Post Match Thread: Nottingham Forest 0 - 1 Fulham

We MUST buy Harrison Reed, he is excellent as an all round midfielder

A performance with a few goals on Friday against Cardiff and surely there will be no one on this site calling for Parker's head.

Excellent team performance. Sensible team selection given who was available and good use of subs. No complaints from me.  Yes, of course I want us to win 3 or 4 nil and do it in style, but runs like this breed confidence.

The players took their own responsibility. Instead of always looking for Cairney it gave them more opportunities to express themselves. Our general play was at a higher tempo than normal.Parker & the squad had so little time to plan for this match without Cairney. Well done to Parker, the squad & coaching staff.

[RaySmith]

Well done Scott and the  team - everyone  involved played a part in this win.
The subs, Knock and  Stefan really put in shifts, Knock  tackling back , and making crucial defensive  headers, while Stefan  ran  half the length of the pitch to close down their keeper, who panicked and put the ball out of play in the crucial closing minutes.

Shows the spirit running through this squad.

COYSW!!!

Very professional performance against a danger team without key players. I'm not rising to the Parker oUt commentator but more wins like this and Parker will have ample support! Upwards and onwards.

I aim to please and have a dig whenever I can ;) I love all of you dearly (seriously) no matter opinions - we are all Fulham ain't we!?

Bit of a downer. Brentford now 2-1 up

[Fernhurst]

As Lighthouse has been saying for years and years.

IT's THE HOPE THAT KILLS YOU

Those few minutes before Brentford equalised against Charlton were tantalising bliss.

[Andy S]

Brentford are the one team I fear in the play-offs so let them go up automatically.

I have a feeling in my water that Brentford will get auto & we will beat WBA in the Final.

That's how to win ugly!
Credit to all the players
Credit to the manager

:plus one:

Ugly, gritty football...but enough to beat the likes of Forest (who were on form).   I'm good.

[Skatzoffc]

Don't change a winning team.

We are far too predictable with Mitro and Cairney.
Simple as.

We MUST buy Harrison Reed, he is excellent as an all round midfielder

Agreed.

For me he is the new Murphy.

[Carborundum]

Thought we played well.  Onomah particularly seemed to revel in the battle and saw more of the ball.  His best game for us.   With the upper hand in the battle for midfield, other things went well too, particularly in defence.  Whilst our attack found it difficult we know from the Cottage that Forest can defend very capably and their right back is brilliant.  Arter's goal was a marvel.  To go from sat on backside to left foot curler in heartbeat is some footballing instinct.  All in all, a quality performance

At 3 o'clock this afternoon, I was going to post "Top scorer suspended, captain injured, not playing our best football, against a team bang in form - what could possibly go wrong". Now enjoying a seafood risotto dinner with a nice glass of white, with a substantial slice of humble pie on the side. After 60+ years of supporting the Whites, what else could I have expected!

Well done for posting 👍

[RoyTund]

I have been very critical of parker's tactics this season but credit tonight, thought he played it very well.

[St Eve]

2 post lockdown games with Mitro-2 defeats.
3 games without Mitro-3 wins

What to do with the next ream selection?

Mitro starts of course

[Arthur]

We are far too predictable with Mitro and Cairney.
Simple as.

I don't recall us creating anything more than one opportunity (and far from clear cut, at that) inside our opponents' box in the entire game. This suggests we didn't spring too many surprises on Forest.

[AnOldBrownie]

We MUST buy Harrison Reed, he is excellent as an all round midfielder

Agreed.   

I also want Josh Onomah to get/stay in shape.   I think he has a ton of potential at the #10 spot.  (even if we're playing a 4-3-3)
