Jokanovic has no plans to change style of play

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanoivc has turned down suggestions his side should turn to a more defensive style of play.

The London Evening Standard write that the Cottagers have conceded the most goals out of any team in the Premier League this season, a worrying 21.

Jokanovic has decided to stick with the possession-based tactic that bought the club so much success last season, eventually gaining them promotion via the playoffs.

However, the Cottagers have struggled since making the step up to the top-flight, and find themselves 17th with five points to their name after eight matches.

Fulham were on the wrong end of a comprehensive 5-1 scoreline against Arsenal last time out, and know they must start picking up results sooner rather than later in their bid to beat the drop.

However, Jokanovic seems unwilling to sacrifice style for substance, saying:

Four years Fulham supporters were waiting for the Premier League. If we start to be depressed and not trust ourselves, it is not a good way. People are nervous and not especially satisfied, but it is part of the process. Our target is to improve.

The team travel to Wales to take on fellow strugglers Cardiff City this weekend, which could be the perfect opportunity to kickstart the season.
