Bobby De Cordova-Reid will not be dwelling on Fulham’s challenging afternoon in Blackpool.
The Whites had 70 per cent possession and four times as many shots on target as their hosts, but went back to London empty handed courtesy of Josh Bowler’s strike early in the second half.
Put to him that it looked a frustrating match to play in, Bobby replied: “Yeah, but at the same time, we haven’t done enough to win the game so we can’t be too disappointed.
“They came with energy and got their goal, and we didn’t do enough to get a result.
“We tried, we huffed and puffed, but they had something to hold onto. For us, it wasn’t enough, but it’s early doors, the game’s done now, we’ve just got to look forward to Wednesday.
“It’s fine, it’s a learning curve for us. We’ve got to keep working ahead of Wednesday, keep plugging away and never give up.
“We’re going to make chances, and when we do make them, we’ve got to put them away.”
Defeat is a new emotion for Fulham this season, but De Cordova-Reid insists his side will be doing everything to respond in the right way at St Andrew’s in midweek.
“We’ll definitely have a reaction,” he said. “We know the quality we’ve got in our squad, we’ve got a big squad as well, and we’re ready to go again.
“It’s just a bump, and we’ll be back from it. We’ve got to dust ourselves off and go again Wednesday.”
