Nothing expected from this game against free scoring Fulham but Town pulled off the shock. We dug in deep to defent and see if we could snatch anything at the other end and it worked a treat. The one good attacking move resulting in Danny Ward nipping in and snatching a lead on 31 minutes. Then again against the run of play Town broke away and THomas won a dubious penalty which Holmes despatched to send in 2-0 up at half-time. The second half was all Fulham as they pressed to get back into the game but Town defended well and if we had of looked after the ball better on the odd brake away we could have gone 3 up. In the end Fulham snatched a late goal but Town comfortably held on.
