What they’ve said ahead of kick-off:
Charlton head coach Guy Luzon: “In this kind of situation, everything I say will sound like an excuse. I don’t want to be a person who says ‘we have slipped up because of that, because of that and because of that’.
“I can only blame myself and my team. It’s our responsibility to perform better. We are working hard to show our quality because we know it’s not enough at the moment.
“We are disappointed with our recent performances. We are not happy. The only way to overcome and come back is to work hard, like we did this week.
“It’s a challenge and, of course, when you have a great challenge you also have a great opportunity to show your quality. I really believe in my team.
“I know that we have the quality. I know that we have to show it; to show the football that we played in the first four or five games to get our good results back. We are working hard to do it. We will come with all that we have against Fulham to try and win the points.”
Fulham manager Kit Symons: “You’ve got the high of Friday night with the QPR performance and result, and then the low of Tuesday, which was very disappointing for everyone. But we move on from that and go into a great game for us now, Charlton away, live on the telly on Sunday, so we’re looking forward to that.
“The great thing about the Championship is the games come thick and fast, so we had the disappointment of Tuesday and straight away we’re into a big game, a London derby, on Sunday.
“So it’s a fantastic opportunity for us as a football club to bounce straight back. All the players and everyone at the Club, all my staff, are fully focused on getting the right result on Sunday.”
