I got a ticket last minute for today. We were pretty good. I thought Elliott Bennett was very impressive at RB and we looked a real force down the right hand side. Managed to look away and miss our 4th goal though!

Very true - I was thinking this after the results sunk in

Turned out to be a good game in the end, despite the fact that nothing happened for the first half an hour or so. You could tell Fulham didn't have anything to play for, and you could also tell that there was no real pressure on us either. First time in my lifetime we've beaten Fulham but it was overshadowed really by the drama about who we'd face in the semi-finals of the play-off's.
Some brilliant goals in this game as well, Redmond's goal was superb and it's a shame that we haven't seen him do that more often this season. Johnson's second as well was an absolute thunderbolt. His header as well was an absolute belter He thoroughly deserves the player of the season award, and with 15 goals from midfield I'm amazed he hasn't been named in any of the 'Team of the Season' awards. Have to say I'm surprised Hoolahan came second in the POTS vote, I personally would have Jerome 2nd and Tettey 3rd, I think Wes on the whole has been good, and he has put in some truly fantastic performances. But at the same time there has been quite a few games where he's been very poor. He's had a great season but I wouldn't have him in the top 3.
I also thought the players who came in today were very good, particularly Elliott Bennett, who with the exception of a few poor headers didn't put a foot wrong. O'Neil was very assured on the ball and didn't give the ball away once, and Redmond obviously got a goal and 2 assists, so can't complain his contribution either, although I thought there were too many occasions where he held onto the ball for too long. I also thought that Odjidja-Ofoe showed a bit of quality when he came on. Looked a bit rusty initially but he gradually grew into the game and I was quite impressed with him by the end. I think if we don't go up he could be a big player for us next season if we can keep him fit. For Fulham I thought Patrick Roberts looked very lively when he came on down the right hand side, but apart from him I didn't really think they had any stand out players.
Great that we go into the Ipswich games on the back of a win and good performance, let's just hope that extends now to next Saturday.
