It is a good signal that they nonetheless acquired the consequence they wanted at Craven Cottage however they solely acquired again into the sport when Tyrique George got here on with about 12 minutes to go – they’d not have gained the sport with out him.

Nicolas Jackson has not scored since mid-December however their important man is Cole Palmer and, for a number of weeks now, he has not been firing in any respect.

They acquired the job completed on Sunday as a result of a younger child got here off the bench to rescue them, however you must assume that to make the highest 5 they must get Palmer scoring once more.
