1938 apparently, although Ludlow Rich will no doubt be able to confirm that.

[SuffolkWhite]

Wasn't there today but will watch it on Fulham tv tomorrow, excellent win 👏🏻

[LC]

Josh King looks like a real talent. I expect to see a lot more of him next season for us. Hopefully we get him on a long term contract soon.

[General]

Also takes us to our record points tally for a PL season at 54, and you couldn't really pick a better ground to do it.

We may not get Europe this season, we have tailed off a bit recently, but we're still in the mix and have a lot to be proud of from the team/squad/management/coaches this season.

Now to build quickly in the summer to have everyone in place for the season opener and feeling fresh and with a bigger squad and a bit more competition.

lovely to see the scenes at the end with Cairney, though it does suggest this is his last farewell for us based on how everyone was acting, which is a shame. Hopefully they announce it between now and the last match if so, so fans can prepare for the game properly and give him a well earned send off.

Well done team for picking yourselves up and getting the three points.

Nice to ruin the media love in for the Bees.

Normal service is resumed.

We were second best for most of the game.

But.. goals win games.

Interestingly the stats suggest differently, even though it may have felt like that. Funny old game.

[bobbo]

For me nothing more pleasing than a double over Brentford .

[Ludlow Richard]

And there was I having a nice glass of red to celebrate the win and I felt compelled to check. First double over Brentford since the 1947/48 season when we won 5-0 at home and 2-0 away.

I knew that you would know!   And sorry to interrupt the vino, you may now continue.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Wonderful absolutely wonderful, to win any match.
But a London Derby makes it that much sweeter.

[hopper]

What a bizarre season, but definitely a huge positive for us is that we've had some unbelievable moments in local derbies that mean the most.

Harry in particular has really written his name into folklore.

God it's nice to upset those Bees fans on a big day for them on their final home match of the season.

[Coastwalker]

Good second half,showed a bit of pride in getting back into it.
I've sent 10 texts to a Brentford friend,no replies.

[MisfitKid]

Wow, just wow.  I am glad I was sitting down to watch that one...

I was also surprised how many Snipers Brentford let in to watch the match... 

[Sgt Fulham]

Once again, Brentford are not a patch on Fulham.

On a related note, it's interesting to see the absence of certain posters on here...

Post subs we were excellent. TC ran the game for the first 25 mins of that second half. Wilson excellent again. Thought Raul worked his back side off and great header.  Adama great run and assist again.

Let's talk about Josh King. Talk on here that he won't sign a new contract because of playing time and he only has a year left. I've alway stuck up for AP especially when playing 10 but honestly can we just sell him for £20 million and tell Josh look you are fighting to start with ESR next season if you sign a contract. If neither work we still have Iwobi and Wilson who can play there.

Every time this kid plays for the first team he looks class. Actually looks a lot better for the first team than he does for the U21's which shows he has the mentality for this level. The decision to not get carried away and hold the ball when we were on the break shows the maturity. His runs, touches and spacial awareness is brilliant. How good is he going to be in the next few years?!

We have to keep him and if that means selling AP just do it Marco!! He prob won't but if we let him go for free because he hasn't been played enough I'll give up.

[hopper]

A few fun facts after today:

- We now have the most goals from substitutes ever in a PL season (but supposedly Marco is bad at subs)
- We have beaten our records point tally

We've shown again we fare better against teams above us in the league. Everything is upside down.

Think King made a difference, hopefully we'll be seeing him for a long time at Fulham.

3 really great goals - have seen them on Sky Premier Highlights :

[FFC1987]

Really needed that result and match to be honest. Been a bit deflated of late but seeing Cairney score, Adama assist, Raul look dangerous and King showing he's a real talent, it's give me some optimism for the future and less time to dwell on the ifs and maybes of this season. Up the Fulham. Brentford must bloody hate Wilson....
