Stockdale says Fulham still have fighting chance

Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale insists they're capable of pulling off the Great Escape.

The Cottagers climbed off the foot of the table and moved above both Sunderland and Cardiff on Saturday with a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa, but remain five points adrift of Norwich City, who are perched immediately above the relegation zone.

"There's some fight in that dressing room and we've believed all along," Stockdale told Get West London.

"When things fall into place we might win these games comfortably but for now we've just got to keep playing.

"The character is there. The players are there. The ability is there. We all know that, but we just need things to click into place for us.

"There's five more games now and we're still five points adrift so we carry on. Nothing has changed really because we've won at Villa. We're still five points adrift and we need to catch Norwich."
