Stefan Johansen was pleased to be able to influence proceedings on Friday night, and now has his eyes on a fifth successive win.
The popular midfielder stepped off the bench and within six minutes had teed up Josh Onomah for the decisive second goal against Cardiff City.
“It was a brilliant finish, the way he takes it on,” Johansen said of his teammate. “He showed his quality right there. A great, great finish from Josh.

“Obviously every player wants to start the games, but we’re in a good shape at the moment. We have a massive squad, full of good players, so when you get a chance from the bench you try to make an impact in the game.
“I felt like I managed to do that quite well against Cardiff. It was good to get an assist as well, it’s always nice to help the team like that. It was a good game for the whole team.”
Tuesday’s trip to West Bromwich Albion could be a pivotal fixture in the automatic promotion hunt.
Victory for Fulham would move us two points behind the Baggies, but a defeat would mean we could finish no higher than third.
“The only thing we are focused on is winning the remaining three games and seeing where it takes us in the end,” Johansen stated. “We were a bit unlucky in the first two games against Brentford and Leeds, they could have ended up differently if we were a bit more clinical, but that’s the way football is.
“We’re on four wins in a row now, and we want to make it to seven and see where that takes us. We want to go there tomorrow to win the game and put pressure on them for the last two games, because then obviously they will feel us [breathing down their necks].
“You never know in football, I think there are still some exciting moments left in the season.

“We’ve been there before in the last few seasons in the Champ where we’re chasing during the season and you can see different teams finding good form. You see Brentford now in really good form, so [West Brom] will definitely be feeling the pressure.
“We need to go there tomorrow and win, then it’s only two points between us with still two more games to play, and you never know what could happen from there.
“We just need to go there with the same mindset that we’ve had the last four games, and take the confidence from those matches as we go there to try and win the game.”
The Hawthorns is a ground Johansen knows well having spent the latter half of last season on loan there.
It’s a team he clearly has plenty of respect for. Not that there will be any room for sentimentality on Tuesday.
“I think West Brom is a great club,” he said. “I had a good six months there, although unfortunately we didn’t get to the Premier League.
“There are good guys there, and they’ve got a very good manager now as well, so I’m not surprised to see them up there.
“But that’s a part of the past now. Since coming back to Fulham, I’ve always had my mind on Fulham. I really enjoyed being at West Brom, but Fulham is everything now.
“I always have an eye on West Brom, but Fulham is the team for me. I’ve had a few seasons here now and it feels like my home.”
