Just back....
I fate Fulham Football Club, they had a whole stand closed tonight, they made as little effort off the pitch as their side seemed to make (2nd half certainly) on it and yet again they deal us with a killer blow.
The thing I was actually thinking at 2-2 though was 'not extra-time' which I think says everything really, winning at Fulham tonight would have paled in to irrelevance had we lost at Cheltenham on Sat'Day in my opinion. We are to get promoted this year - that's all any of us want.
So, on to my view of players' performances, but prior another word for the Blue Army who again sang all night, suppported the players and in the Max Gradel song have totally out-done themselves. In all, tonight made me feel that the green shoots are there. And BG, sorry pal, Chris Powell looked very tidy...
Martin - 8 Not at fault for anything, coped well when needed to.
Gilbert - 8 Good performance, skilful and fast, looked far happier when Gradel came on in the second half
Morrison - 7 Would like to see the goals, I think perhaps a few lessons learned for him tonight, but still solid. Arguably the best CB I have seen at the club for a while.
Tunchev - 7 Gave away some needless free-kicks, but grew as the game went on, another solid looking player.
Powell - 8 Good debut, square pegs and that, good distribution and started linking with Dyer well
Dickov - 9 Mainly for his second half performance when NP threw him up front alongside Howard, for me this is the pairing to get us up.
King - 7 Dropped off Bullard too much, but took goal well, and some of his passing was sublime.
Wesolowski - 7 Good to see him at it again, however both second half Fulham goals needed midfielders defending better for my money
Dyer - 8 Excellent player, exciting, quick and not afraid to have a go...
Howard - 9 MOTM, absolutely brilliant. Got to every header, distributed well, unplayable front-man when he's like that.
Fryatt - 6 Dreadful.

Gradel - 8 For the impact, pace and skill. Special.
