“What I retain in my mind about this game was the spirit of the team. They try everything to win the game,” said Nottingham Forest manager Vítor Pereira following the 0-0 draw against Fulham at the City Ground on March 15, 2026.
The match saw Dan Ndoye’s goal for Fulham disallowed by VAR, a decision that left the visitors frustrated. Fulham has been in strong form against Nottingham Forest, winning their last three encounters prior to this match.
Despite the draw, Nottingham Forest remains outside the relegation zone on goal difference, but their performance has been concerning, with only four points from their last 14 matches under Pereira.
Fulham, currently positioned in mid-table in the Premier League, came into the match after a disappointing loss to Southampton in the FA Cup. Harry Wilson made his return from injury, adding depth to Fulham’s attacking options.
Nottingham Forest’s struggles have been evident throughout the season, particularly in their inability to score. They had previously lost 1-0 to Midtjylland in the Europa League, where they registered a staggering 22 unsuccessful shots.
The match kicked off at 2:00pm GMT and was broadcasted on Sky Sports in the UK and Peacock in the US. Supporters expressed their concerns, with one stating, “You better not be saving him for Thursday,” referring to the team’s upcoming fixtures.
Pereira also commented on Taiwo Awoniyi’s performance, noting, “Taiwo created a lot of problems, a lot of problems,” highlighting the forward’s impact despite the lack of goals.
As Nottingham Forest continues to search for answers, the pressure mounts on Pereira to turn the team’s fortunes around. The next few matches will be crucial for their survival hopes in the Premier League.
Details remain unconfirmed.
