Fulham boss Parker admits disappointment with his attack

Fulham boss Scott Parker admits he's been disappointed with his attacking players this season.

Fulham have scored just 17 times in the top flight and up until the recent loan signing of Josh Maja, Aleksandar Mitrovic was the only recognised centre-forward in the squad.

"I think there have been some very, very good performances, which we've not been able to convert those draws into wins, (that's what) it all boils down to," Parker said.

"We've had some big moments in games to win games rather than draws and we've not quite been on the right end of it.

"Our final detail in and around the final third has let us down a little bit and we've not always made the right decisions.

"I'm not only talking about finishing and executing here, I'm talking about getting yourself into positions that you can score goals and sometimes we've fallen a little bit short of that.

"I think it's clear for people to see and I think people in football will understand that this is a team that are fighting, this is a team that have big quality in the way we play, we try to put our stamp on games, but they'll also see where we're struggling a little bit at times and we'll try and work on that as much as we can to fix it really."
