The 2016/17 season will go down in Fulham's history as one of positivity and hope, despite that cruel Play-off semi final defeat at the hands of Reading.
Finishing sixth in itself was a magnificent achievement considering the club finished fifth bottom the season before - this season Slavisa Jokanovic's side accumulated 29 more points and scored 19 more goals, all without Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembele.
The target was to get into the top six and the team achieved that, with some stunning results along the way including the 5-0 wins over Reading and Huddersfield, as well as the 3-1 win up in Newcastle.
Now, as we prepare to say goodbye to the 2016/17 season and look ahead to what the new season will bring to the Cottage, we've run down the defining games of the campaign as we review the 2016/17 season.
