Only one on Fulham, they are shocking

I reckon they are gonna do a Fulham

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

Showed some signs of "reverting to type" at times, but the improved quality has made a difference.

Really hope we get a couple more in for even more lift.

Proud of Trez, his  attempt to win a penalty from himself was hilarious. lol

Only glimpses, but Troare looks like he can PLAY.

Watkins unlucky, and you hope his head doesn't drop, won't get easier for him though in the League, Van Dijk and co next. I'll admit that Jack annoyed me a few times for ignoring, bypassing or making an unnecessary decision not passing to him when Watkins was running onto position or screaming for it.

McGinn looks like he may very well be on the way back.

Cash is CLASS.

Job done, and this is probably a game we would have drawn or lost last year.

Picking up points against relegation favourites, lower end and under 10th teams will see us fine.

Great 1st half then took the foot of the gas in the second.

McGinn’s best game since coming back from injury.

Cash looks solid and Konsa is improving with every game. Martinez brilliant save which made us forget the fumble.

Still not sure about Watkins as main striker yet but early days.

Smith Out.

Thought Trez put in a real team performance.

Agreed. I think Trez rose to the occasion and ensured Traore had to wait to come on. 

[andym]

Very casual at 3-0, had good opportunities to add to the score but were not ruthless enough. Trying to be too clever at times.

Some of the 1 on 1 tackling in midfield was very poor, either rushing in and getting beaten, or standing off and allowing balls in. That needs to tighten up.

However, Mings and Konsa dealt with Mitrovic very well, and Cash's tackling and tenacity was impressive. Everything for Fulham came down Targett's side

3-0 away win

[TRO]

It was a really good win....but without the ball, we have work to do. We allowed them the ball far too much.

A Better team tonight, would have exploited that weakness.

but 3 points and thats all i care about.

Really good result that. 

Peculiar performance.

Individually a lot of players showed exactly the stuff we like about them, but collectively we were a bit off it.

I don't know if it's "just Fulham", but if we can play that poorly and win we're in for a good year.

Did you honestly think we played poorly?

[The_Steve]

We killed the game off in 15 minutes. The maturity and composure and mental energy to see through the rest of the game and keep a clean sheet is a testament to how they've turned it around.

Is it possible to be a bit underwhelmed with a 3-0 away win in the league?

Fulham are shit. Job done comfortable I guess but we didn't play that well with the ball. A but uninspiring.

This is so churlish and nit picky given the result I know. 

No, you're absolutely right.

We weren't great there. A very welcome three points to grab when not near our best.

Some real pissing about on the attack was the most annoying I think. Everyone sloppy at times at both 2-0 and 3-0.

6 from 6. Magnificent.

[Vive_La_Villa]

I thought Watkins did everything but score. They couldn’t handle his movement all game. Ran them ragged. Also his link play was superb.

Only Team in the league not to concede a goal.

It was such an easy win. Fulham never really threatened, luck with to get away with another clean sheet but we look decent defensively. 

I went for Cash as MOTM. Thought he was brilliant. 

Moments of the match came from McGinn, the pirouette in midfield and then the crunching tackle on Bryan. 

[Davkaus]

I really enjoyed a decent win in which I didn't feel like Grealish was carrying the entire team. He was good, but it wasn't like last season which was often embarrassing to watch.

These types of results start to make you look up rather than down. And that hasn't happened for us in the Premier League for about a decade.

I know what you mean but after last season I want more like this where we win when we haven’t played well.  We’ll play a lot better and lose so I’d rather the former feeling.  To win and play as we did means we are growing into a better team.

[Vive_La_Villa]

Do fans think we are going to go away from home and boss the game? That was a fantastic away performance. I’m really surprised by the negativity over how we played. We let them have the ball because we were 2-0 up and they could do f**k all with it. Leicester won the league playing how we did today. 
 

6 points, 2 clean sheets. Smile people
