Southampton’s Matt Targett is having an excellent spell on loan at Fulham.
Fulham supporters have taken to social networking site Twitter in order to rave about Southampton’s Matt Targett following another impressive performance while on loan at Craven Cottage.
The talented left-back joined Fulham on loan in January, and his inclusion in the starting XI has coincided with a fabulous run of form which has seen the West London club propel themselves up the Championship table.
Fulham found themselves as low as 17th in the table at one point, yet seven victories in their last nine games now sees them sitting in the playoffs with hopes of catching Cardiff City in second spot.
Despite a tough run of games, Slavisa Jokanovic’s men have taken seven points from their last three fixtures – Aston Villa (H), Bristol City (A) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
Ryan Sessegnon is showing why he is the most talented youngster outside the Premier League, but the 17-year-old’s success in the final third is largely due to the cover provided by Targett.
The 22-year-old has been superb at left-back, and his latest performance in the victory over league leaders Wolves has seen him named among the Championship’s best for the weekend.
| Tackles | Effective Clearances | Duels Won | Ball Recoveries | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matt Targett | 3 | 4 | 9 | 5 | 90 |
As per the table provided by Opta, Targett contributed with an impressive three tackles, four effective clearances, five ball recoveries and a whopping nine duels won over the course of the 90 minutes.
Taking to social media site Twitter, many Fulham supporters believe they would be currently in the top two had Targett been with them from the beginning of the season and current form suggests they have a point.
