    The game today

    In the same way I try not to get too down when we lose (not easy), I’m not going to get carried away by today’s result even though it was a good’un.
    Fulham were woeful even considering they had 10 men. I was concerned looking at their line up but they played with zero fight or effort especially in the first half.
    Our lads got the job done but there’s much to work on in attack.

    MOM for me was Eddie Howe again. He sometimes picks starting line ups that leave you scratching your head but then we play well. I think he did a number on the Fulham coach today (who’s no slouch).

    Yep. I raised my eyebrows at the starting line-up but wasn't perturbed-well, other than seeing Murphy's name as a starter. I just thought 'Eddie's got a plan'.

    My guess is big Joe was being rested or possibly wasn't 100 % and the same for Targett.

    How did you watch it? I never had trouble finding a decent stream when watching the free flowing dynamic Bruceball but matches that aren't on BT Sport or SkySports i'm struggling to get a reliable stream lately

    Looking forward to MOTD mind

    Eddie said in his BBC interview there has been "illness in the camp" which could explain their absence from the starting lineup

    He also said Maxi trained yesterday so fingers crossed he's back for Brentford

    Big Joe apprently had a knee strap on, so best to rest him where we could.

    In Brazil, mate. It’s probably the most obscure of the espn channels but that’s the second of our games shown on it this season.
