An away victory, at Carrow Road, extends Fulham`s unbeaten run, in the league, to seventeen games.
The Cottagers are in the kind of form that should serve them well if they, as we expect, participate in the Championship play-offs at the end of the season.
However, the performance wasn`t one of Fulham`s best, especially in a dour first-half.
After the game, Slavisa Jokanovic, in his post-match media interview, had this to say to the attentive press hacks,
‘I thought we looked a little bit tired at times. These sort of games immediately after the international break are never easy because we always have a lot of players travelling around the world but it’s a good win and now we look forward to Leeds.
‘We just have to keep picking up good results and then see what happens in May. But I am not worried about that now, it’s only the next game I am thinking of.
‘We know we need some help from Wolves and Cardiff but if they give us some help then we have to be in a position to take advantage.’
Personally, I doubt we`ll catch the top-two, the gap is too large with the number of games left decreasing.
As for the Norwich City boss, Daniel Farke, he had this to say about the game to the press hacks,
‘Fulham were able to score the first goal. From there, it was difficult.
‘They are the best team in the league at the moment. We had situations to score but weren’t effective.
‘I’m happy with our commitment, fighting spirit and performance. Sadly, we didn’t get the result which is the credit.’
Thanks for the compliment, let`s hope Fulham continue to be the best team in the league all the way through to the play-off final and beyond.
