    Brentford with 88th and 90th-minute goals to win 2-0.

    Fulham now 7 points behind Leeds for automatic promotion with 8 to play (Leeds has a game in hand), and 8 points clear of 7th-place Swansea.

    Lost 3-0, and they're going to be without Mitrovic for...a while after this incident was missed in the 2nd minute.

    O/T looks like Leeds is finally close to a return to the PL

    Their games are being studied around the world. It's perhaps the last great Bielsa 'Book'.

    Fulham went down 1-0 immediately (1') but fought back to win 1-2. Ream went the distance.

    I wonder if Ream feels a bit torn about the possibility of promotion.

    Because if they go up, he's going to get benched.

    Fulham may have saved their season with another very late goal, 1-0 final.

    Derby County and Notts Forest also had a wild finish, apparently.

    Highlights from yesterday:



    At 0:30, Ream contests a rebound which is sent off the post by the Birmingham City attacker he duels against. At 0:59, Ream carries the ball forward taking a bunch of open space before playing a square ball in the build up to a chance. Ream also steps forward, receives, and returns a square ball; pulling away a defender in the process; in the build up to the chance that follows.


    Fulham are now in 4th with a 9 point lead for a promotion playoff spot while sitting 7 points out of automatic promotion. They are away to 5th place Forest this Tuesday at noon eastern on ESPN+.

    Big match regarding playoff seeding today. On ESPN+ as well.

    A quick peek at the schedule/table shows, with five games remaining:

    Today @ Notts Forest (5th)
    Friday v Cardiff City (6th)
    Next Tuesday @ West Brom (2nd)
    Sat 7/18 v Sheffield Wednesday (15th)
    Wed 7/22 @ Wigan (16th)

    78 Leeds
    77 West Brom

    72 Brentford
    70 Fulham
    68 Nottingham Forest
    64 Cardiff City

    61 Derby County
    60 Swansea

    Just from a glance, automatic promotion (1st or 2nd) seems out of reach, even if Fulham runes the table. Falling out of the promotion playoff seems almost as unlikely, requiring a real implosion, but ...

    The losses to leeds and Brentford killed automatic hopes.

    A nice victory, 0-1, against a likely promotion-playoff opponent. Ream played from start to finish.

    Fulham tried to sneak one past us today. Ream started and played every moment in a 2-0 victory over Cardiff City, who are gravely at risk of dropping out of the top six.

    Mitrovic returned and opened the scoring with a PK.
