'Diabolical' Nottingham Forest slammed after Fulham collapse

Nottingham Forest supporters have slammed their side's performance against Fulham after they lost 3-2 at the City Ground.

The Reds threw away a half-time lead for the second successive fixture at home to condemn Steve Cooper's side to their fourth-straight Premier League defeat. Taiwo Awoniyi netted his second goal for the club in the 11th minute, but that was as good as it got for Forest as Fulham turned the game around with three goals in six second half minutes.

Tosin Adarabioyo, Joao Palhinha and Harrison Reed all put past Dean Henderson after half-time to lift Marco Silva's men into sixth. The defeat leaves Forest in 19th, keeping them above their next opponents Leicester City by three points.

Lewis O'Brien scored a consolation with 15 minutes to go, but Forest failed to muster a final opportunity to draw level. The defeat is the second time in as many games that Cooper's side have failed to hold on to a lead at the halfway point after they allowed Bournemouth to come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 two weeks ago.

Following another defeat, Forest fans have been reacting to result in the East Midlands. Here's what they've said on social media...

@mrmarriott20: Yeah we’re going down

@Pathugh40: Starting to question things. Worrall, Cook and McKenna still our main back line? Cook and McKenna don’t have the pace to cope. O’Brien on the bench? He’s been one of our best players. Dennis coming on yet again with minutes to go!? Cmon Cooper, select the right players

@FiSpartacus: We will be a very different team in two months. Just hope we can sort out these obscene lapses in defence before we are lost at the bottom.

@Faamezz: 2 games second half we concede 3 goals from a winning position, For me Johnson is an amazing young talent but we do not see enough of him, he needs to get involved more in the games even if he’s running around for the ball. We just need to trust Cooper and the process.

@gmulvenna1980: Diabolical. O'Brien has to start. Some players will be questioning why they've bought into this project.

@edatack77: Still gotta stay behind Cooper, were so over achieving, give him time and hopefully we can scrappily stay up

@mattypacey2101: Don’t be fooled by tonight’s result I’ve watched Fulham last few matches and they’ll cause most teams a problem in the PL. Regroup and we go again the season doesn’t end in September last time I checked

@DoyenDJ: 14 goals in 4 games. 6 goals against teams that came up with us and insisting on the 3 at the back formation from the championship. If continued we will get battered every week. I expected some tough times this season but this after so many promising signings is way below par.

@NottyForest: Complete mess of a match. Team needs to turn around and quick. No more signings, far too much already.
