Jokanovic buoyed by Fulham response

Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic said his side’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest was a good response to the embarrassment of losing 4-0 at home to Bristol City on Saturday.

The Whites trailed 1-0 to Nicklas Bendtner’s first Forest goal, but Tom Cairney’s volley levelled the score and Fulham created several chances to win the game.

“My team showed a reaction after the embarrassing game against Bristol City,” Jokanovic said.

“But I am disappointed we didn’t score a second and win the game. We created enough chances to have won the game but if we stay calm then the goals will come.

“The whole team played well, we all worked together and created plenty of chances and there is improvement to come.”

Fulham have now gone five Championship matches without a win, but Jokanovic said he did not feel under pressure when asked about his future.

He added: “We have to be confident on the ball and be organised.

“Our one big problem is at home, when we don’t have the ball, but we did that very well. Our movement was very good. We have to follow this up now.”
