Fulham enjoyed such tremendous success and looked such a strong outfit in last season’s Championship that they actually looked a strong candidate to survive the rigours of the Premier League.
It hasn’t worked out that way for them so far as some naive defending has left the Cottagers in a heap of trouble. After ten games of the season, the Cottagers are stuck on just five points with no win in seven, collecting just two points in that sequence.
Fulham are even money at Ladbrokes to get relegated this season* (betting odds taken on October 30th, 2018 at 7:29 pm).
It is the number of goals that they have given up which is a massive problem. The Cottagers have conceded at least three goals in five of their last six games. They have no clean sheet for the season and have the worst defensive record in the Premier League by a country mile. They have so far conceded 28 goals in their ten games, five more than the next highest tally of 23 that Cardiff have shipped.
Fulham lost 3-0 at home against Bournemouth on the weekend to heap more pressure on Jokanovic who is now 2/1 odds at Ladbrokes * (betting odds taken on October 30th, 2018 at 7:29 pm) to be the next Premier League manager to go in the sack race.
Jokanovic takes over from Manchester United’s Jose Mourinho who drifts to 3/1 odds. Not helping Jokanovic’s Fulham cause is that the Cottagers face Liverpool and Chelsea in two of their next four league games.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Mourinho has headed the betting for some time now but four defeats on the spin puts Jokanovic in sackable territory.”
