Marcus Bettinelli believes Fulham are adapting to the way Slavisa Jokanovic wants his side to play.

The Whites struggled last season but the Serbian turned things around over the summer with 14 players coming in through the entrance door at Craven Cottage.

There is a belief now that the squad has started to gel and Fulham are now in a position to mount a promotion challenge.

Bettinelli said: “Every manager is different and has different ways of going about things. Football is a universal language.

“Everyone knows what they have to do. He's very different to what Kit was. Every manager has their own ways and you need to adapt to those as we've got a job to do.”

He added: Slav wants us to play football and build from the back.

“We've started to adapt to that. We've always had quality in the squad and we're starting to show what we can do.

“The Huddersfield game showed what we're capable of and to follow it up on Sky against local rivals, which is never an easy place to go. It shows the depth we have we have and how hard we're working.”
