Fulham Football Club are the
top club in the Nationwide league.
Well what can you say other than
CHAMPIONS.
The Whites competed at every moment, did not dignify a blind Ref with argument,
played brilliant football and scored three good goals. Luis Boa Morte was deservedly
man of the match with an outstanding performance.
It seems wrong to select other performances as the whole team played well but
what a game from Maik Taylor. Some are quick to complain when he is not able
to save a shot but today he kept Fulham in the game with a fantastic save from
Watford's goal machine Tom Mooney.
There is no doubt now we are champions in waiting. Roll on the Premiership.
The Fulhamweb prediction
for this match was 2-0 to the Cottagers with a crowd of 15750. The actual result
was 3-1 to the Super Whites in front of a season best crowd of 18,333.
Bolton won away at Sheffield Wednesday so stay 7 points away in second spot
while West Brom beat Sheffield United 2-1 despite a debut goal from Paul Pescisolido
on loan from Fulham. Steve Hayward also scored a debut goal for Barnsley although
finishing on the losing side. Birmingham were to play on Sunday against Blackburn
but snow intervened and put off another Birmingham game
Say ... We are top of Division One after just over half of the campaign,
have lost only two game, have the best goal difference and the leading scorer
in the Premier and Nationwide leagues.
