Heyup sports fans and welcome to Nobby's Notebook. I hope you've all dried out from last night ? It certainly was a wet one walking home to Park End for yours truly. 
Onto the game, the Boro defensive lineup was quite surprising and for once without our talisman Jones !! Chris Wilder's plan appeared to be to frustrate Fulham and hit them on the break and a tactic that seemed to be working up until the goal. I guess it's easy to say in hindsight that we should have selected more attacking wing back options from the start, but we would all have been happy with a 0-0 let's be honest....
On the other hand, perhaps we should really have been more offensive from the off. After all we did get a 1-1 draw away from home v Fulham on the opening day of the season under our previous manager (Neil)
Fulham are clearly a good side and have goalscoring options throughout. Harry Wilson looked lively and Tim Ream solid at the back. I like Rodak the goalkeeper while Kebano's introduction saw a ripple of applause.
However, I can't look any further than the Fulham goalscorer for my notebook choice this week guys.
Nobby's Choice No 9 Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Wow !!! What a goalscoring record the big Serb has this season. 38 goals in 37 appearances AND 7 assists. That's a goal every 85 minutes, truly incredible. And to think he spent most of last season on the bench when Fulham were struggling for goals in the Premier League. Strong, great in the air and a top goalscorer. Still only 27 with 44 goals in 71 apps for Serbia. The only thing blotting his copybook is his 3 year stint with Newcastle United
Dael Fry kept Harry Kane and Ronaldo quiet but could prevent Mitro from notching !
BREAKING NEWS....Several posters have messaged me asking if Nobby's Notebook will be continuing next season. I can exclusively reveal to all you early birds THAT IT WILLSomething for us all to look forward to....
