Last 15’ or so were bonkers.

The keeper mistake on the first goal was really, really bad. Bad position, wrong footed, etc. Yikes.


Won relegation, but will likely lose his job.

Defenders are relatively cheaper than attackers, and a 33-year-old mostly-Championship-level lifer is a key target for buying a replacement.


'keeper abandonned station, was cheating on the cross ....

Word from the Fulham camp is that they had identified that tendency reviewing film.

Joe Bryan sold it well, was looking everywhere but the goal and then buried it from 38-40 yards.

Initially on the live-stream I thought the ball had gone into the side netting.

We've got Bryandinho !!!


Yep

My son and I were watching and thought the same thing - side netting. Just couldn't believe a low shot like that made it past the keeper from that far out.


About that first goal... (I didn't see the game.)

It would be worth £135m to Fulham, £160m to Brentford.

Don't ask me why the money would be different.

When teams are relegated back to Championship they get a bit of residual/parachute money for they first few years unless they earn promotion. I assume that's the difference here.


Precisely *
