It was a flat performance from the Latics who offered a lacklustre display and defefat was just what was deserved.
Speaking to the club's official website about the game, Martinez said: “We didn’t start well enough; on the ball we were slow, a bit pedestrian and couldn’t find that forward pass that always seemed to be there.
“From there onwards we made things complicated for ourselves, conceding a first-half goal at a crucial time.
“However, the response from the players was good, taking control of the game and showing real momentum either side of half time which was reflected in the post-match stats.
“But again, we conceded a goal at another important point which wasn’t good enough. If we want to get positive results we need more concentration and intensity in defence when we’re on top of the game – we can’t afford to be hurt so much on a counter-attack.
“We created very good opportunities throughout the game that we just couldn’t take until it was too late in the day, and for some reason Fulham continue to be an opposition we can’t take a positive result from.”
