Fulham keeper Stockdale biding time for next chance

Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale isn't getting ahead of himself as he returns from injury.

For many, Stockdale is seen as a natural successor at Fulham for want-away Mark Schwarzer.

But he told fulhamfc.com: "I have heard people say that, but I'll leave it to others to decide. Of course, I have confidence that I can play a part here and make a difference, but after seven games it's difficult to say. I think this is a conversation for a later date, perhaps when I have made 20 to 25 appearances.

"I have shown that I can do a job, but the challenge now is to pass Mark when he's not injured - that's something that I have to aspire to. I'll take one step at a time, but make no mistake, I have ambitions of becoming Fulham's number one goalkeeper."
