Charlton (from): Myhre, Spector, Hreidarsson, Sorondo, Perry, Powell, Rommedahl, Kishishev, Euell, Holland, Thomas, Hughes, Ambrose, D Bent, M Bent, Bartlett, Bothroyd, Andersen. Fulham (from): Niemi, Rosenior, Knight, Pearce, Bridge, Malbranque, Diop, Elliott, Boa Morte, Helguson, McBride, Crossley, Warner, Volz, Goma, Radzinski, John, Christanval, Legwinski, Pembridge, Elrich, N Jensen, C Jensen. Fulham's Line up for me: Niemi Voltz Goma Pearce Bridge Steed Papa Elliot Boa HH McBride
He injured his thigh in training a few weeks ago...still hasn't been able to recover. Thus Pearce and Knight have been our CB's.
Fulham take all three points in this crucial match, 2-1. Boa Morte with the brace!! COOMMEEE OONN YYOOOUU WWHHITTEESS

Eyewitness report from a neutral oberver (I was in London this past week): Fulham looked pretty good in attack, shaky in the back. The equalizer from Charlton was bound to happen, considering how poor most clearances were. Boa Morte was a monster. Both goals were quality The keeper for Fulham came up HUGE in the second half, making some incredible saves, some at point-blank range. Neither team owned the midfield--it was choppy throughout the match. A very clean game overall. It began raining, with a bit of wind, in the second half, so the long ball got played a lot; high passes frequently got blown off course. Fulham battled hard, and in my opinion deserved to hold on for the win. Craven Cottage is a great place to watch a match. The crowd was friendly and good-natured.
Not one of our better matches but I've seen plenty of games where Fulham were definitely better but came away with nothing. I definitely agree with you regarding Craven Cottage. One of the most unique and intimate grounds in the prem.
