Kieran Richardson says he'll better for his Fulham debut in defeat to West Ham United.

The former Sunderland wing-back admits he should've done better on the day.

"I was upset with the way the game went," Richardson told fulhamfc.com. "I didn't feel sharp at all, I felt sluggish. I hadn't really trained with the Team so I didn't know the way they played that well but I've got a break now before the next game and I'll get my fitness up and understand more on how the Team play.

"West Ham is always a hard place to go to. On Saturday they kept hitting the target man and they got the knock-downs. We started badly and that just set the tempo."
