I don't think we played badly, we scored three quality goals, they got a lucky goal from a set piece. Sidwell elbowed our key 'defensive mid' and reduced his effectiveness. At times in the game we played badly, but overall it was a decent performance, and a fantastic result against a team that beat us 4-0 last time out at the Cottage, and have generally given us trouble at their ground this century.
I remember them roughing us up in the days of Barry Hayles, almost always they put up a spirited, fighting performance against us at the Cottage. It's a massive major plus, that we now have the defensive strength and cutting edge to overcome them. I remember we cut them to pieces in a 3-3 a few years back, we performed brilliantly, went 3-1 up (Jol was manager IIRC), played practically all the football, then they fluked one in and it ended up 3-3. Did people concentrate on our sensational performance, no. It was mainly about us dropping two points.
so in fact we've scored more in the second half, when we're supposed to 'tire' than in the first half which we tend to dominate.
, good moves I agree, but lucky with the finishes you could say. Our attempts to go forward were anything but sensational this time, a ground out result for me, nothing wrong with that either. My use of the word bad, is only in comparison to some of the Rolls Royce football we've seen this season. 
Whereas their goal came when one of our own players headed it against another of our players, under pressure granted, and a deserved goal for Fulham. But nevertheless their goal didn't have the quality any of our goals had.
