Jokanovic vows to ‘fix’ Fulham

Fulham: Slavisa Jokanovic.
Slavisa Jokanovic admitted he was ashamed by Fulham’s 3-0 defeat by Brentford, labelling the performance “embarrassing”.

Sam Saunders, on the books of Fulham in his late teens, opened the scoring before Scott Hogan scored twice to continue his impressive form.

Whites boss Jokanovic again gave a brutally honest assessment of his team’s defending.

He said: “It was an embarrassing performance. In the first 45 minutes we played without any character and without any desire.

“Nothing is new for us, all season it’s a similar story. We are very soft at the back.

“In the second half we tried to show a bit more character, and try and play football.”

THIS SEASON’S WEST LONDON DERBIES
                          W     D    L      F     A    Pts
Brentford        2      1     1      6      5      7
Fulham            2      1     1      9      6      7
QPR                  1      0     3      3      8      3

However, Jokanovic insisted he knows how to fix the problems – but would not expand until after the club’s final game of the season against Bolton next weekend.

“I know how to fix this problem and the club know. That’s it. I’m not able to fix it in these few months.

“We are still in a competition and it’s very difficult to clear our minds before the last game.

“We have in front of us the last game against Bolton and we’re going to try and do something different.”
