Fulham have experienced a slow start upon their Premier League return.
Stan Collymore has told Fulham’s fans – and owners – to ‘settle down’ and ‘be patient’ over the Cottagers’ start to life back in the Premier League.
Fulham are reported to have spent around £100 million on new recruits since their return to the top-flight via the Championship play-offs last season.
But Slavisa Jokanovic’s side have won just one of their seven league matches this season, and sit fourth from bottom of the table – albeit with a three-point cushion on the relegation places.
Writing in his Daily Mirror column on Tuesday however (October 2nd, page 51), Collymore, the one-time Fulham loanee, said: “Those Fulham fans starting to panic need to settle down a bit – the club was right to spend £100 million on new players in the summer and in Slavisa Jokanovic you have a cracking young manager.
“It will come good and your team will go on a proper run soon, so be patient.
“And the same goes for the ownership at Craven Cottage as well.”
Fulham host Arsenal on Sunday, before a two-week break for internationals – after which the Cottagers have favourable fixtures against the Premier League’s bottom three clubs (Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United) and fellow strugglers Southampton in the space of nine weeks.
Will Fulham enjoy another strong second half to a campaign with Jokanovic in charge?
