Great win last night!
Having said that, it was pretty even for the first half hour, with Fulham looking better than us. It was therefore a bit of a surprise that after we opened the scoring with the penalty, it was us that scored again five minutes later, rather than letting in an equaliser as we have done so many times this season.
Fulham crumbled after that and it was great to see Hemed knock in a hat-trick! Bruno's goal was very well struck.
Second place now and all to play for!
Looking forward to the QPR game on Tuesday.

A poignant minute's round of applause for the above fan at last night's game and good to see the QPR fans & bench joining in as well.
Of the four goals we scored, Knocky's first was a superb dead-ball strike. From where I was sitting, it was going in as soon as it left his foot.
Skalak's strike in the second half was excellent as well. There was a (very short) pause when it hit the back of the net as we realised that it had actually gone in and not been "sky-ed".
So, all we've got to do now is win our last three games to go up. Simples.................

Gulls saved by United loanee scoring in Fergie time.
HTH.
Does the draw make any difference if Burnley win? Maybe you have to beat Boro whatever?
Makes no difference to anything. HTH.

UNLESS Burnley lose both. Which won't happen.
Brighton need to beat Boro to go up. A draw will mean Boro go up.

Not many Seagulls among.
If you think that's bad. The Boro doesn't even have enough fans for a thread. I may be the only one. I'm absolutely terrified. Gonna be an emotional day for sure. Hope it's a good game too.

They don't have the Internet on Teesside...
But they do have a team in the Premier League! 
Hope Brighton make it up via the play-offs though. I'm a bit old school but it seems plain wrong to me that a team can finish 3rd after 46 games - 6 points clear of their nearest rivals - yet could still miss-out on promotion following what amounts to a short series of cup ties. In theory Brighton could go out of the play-offs to a team that finished 15 points below them in the league and I really hope that doesn't happen - daft system that even allows the possibility IMO but thems the rules I suppose....
