A 10th minute goal from Marcus Bent won Town another three points and took them out of the bottom three. Fulham had a late flurry but created little in the way of clearcut chances in an attacking game played in soaking wet conditions, much like the match earlier in the season at Craven Cottage.
Town are being linked with Roda JC midfielder Garba Lawal. The left-sided player is coming to the end of his five-year contract, and it will not be renewed with his current club s sporting director Nol Hendrick having said that he can t be relied on due to his international commitments.
George Burley has reportedly denied the link with Jimmy Bullard of Peterborough United. Town have been linked with the former West Ham man for a while with the Blues claimed to be amongst a number of clubs claimed to be interested in the midfielder.
George Burley has turned down a loan approach from Colchester United for Wayne Brown. Before Christmas Burley also turned down a request from Norwich City for Brown.
