Nottingham Forest were thrashed 5-0 by Fulham at Craven Cottage with Steve Cooper’s position now certain to be perilous.

The Reds lost to a brace apiece from Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez during a comfortable win for the home side. Tom Cairney finished the scoring late on.

Following the drab performance in West London, we looked at some player ratings:

Odysseas Vlachodimos – 3

Not a great night between the posts for the Greek goalkeeper who once again conceded more than three goals.

Ola Aina – 3

Bullied throughout and did very little in the way of getting forward.

Felipe – 4

Good to see him back but after some good early touches he seemed to struggle defensively.

Murillo – 5

Always looking to make something happen but as a central defender, some of his teammates further forward should be doing more to help him.

Harry Toffolo – 3

His set-pieces were drab and he was given the runaround throughout the contest.

Ibrahim Sangare – 2

Dear, oh, dear. Someone tell him that we play in red!

Nicolas Dominguez – 3

A poor performance from the Argentine who in truth doesn’t have many bad days at the office.

Orel Mangala – 5

One of Forest’s shining lights during a woeful performance. The Belgian needs to just have more confidence in his own ability in key areas of the pitch.

Callum Hudson-Odoi – 4

Just couldn’t get going on his return to the starting eleven but it’s good to see him back in action following his injury.

Divock Origi – 4

Started brightly but faded pretty quickly and still doesn’t look completely fit enough to be playing from the off.

Anthony Elanga – 2

Very wasteful with the ball and missed Forest’s best chance of the night late on. Showed a real lack of end product all night.

Substitutions

Ryan Yates – 3

Typically energetic but entirely sure what he offers other than that. Was responsible for the fifth goal scored by Tom Cairney.

Morgan Gibbs-White – 4

Shouldn’t have been benched and the sooner Forest can get him back in his actual position the better.

Danilo – 3

Hardly touched the ball in fairness and is another player suffering from a bit of an identity crisis when it comes to where his best position is.

Chris Wood – 3

Had a good chance to score but fired wide from close range. Much like Origi he was starved of service.
