Sometimes, things just need to click.
After a slow start, it is safe to say things have certainly kicked into gear in SW6.
Our FA Cup win against Middlesbrough made it seven unbeaten in all competitions. We are climbing the Premier League and we once again have a cup to dream about.
Things are certainly clicking for Harry Wilson, who is shaping up to have his most influential season in a white shirt. That is some claim after he recorded 10 goals and 19 assists in our romp to the Championship, but Saturday gave him 11 goal involvements in as many games, including our first in the tie and he added an audacious assist for Kevin's first Fulham goal in added time.
To think that he was reportedly allowed to talk to Leeds in the summer. I am not sure where we would be without him.
Things are finally starting to go Emile Smith Rowe's way too. Bought as our record signing in 2024, he has endured a slow start at Craven Cottage and lost his place to academy graduate Josh King at the start of this campaign.
Smith Rowe was brought back into the starting XI a month ago in a tactical change and has kept his spot for this run, with King since being sidelined with an injury. Emile is showing the quality we paid for in the 10 role and was rewarded with a goal on the weekend.
The aforementioned Kevin rounded off the scoring in round three. Having taken the record signing mantle from Smith Rowe, our exciting Brazilian has done everything but put the ball in the back of the net, and you could see the relief in his celebration.
With a host of players set to return from the treatment table, alongside our Nigerian trio who are still taking Afcon by storm, all the cards seem to be falling into place at the most important time. And that is very exciting indeed.
