We scored from a corner!
Thought we played really well but as at Rotherham we failed to finish off enough chances.
Ikeme. 8. Not a lot to do 1st half. 2nd half commanded his box well and made one super low save.
Goldbourne - 7. Really solid, great energy levels. And has extra to do covering sako!
Doherty - 7. Cracking display. Maybe still lacks the calmness to play the perfect final ball. Overlapped reggie really well. Poor Sam , so emblematic of last season's marvellous renaissance, may struggle to displace his young rival.
Stearman- 8. Really good. Looks less rash than in previous seasons. One great comedy break which resulted in him thumping it out of play of cruyff like silly skills. Tackled, blocked and really complements the more agricultural Ba'ath.
Ba'ath 8 . Much better game than against Rotherham where I thought he had a rather torrid time up against a giant opponent.
Evans - 7. His best game of the three so far. One superb tackle 1st half seemed buoy his confidence. Plays some wonderful long passes. Great vision. Seems fitter than last season. Loses a mark for occasional sloppy play.
McDonald -9. Probably gets an extra mark for his hair. 1st half was wonderful. Like cook and downing and dennison all rolled into one.
Edwards. 7. Energetic! Was it his dummy for the goal? Gives his all, closes down. Can't be without him if playing 2 out and out wingers.
Sako - 6.
Lost two marks for a) bloody penalty miss and b) ridiculous dummy that let them break late in the piece. Looked out on his feet and would expect him to be rested at the weekend. You know if he was brilliant all of the time he'd be worth £100m. But he's not, so he's not! Frustrating! Links well with dicko.
Reggie Perrin - 8.
Ran his full back ragged! Brilliant at times. But, and it's a sako sized 'but' , he needs to learn to pass. Great potential and seems a cracking signing. Bit Forrest Gump .
Dicko 7- what a trier. Great reward in winning the penalty as he had a tough job tonight. Gets caught offside too often, doesn't get on the end of chances that fly across goal. Has great strength and pace.
Fans 9. great turn out as at Rotherham - louder today though (drunker?) . And nonstop noise.
Lose a mark for not having a great variety of tunes. Not that I have any great ideas!
Couple of other points- Fulham have good players, Parker ,even up against McDonald, looked classy ( although he undoubtedly slows their game down) but they remind me of us 2 seasons ago. Be great if magath stays the whole season as he can take them back to their proper place in the 3rd tier.
Our movement off the ball is exceptional.
Our team spirit brings a tear to this fat lad's eye.
Love Kenny's revival and if we can nab a quality striker we've got half a chance this season.
