Fulham have failed to replicate last season’s fine form so far this term.
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic spoke to reporters during his pre-match press conference, ahead of his side’s trip to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland tomorrow, and delivered an update on his plans for the January transfer window, as quoted by Get West London.
The Cottagers nearly earned promotion to the Premier League last season, eventually losing out to Reading in the semi-finals of the play-offs, but this term has been far from plain sailing for Jokanovic’s men, and they currently sit in 12th position in the Championship table.
There is still a long way to go this season, however, with 25 Championship games still to be played, and if the Serbian manages to bring some real quality to Craven Cottage in January, they have every chance fo making a sustained push for the top six.
Jokanovic spoke to reporters during his pre-match press conference, and insisted that it is his hope to bolster his ranks next month, whilst highlighting the importance of getting his business done early, as quoted by Get West London:
“I have the targets and it’s clear what we need. The club has agreed what positions we need to improve in the future and now it’s a question of how we are going to make the job. What I prefer, and what all the coaches in the world prefer, I expect we will make this job in the beginning of January, not at the end of this month. The intention is to try find an element that we are missing in these few months and try to be stronger, more solid and more competitive in the time that is ahead of us.”
A win for Fulham against the Black Cats tomorrow could take them as high as eighth in the table, if result elsewhere go their way.
