A great win tonight. A real challenge from a tough team in form and poor conditions. This was the sort of game we lost in the past. Throw in Bournemouth loosing makes it an excellent night.

A top championship winning performance, brilliant.
Bodies on the line, and a nose in Ream's case, no panic (although unsure why Rodak wasn't catching), slick play out of defence, and Mitro doing what he seems to be half decent at.......... perfect.
Now we need to sort out Coventry, I think the Cottage will give them the welcome they deserve.

Nearly there guys. Top goal on Wednesday, something they must have worked on. Need now to get revenge for that loss earlier in the season v Coventry.
If, Forest don't win today, we will be playing against Cov to put our feet into the EPL once more. With a GD of 38 better than Forest, we will be there.
So, our first home game in a month, and against Coventry, who cheated their way past us, although we collapsed to be fair soon after the dive. If gaining promotion wasn't enough, the bad taste from our defeat is purpose enough to give them a lesson, and a 4-0 home win would be the icing on the cake for me.
Irrespective of Forest's result, we then have our Good Friday game against Derby to seal the points, AND, I'm excited to say, Mrs 2WS and I have tickets to go .................. I can't wait. It's live on Sky too.......
Oh, and hopefully Sheff Utd can beat Bournemouth in today's early kick-off.

Coventry did a good man marking game on our dangerous front players, then took their chances, most of them given away by us to easily.
Didn't see it at the game, but later watching game back, Coventry 1st goal I wondered at the time why Rodak was in the back of the net, TV showed Coventry player had run into him obstructing him from getting to the ball.
Their second goal there was a Coventry player who fell down in an offside position that might have distracted Rodak to make him lose concentration.
But we didn't play well enough despite 28 shots to get 3 points needed.

Hopefully TC is starting tonight, we lacked some creativity and variation in our last game.
I'll be there but cannot predict what will evolve, so fingers crossed.

As usual, they made us sweat, but very pleased. Just need to get a result at Bournemouth now then start planning for the Premiership.
Everyone is hyped for the Bournemouth game. Should be a great game and if we win there I think title is ours. Parker is in for some stick.
Good thing this time we can recruit early. Don't want to totally change things but some quality is required in certain areas.

Mitro needs one goal to tie with Guy Whittingham's & 2 goals for the record of Top Championship scorer in a season and 3 goals to become Fulham's top scorer in a season. Need him to be on fire.
As Berbatov would say Pass Him the Ball.....

Not a bad days work!
Promoted as champions, Mitrovic breaking the post-war second tier goal scoring record, signing out with a great home win/title party... can't have gone much better. Time to focus on recruitment and for Silva to develop a playing style for the Premier League. Season ticket renewal from Wednesday, should be a good (and calmer) summer.

The ref put a stop to Luton kicking us, then the party began......
7 - 0, all great goals, wow, what an evening under the Cottage floodlights.
Thanks to Marco.

What a season. Will we ever see us beat 3 sides 7-0 in a season again? So Fulhamish to have a little wobble then come roaring back to confirm us as champions.
Our final game in the Championship today, and hopefully for a long while.
It would be great to finish on a high, perhaps not with seven goals though.
Transfer news and the EPL to be looking forward to, COYW's!
