Round-up: Jokanovic confirms tensions, Conte wants defender and backs Fabregas, QPR boss blames fatigue

Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic has criticised the club’s transfer policy, confirming there are differences of opinion behind the scenes at Craven Cottage.

West London Sport revealed this week that Jovanovic is at odds with the Fulham hierarchy over the club’s transfer policy.

He feels he has missed out on a number of players and that the club are being slow to pursue his more recent recommendations.

The Serb was speaking after Fulham’s draw with Cardiff at the Cottage, where 16-year-old Whites full-back Ryan Sessegnon scored.

Meanwhile, Chelsea came from behind to win 2-1 at Watford with goals from Michy Batshuayi and Diego Costa.

Cesc Fabregas came on as a substitute for the Blues and was praised afterwards by boss Antonio Conte.

Conte also confirmed after the game that he is keen to sign a defender before the end of the transfer window.

Earlier, Chelsea’s Under-18s lost 3-2 at Southampton.

There were defeats today for QPR and Brentford, who lost to Preston and Rotherham respectively.

It was a second away loss out of two for the Bees, who paid the price for missing early chances.

And Rangers went down 2-0 to Preston at Loftus Road, where skipper Nedum Onuoha scored an own goal.

Manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink suggested tiredness was a factor in his team’s below-par display.
