Fulham boss Marco Silva says Tuesday's loss to Crawley proves he needs more signings.

The Premier League outfit were downed 2-0 by League Two Crawley.

"In these types of games we have to have the same enthusiasm and intensity as our opponents" Silva said.

"As a Premier League team they want to show they can match us, but I am not upset by the attitude of our players as I take the responsibility for making the changes.

"I know what is happening with our squad right now – with some of our positions we don't even have a second solution, so I don't want to take the risk of players getting injured.

"Tonight I took the decisions that were the best option for the game. Players came in, they gave their maximum but it was not enough.

"It is not just Aleksandar, (we need cover for). I took the decision to change 10 players from the last game and it was my decision to do it and we will look back at this game and then move on.

"Nothing has changed from the last few days about any players coming in. I am hoping that will change."
