Fulham suffered the ignominy of derby day defeat on Saturday afternoon as they fell to a 3-1 defeat to Brentford, with defeat leaving Fulham toiling in the bottom half of the table.

Neeskens Kebano had put the Cottagers ahead, before a mistake from goalkeeper David Button against his old side allowed Sergi Canos to fire in an equaliser from the edge of the area.

Goals from Romaine Sawyers and Ollie Watkins sandwiched a Denis Odoi red card, ensuring the points and the bragging right remained at Griffin Park.

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic has come under heavy criticism in recent weeks, and derby defeat will not have helped the Serb's cause.

Jokanovic blamed defeat on a slow start to the second half.

“We didn’t show a killer instinct today,” reflected the Fulham boss to the club’s official site.

“It was complicated after we became one player less but we tried to show a reaction.

“We found many problems after the two situations at the start of the second half.”

The Verdict

Fulham’s start to the season has been nothing short of woeful, and Jokanovic needs to start digging out results if his side are to challenge for a playoff spot this season.

The Cottagers controlled the game for half an hour at Griffin Park before Canos’ equaliser, with Brentford largely controlling proceedings from this point on.

Fulham are in desperate need of a striker in January, with Jokanovic forced to play central midfielder Stefan Johansen in a false nine role at Griffin Park.

January could be the difference between the manager keeping and losing his job, and he must deal well in the window to find the men capable of turning their season around.
