A knee injury of the worst kind for Ryan Kent
68 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Fulham lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

No sign of nerves from Josh King at 20 — 7.66
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Josh King did not need any: 7.66, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Nobody wants to play Fulham right now
4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Graduation day at Fulham
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Tempers go at Fulham
Josh King was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Ninety minutes of Calvin Bassey at his very best
Marked 9.12. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Fulham.

Todd Cantwell sends Fulham past Ipswich Town
It finished 2‑0, and it was Todd Cantwell’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Fulham.
In brief
