Nottingham Forest 3-1 Fulham - the look back
Our woes on the road continue as the Whites fell meekly to a resurgent Forest side.
It’s difficult to complain too much about this season, but that was crap, wasn’t it?
Fulham surrendered to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, losing 3-1 and finally leaving 12th spot by dropping to 13th.
We were two down after just 19 minutes. Callum Hudson-Odoi scored early on, turning our defence easily, before Chris Wood was allowed to score from distance. It was enough for Marco to make a treble substitution on 33 minutes - the second-earliest that’s ever happened in the Premier League.
It wasn’t immediately effective; Morgan Gibbs-White made it three before half-time. Our goose was cooked. A Tosin Adarabioyo header four minutes into the second half gave us one back, and although it preceded an uptick in performance, it was a low bar, and we never looked like changing the result.
At least we’re back at the Cottage next. You Whites.
What they said
Marco Silva: Disappointing. Performance first half was that we were not there at all. That is the reality. The reaction was there in the second half but we woke up too late.
Willian: I think our first half was poor. To be honest, we didn’t play the way we wanted to play and they were much better than us in the first half. And then in the second half, we tried to have more control of the game and we tried to create some chances but it wasn’t enough to get something from the game tonight. Now we have to think about what we did and try to improve ourselves.
Dan Cooke: Ultimately we shouldn’t be too bothered, because that result doesn’t really affect us. However, travelling around the country watching these guys, a performance like that isn’t acceptable or fair to the fans, need to fix up. Mixed emotions...
