Our GD of -7 is exceptional, it won’t now be surpassed at the bottom, great to have that ‘extra point’ in the bank.

Hammer blow for Fulham, bigged up for 3 points and abject failure and they looked bad as well.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind

That Leeds No. 9 looks quite good. He’d look good in the stripes.
Correct. Reading some of their fans thoughts tonight, most fearing the worst, but some feel their best chance now is for us to win tomorrow and then they beat the Geordies at their place.
Hopefully lessons learned for some here who were bigging up Fulham as being better or as good as us.
There’s a reason they’ve been in the zone all season.

Obviously I hope you’re right, but I’m holding back from saying that we’re staying up, they’re down.
A win tomorrow and some other points gathering and I’ll be as confident as you.

Now he’s shown his EPL worth, it’s a nailed on he’ll chase the big wages.
Step forward Parish, Gold and Sullivan.
A 4 goal swing is hardly an extra point in the bag with 8 or 9 games to go , Man City game alone could make that a 2 goal swing . But -7 is a good number currently.

Every preview I saw this week of the Fulham v Leeds game backed a Fulham win and I wanted to say that it really seemed like a time when pundits were letting recency bias overcome sense, but didn't want to jinx anything by saying it aloud. Other than us and Wolves, Leeds have generally beaten the teams below them, but have mostly lost to the teams above them this season. It was never going to be easy for Fulham. I should add that I also worry that most seem to be calling tomorrow's game for us when we are the draw kings, never win at home and are playing a team that have been drawing a lot and will be setting themselves up not to concede. I don't fancy us to win, but I hope this time, that I have jinxed this prediction by saying it out loud.
Oh agree.. we’re not safe yet at all. Still got some work to do.
But we shouldn’t be scared of Fulham.

I took it as a bias to Fulham from pundits and writers who’d love their favourite second club to stay up.
At the same time irrationally dismissive of Leeds, who ended the $$$$Abramovich winning run, time and time again notching EPL wins.
Lovely to see any media narrative go down the pan.

My fear with Fulham was that their unprecedented changing of almost the entire team in October (as they embarked on an unprecedented buying and spending spree), gave them so much pace and guile up front.
Wins at Goodison and The King Power .... if only we could do that.
Their defence has been pretty good since they replaced their entire defence.
But like Newcastle, Albion, Stains and Burnley, they suffer from players not tucking away chances in the moment. Thank God.
As my Brentford supporting friend says: "they've borrowed a team, not built one". That is no basis for anything.

I hope he’s right.
Unlike the rest of NSC, I hope the spending and loaning spree experiment fails and they drop.
Future visits to Craven Cottage can wait.

Fulham had a 15 min spell at end of 1st half when they looked good other than that they were pretty average or poor. Still enough games for them to pick up points but a win for us tomorrow puts a 6 point gap which just adds the pressure on them and Newcastle.

Predictions of a Fulham win were fanciful. They are almost as poor at home as we are, and Leeds have performed exceptionally well against most of the teams below them (with one delightful exception). About the only thing in Fulham's favour was Leeds' poor record in London.
What I found weird this evening was Sky Sports insisting that Fulham had played brilliantly and been unlucky, even though Scott Parker himself admitted that the better team had won. If not for Leeds' abysmal defending at a corner, they would have strolled home. Kelly Cates even had the nerve to wonder if Parker had been watching the same game. I thought it was she who had seen something that nobody else had.
