Brighton winner 'illustrated our current woes'
We can have no complaints about Saturday. It was not the best game and there was not much between us on the day, but Brighton had the ball in the net twice - and those narrow escapes should have provided the wake-up calls we needed. However, the loss is a tough one because before kick-off there was just one point between us. Now, Brighton's win has created a gap in the race for the top eight. Many of us could see it coming. I spoke last week about narratives; we were unbeaten in nine games against the Seagulls and a lot of us thought it would be "Fulhamish" to lose when it mattered most. And what a way to do it. A 98th-minute penalty, conceded by Harrison Reed, who only came on 15 or so minutes earlier. It is unfair to level too much criticism at the midfielder - he was played like a fiddle by Joao Pedro, who won the penalty and duly scored it. But Reed is an illustration of our current woes. Our squad is too thin and we lack the quality in depth. Harrison was a magnificent part of our march to the Championship in 2022, playing in 39 of our 46 league games. But the 30-year-old is a level below where we want to be and will likely leave in May in search of the regular first-team football he deserves. This points to a busy summer. If reports are believed, we are likely to lose Antonee Robinson at the end of the season, continuing the recent trend of losing our best player every summer and leaving us needing replacements or reinforcements across almost every position on the pitch. Despite all this, we sit 10th in the league with more wins than losses. That is testament to Marco Silva. So perhaps it is not so bad after all. Find more from Drew Heatley at Fulhamish

'It's been the most magic season to be a Fulham fan'
Fulham fan Sammy James says the club's FA Cup penalty success against Manchester United was another "magic" moment in what has been the "most magic season to be a Fulham fan".Speaking about the victory on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, the host of the Fulhamish podcast said: "It was so stressful - I've got one of those watches which tracks your heart rate and I looked at it afterwards and it reached 155 [bpm] - I might need to go see the doctor."It was worth it, the whole game put me through the ringer in the away end. I'd fully resigned myself to the fact we've lost to Manchester United in a lot of different ways over the years and we were going to add a penalty shootout to the list."Sometimes we struggle to manage the occasion but overall Fulham were the better team. They are a better football team than Manchester United at the moment."It's just about getting over the line and the demons of throwing it away two years ago at United can't be understated. To come over that and get past it was a huge sense of achievement."Speaking about the the possibility of Marco Silva's side going even further in the competition, James added: "There are four teams that have never won the FA Cup. I'm really happy Fulham are in that mix."If you'd have offered me at the beginning of the season a last-eight tie at Crystal Palace for the chance of a trip to Wembley I'd have definitely taken that."It's exciting the fact that the usual big-hitters aren't there. There is a team like Fulham that are probably at least going to get to a final."
