Fulham

ADAM SHERGOLD: Mark Robins brought his team to Craven Cottage and told them to do something most visitors don't think - or dare - to do.

They didn't give them a moment's peace in midfield and when the hosts started to pepper their goal after half-time, they dropped back, dug in and remained intact. At the other end, Carvalho headed wide from Harry Wilson's cross. Fulham have too much in attack not to respond. Callum O'Hare and Gustavo Hamer also enjoyed superb games, the former wrapping it up deep into stoppage time. Six points and seven goals scored against the champions-elect in two matches, just one conceded. Hamer pinched the ball in midfield and ran into the box before forcing Rodak into a low save. Rodak looked to have it covered but somehow allowed the ball to bobble over him and in. There appeared little on when the Swede collected the ball on the edge of the Fulham box but he worked space to shoot from 20 yards. But Coventry were undoubtedly the brighter team and they left the Cottage stunned with two goals in the space of four minutes. It's always one of football's great curiosities. Fulham suffered a shock home defeat in the Championship against a resilient Coventry side Fulham have led the Championship since mid-January and turned the title race into a procession.

Championship side Fulham have managed to negotiate a £7.7m fee with Premier League outfit for the services of Fabio Carvalho in the summer, as per a report ...

Generating £5m in revenue up front may not be great for a player of the 19-year-old’s potential – but they won’t face the agony of battling for compensation in the summer and there’s the potential to make more money from him in the future with these add-ons. From the Cottagers’ point of view, there’s little point in having him in the English capital if he isn’t committed to the cause and considering they probably offered him generous terms to stay put, they may not have any regrets in terms of not being able to tie him down to fresh terms. In fairness, he may not even make the grade at Anfield and may be sold on because of this, giving the Cottagers a decent windfall if they did manage to insert a sell-on clause with the Reds unlikely to sell him on the cheap.

Sky Blues boss Mark Robins has made one change to the side that faced Nottingham Forest midweek for today's trip to Craven Cottage.

Dom Hyam captains the side again today in the absences of Matty Godden, Kyle McFadzean and Liam Kelly. Jordan Shipley misses out today through an illness, so Cian Tyler is named on the bench. Sky Blues boss Mark Robins has made one change to the side that faced Nottingham Forest midweek for today’s trip to Craven Cottage.

Michael Rose, Viktor Gyokeres and Callum O'Hare were on target for the Sky Blues.

Coventry were not finished as an attacking force and Maatsen’s shot was deflected over the bar by Williams, but it was Fulham who scored the third goal after 82 minutes. But he was helpless as Neeskens Kebano hit the crossbar with a flying volley from a cross by Neco Williams. But goals from Michael Rose and Viktor Gyokeres put Coventry 2-0 ahead at the break and, despite Fulham substitute Bobby Decordova-Reid pulling one back with eight minutes to go, Callum O’Hare netted a third in added time.

Premier League-bound Fulham suffered a surprise defeat at Craven Cottage, where awful errors by Marek Rodak and Tim Ream were punished.

And Coventry sealed their win when Hamer capitalised on Ream’s stumble by laying the ball across for O’Hare to score with a simple tap-in. De Cordova-Reid laid the ball to his left to Josh Onomah and collected the return pass from his fellow substitute before shooting into the bottom corner. Bobby De Cordova-Reid pulled a goal back late on, but Ream stepping on the ball led to Callum O’Hare adding a third for the Sky Blues in stoppage time.

In that sense, there are some big decisions ahead for the club and Marco Silva. Whether or not to keep Ream at the club or allow him to leave is a difficult decision to make, given he has been a mainstay at the back for Fulham in such a successful campaign. The club are comfortably clear at the top of the Championship standings, and look destined for a return to the Premier League this summer.

Goalscorers: Rose, Gyokeres. Fulham XI: Marek Rodak(GK), Neco Williams (Rodrigo Muniz 75'), Tosin Adarabioyo, Tim Ream, Joe Bryan, Harrison Reed, Natahniel ...

The hosts managed to pull a goal back with eight minutes remaining, Onomah managed to pick out Reid in space and the forward fired first time past Moore to make it 2-1. Fulham looked to pull a goal back before the break and nearly found a goal back after a deep cross from Neco Williams was volleyed off the crossbar by Kebano. Mark Robins’ men finally took the lead after 20 minutes, an in swining corner by Hamer was glanced goalwards at the fornt post by Rose and a slight deflection send it into the far corner to make it 1-0.

Fulham have shown no mercy to many sides this season, putting seven past Blackburn and Reading, and hitting Birmingham and Bristol City for six to show the gulf in quality between the haves and the have nots – with Marco Silva’s men bouncing back to the Premier League courtesy of a large helping hand from their relegation parachute payments. That humiliation of the Cottagers will have left a sour taste and there was a clear sense of revenge in the air when the two teams came together for the return fixture at Craven Cottage, meeting for the first time at the old venue in the league for 54 years and four days, to be exact. The identical scoreline and putting to the sword of Sheffield United will be a close second – Mark Robins’s men coming from behind on both occasions against fallen Premier League sides and completely playing them off the park in as one sided and exhilarating second halves of football you are likely to see.

It may be a case of when, not if, Fulham are promoted to the Premier League, but this defeat reminded them there is still plenty of work to do this summer.

Premier League side West Ham United have actively scouted Fulham and Sheffield United transfer target Josh Cullen ahead of a potential move in the summer…

Considering how much of an asset Cullen has been for his current side, you would certainly back him to make the step to the English top flight and if he can prove to be a capable option, he could establish himself as one of the best signings of this summer’s window. This is according to reporter Jones, who said: “I was told they (West Ham) are keeping an eye on him. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t need more depth.

On the pitch, the response was ‘satisfactory’, and ‘there is the desire to make the redemption in due time’, meaning ‘the end of June’. Despite the multiple reports over the course of the season claiming that Napoli would make Fulham’s André-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s loan permanent before the end of the campaign, that has yet to happen. The Cameroon international was sent by the Cottagers to Italy as he wasn’t prepared to play in the Championship, and a €15m option to buy was agreed.
