Fulham held an open training session at Craven Cottage for fans to enjoy during half term, and GetWestLondon were there to have a behind-the-scenes look.
Normally, training is off limits but the club allowed fans (and us) to have a taste of what regularly happens every day at Motspur Park as they turned the Cottage into their training base for one day only with the entire first team, and some U23 players, taking part.
The first thing I noticed was the togetherness the players seem to have - it's always mentioned in interviews and the like that the team are very close knit and you could clearly see that today. As the players were introduced in groups of three, the players who hadn't yet been called out were doing their best to try and put their team mates off as they entered the Cottage pitch.
Even some of the coaching staff got involved in 'booing' the likes of Kevin McDonald, Yohan Mollo and Stefan Johansen as they entered the pitch.
A lot of clubs have individual cliques which are plain to see, but Fulham don't really seem to have that and the team spirit the players have together transfers onto the pitch - it's a close knit group of players and I think that really helps them as team.
After the side went through their pre-activation stretches and warm-up, it was over to the Riverside Stand to start training, which involved three 6 vs 1 Rondo drills.
The pace of these drills was frightening - I was located in one of the dugouts and it was one of the drills where if you blinked, you'd miss whoever was going in the middle next.
It's no wonder Fulham move the ball about so quickly if they're getting involved in one and two touch Rondos every day - despite the lack of space and the speed at which the man in the middle was moving, they were still able to reach their target of eight passes more often than not.
Next up was a shooting drill, which was a bit complicated for me but it looked like the players had done it many times over at Motspur Park and this is where things got interesting and players started to stand out.
We know Tom Cairney is the skipper and we know why, players look up to him on the pitch and he can turn the tide of a game almost single handedly, but he was very quiet on the training field and allowed his feet to do the talking.
Meanwhile, McDonald and Marcus Bettinelli came alive, constantly shouting encouragement to their team mates as they fired off quality strikes (or saves, in the case of David Button) with Bettinelli being the loudest of the bunch.
It's clear who the vocal players are in the dressing room and from what we saw today, it looks like Fulham have a good mix of those who are able to speak up and those who are more quiet and prefer to do their talking on the pitch.
Interestingly enough, and despite not playing, Michael Madl seemed to be a big member of the first team squad and was all smiles whilst training, scoring arguably the best goal of the shooting session when stuck one in the top bin.
It's a mystery as to why Madl hasn't featured at all this season, but he seemed fully fit and well involved with the first team on Thursday.
On the subject of players fitting in, the three U23 lads who have been training with the first team and were there again this morning didn't look out of place one bit, which is a tad terrifying given their ages.
Matt O'Riley, Tayo Edun and Luca de la Torre were all involved and have been for some time as they were well integrated in the Fulham first team set-up, cracking jokes and getting involved with everyone else.
On the football side of things, all three look to be real players and more than held their own in the first team environment - O'Riley especially, who got on the ball a lot in the game at the end of the session and looked to make things happen.
Towards the end of the session, we got to have a look at how the side do against one another in a game situation, but using only half of the Craven Cottage pitch.
Jokanovic had purposely set the two sides up with a mix of a regular first teamers and squad players - Tomas Kalas paired Madl in defence for one side while Marcelo Djalo and Tim Ream were partnered up the other, while Tom Cairney and Oliver Norwood were in midfield on one team with Kevin McDonald and Stefan Johansen on the other.
It was everything you'd expect an inter-Fulham game to be - fast paced with chances and either end and, surprisingly, some thumping challenges.
Djalo put in a lovely, well timed tackle on Neeskens Kebano which left the pair on the floor while Oliver Norwood slid in to stop Jordan Graham from finding the back of the net.
In front of goal, Rui Fonte's movement looked sharp and he was being used to spearhead a front three of Graham, himself and Floyd Ayite while Aboubakar Kamara was on the other side and kept coming deep to receive the ball in space.
However, it was Johansen who scored after a nice passing movement cut team Cairney to ribbons, with the Norwegian finishing coolly past Button.
On the injury front, both Johansen and the skipper looked good in the training game, with the club captain controlling play for team Cairney throughout and in my eyes, looked like the Cairney we all want to see back out on the pitch every Saturday.
Finally, I've got to say what a good job Fulham did in holding the open session - it's great for the kids to get close and personal with their stars and each and every player gave a lot of time afterwards to have their photos taken with the spectators and sign autographs.
