Match Report

TTA report

An “impressive French trialist” (GH) (Oné) had a fine game and scored for Thistle. It was even until half-time but Fulham surprised Thistle (46) then 22 minutes later the trialist scored with a toe poke and was immediately substituted! The usual host of substitutes appeared but they made no impact.

Media report

28-Jul-2004, fulhamfc.com

Fulham's pre-season preparations moved north of the border on Wednesday evening as the Whites played the first of two friendly matches in Scotland. The two hundred or so Fulham fans who made the journey up were rewarded with their first glimpses of Tomasz Radzinski and Claus Jensen as both players made second half appearances. Fulham's first goal of the pre-season campaign came from a clinical Collins John finish but despite going close on a number of occasions, the Whites were unable to net the winning goal after the Jags equalised on the break. The first half was largely played to the customary pace of a pre-season fixture, with neither side forcing their opposing goalkeepers into significant action. New signing Andrew Cole, starting his first match for the Whites, fired wide in the first minute following a fine Fulham move. The front man did well to find the space required to get his shot away. On 16 minutes Luis Boa Morte ran on to Cole's cross and saw his well-struck shot pushed away for a corner. In fact Partick's defence was having some difficulty in containing the Portuguese winger as he frequently switched flanks - keeping the home side off balance. Fulham were also making good progress down the right wing with the impressive Darren Pratley and Liam Rosenior combining well. Yet in spite of Fulham's attacking threat, Partick continued to stick to their plan and on 21 minutes only a vital block from Pearce prevented a good opportunity for the home side. The second half saw Fulham emerge as much the brighter side as they visibly upped the tempo of their game. Collins John scored within minutes of the restart after he latched on to an incisive Sylvain Legwinski through ball that completely split the Jags' defence. The Dutchman finished impressively by taking the ball round Pinkowski with his first touch and slotting home with his second. The Whites almost doubled their lead when a Boa Morte cross was met by a magnificent header from Pearce. The ball seemed destined to find the net but somehow Pinkowski performed a remarkable feat of goalkeeping and turned the ball over. The home side equalised, somewhat against the run of play on 68 minutes when an unnamed trialist turned home a low cross following a sweeping move. But far from being disheartened, Fulham doubled their efforts in search of a winner. Unfortunately, through a combination of fine goalkeeping and pre-season rustiness the Whites did everything but score. Brian McBride, making his first appearance of the pre-season after reporting back late due to international duty, impressed in attack and provided his colleagues with a number of intelligent knockdowns. However, it was Claus Jensen's contribution that most caught the eye. The Danish international looked particularly impressive in midfield. He combined remarkably well with his new team-mates, was always looking to make himself available and used the ball intelligently.
