Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira, speaking to Sky Sports after their goalless draw with Fulham: “Very happy with my players, we gave everything on the pitch. Happy with our supporters, they tried to help us until the end. The spirit of the team and the players from the bench. This is not a speed race, this is a marathon until the end. This was a chance to get the three points but the next game is another chance.
"We needed to refresh the team to put more energy in. They are players who are strong one-on-one. Dan Ndoye is fast in the space and Taiwo was fantastic. This is the spirit I want to see in my players.
"I like wingers one against one. They are players who can be danger players. Morgan Gibbs-White is more of a player to play inside and play between the lines. They have different skills.
"We played three days ago, raining, heavy pitch and today they try everything to get three points. The result is difficult to control but we can control what we do on the pitch or we can show the spirit to win the game. I am happy with them.
"It will be tough until the end. The decision will be at the end I think. I hope we can get points to escape the relegation zone. Tottenham, West Ham, and Leeds are good teams."

- Nottingham Forest have now failed to win any of their last seven Premier League home matches (D4 L3) since a 3-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur in December 2025 under Sean Dyche. This is their longest run without a victory at the City Ground in the top flight since a run of 16 between September 1998 and April 1999, in a season in which they were ultimately relegated.
