A few questions had been asked of us so far and they were answered.
The holding midfield role was handed to John Eustace for the first time this season and he carried on from where he left off last season. The midfield was much more better balanced!
Keogh and Buxton had better games at the back and Johnny Russell had a great game playing to the left side of Chris Martin.
The first goal was well worked and saw Jamie award hit his third goal in two games. Ward was a revelation and he should have the few haters off his back.
I thought that during the first half Fulham looked like they had come to give us a game. They certainly moved the ball about nicely and to be honest had worked quite well when Scott Parker got them an equaliser.
The response from Derby was immediate though. Chris Martin had gone close before Bryson knocked in his first goal of the season. Chris Martin then hit his second and third goals of the campaign and Fulham went to pieces.
It was great to see Simon Dawkins score the fifth! He's had a tough time so far, so maybe this will help inject a bit of confidence into him.
Will Hughes played a vital part when he came on including being involved in the build up to two of the goals and he looked so much better in an attacking role.
Hopefully we can move on now and build on this result.
Fulham have some good talented young players, but I feel that Felix Magath will be heading for the exit door very soon. They need a manager who can get the best out of this team. Tony Pulis anyone?
On to Charlton at home in the League Cup on Tuesday night and the visit of Ipswich on Saturday!
