Nearly Live! v Fulham

[Steve from Oz]

Well here we are, the last game of the season scheduled Championship matches to determine who gets and does what.

Let's just hope that we dont continue to suffer the sorry tale of Fulham last match syndrome.

Two seasons on the trot we have had lousy last matches to play.

Want something better next year.

Not sure how this thread will go as most are at the match and no feed
