Fulham’s goal of the month for October was Joo Palhinha’s thunderbolt against Brighton.
In a game where our midfielder was in command, Palhinha took it upon himself to collect the ball from Harry Wilson on the edge of the box and slam a shot into the back of the net to tie the game.
This month’s competition was tight, with Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s brilliantly finished team goal against Sheffield United edging Palhinha (13 votes).
Fulham FC Women’s Madi Parsonson and Sasha Adamson tied for third place with their goals.

Where do Fulham need to strengthen in January?
Jack Stroudley assesses the current state of the squad and areas for improvement.
We’re about a third of the way through the season, and so far it’s been mediocre at best. We expected a slight drop-off after last season’s success, but after an average summer transfer window, it’s felt really flat. There are undoubtedly gaps in this Fulham side that must be filled when the winter window opens in January, but where are those gaps?
This will be the shortest section of the article because I believe Fulham are very strong in this area. Bernd Leno is having another stellar season for us, ranking in the top 5% of European goalkeepers so far, and with Fulham’s xG against sitting at 19.1 (compared to the 17 we’ve conceded), his impact and importance cannot be overstated. Our rotational options are also strong, with Marek Rodak comfortably Fulham’s number two and Steven Benda gradually regaining fitness with appearances for our U21s.
