After defeat at Cardiff City, Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic insists now was not the time to panic.

Fulham are back in Premier League action against Bournemouth at Craven Cottage next weekend and Jokanović can see comparisons to last season's slow start to the league.

“I am brave and my work is working, fighting to find solutions, like last season, if you want to bet against us it can be a little bit early for you.

“It's similar to last season when we were near the bottom of the Championship, we found a way to improve ourselves and to play like a team, fighting altogether to be more solid and more competitive and play better football.

“At the end, we showed today some positive things but these negative things, actually right now, kill us and we aren't solid enough, we aren't strong enough in our box and we are conceding so easily.

“In this way it's complicated to win the game and we must stop this kind of situation," he said.
