All 3 points and should have been all three last match too but for haggis hands, great start to the season given all the uncertainty. After the transfer window closes and we know who we have in the building then we can really kick on and with two more league games this month there's room for a bad result yet too UTT!
Start we have had reminds me somewhat of West ham when they came down, throughout the season they never mullered anyone, sneaking wins along the way and ended up going up with a flukey win in the play offs, don`t think my ticker could take a season like that ffs ! Very interesting comments by Brucie in after match interview re incomings and outgoings, and as mentioned Gray and Gayle appear to be out of our reach in that we need to generate cash before he can spend. Makes you wonder where the money has gone from the sales so far, got to say although he was very professional in the interview you could sense his frustration.
Hernandez was very decent - him and Akpom look very handy together! Didn't see a fumble by McGregor for the Fulham goal - thought he came out well and was a tidy finish from the Snail!
If AA is keeping the change in his back pocket you can't really blame him considering his position. he's probably thinking of an exit strategy and the lack of guarantee of prem return will mean he has to think of something else
Akpom looked shattered - Hernandez needed game time, think we looked for versatility with Clucas on the left.
He came out well for it, one of those things i wouldnt blame him. Aluko ****ed up for the goal couldnt hold onto the ball.

That's what we thought -someone in the SW was giving Aluko the bollocking of a lifetime, and then left before his goal!
aluko what was he thinking, facing our goal! good winner though great play from hayden and a super setup from jelly
I haven't seen it since, but at the time I thought McGregor was "fouled" when he came for that cross. Not a proper foul but one of those goalkeeper fouls you always see given (or as Andy Gray used to call it - The Rafa Benitez rule).
Think it might have been due to the massive hole in the centre of midfield. O'Hara (fat and past it) and Cairney were getting time and space. Hayden came on and was sharper at closing down and playing on the front foot. A positive change.
Thought we totally dominated 1st half but when we are on top that much we have to score more than once. Any decent Championship team are going to have a spell and we nearly threw 2 points away. Positive substitutions saw both Hayden and Jelavic involved in the winner which I though we just about deserved overall.
Yes they seemed to celebrate the win together. Good to see Jela being interested tonight. Great knock down for the winner
