Chris Martin urges Fulham to find solution to home woes ahead of clash with high-flying Huddersfield

On-loan forward Chris Martin has warned his team mates that they must be more street-wise in the Championship if they are to succeed.

Fulham were unbeaten on their travels this season until a late 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday, but it is at Craven Cottage where the Whites have struggled.

The Cottagers have not won a match at home since the opening day victory over the now league leaders Newcastle, losing three league games and drawing as many.

Their most recent draw came from a spirited second half performance against Norwich, who were topping the table at the time, with Stefan Johansen and Martin earning a point following a 2-0 deficit at the break.

On that occasion Slavisa Jokanovic's men, as in plenty of games this season, looked comfortable in possession but were hit by two sucker-punch blows on the break, and were not aided by two Scott Malone fouls.

And Martin insists the Whites need to be smarter in the Championship to convert dominance, and possession, into victories.

"I would be a very rich man if i knew the answer to that question," he joked. "The way we play can suit us away from home as teams are more expansive and have to make a bit more of the running, which opens up a few more spaces.

"It has been tough, a lot of teams are going to come here, on what is a tight pitch, they are going to sit in.

"It is about us trying to find a solution to break them down, it's what we have come across at home this season. We've also conceded sloppy goals at very poor times, that doesn't help."

QPR and Birmingham are two of the teams to take victories from Craven Cottage against the run of play.

And Martin knows the teams that will be easier to break down will be those who take the game to the hosts.

"With good teams like Norwich, who like to play in the right way, we can find spaces when they try and attack," he added.

"They are extremely confident in their own ability and rightfully so, they are a very good team. That leaves spaces for us to play in when we regain the ball.

"Hopefully it turns around, the way the fans got behind us and the momentum we showed in the second half (against Norwich) means we are all still together very much so as a club.

"If we continue to be like that the form will turn around."
