Slavisa Jokanovic insists he is calm as the race for the play-offs intensifies for Fulham.

With six games to go, the Whites are trailing Sheffield Wednesday by two points but they know winning every single game between now and the end of the season will guarantee a play-off spot.

And the Fulham boss insisted he has full faith in his side as they prepare to face Ipswich on Saturday.

Jokanovic said: “After 40 games, I don't have any dilemma. I'm going to trust my team until the end of the season. I'm an ambitious man.

“I understand we have a fantastic chance to fight for a Premier League spot. I can understand some people don't trust enough. I always trust in my team.

“I don't think about a different player for a different squad. If I miss something or don't miss something in this moment of the competition, I believe my players can make important things.

“They'd done it this season already and I'm confident they can repeat their best performances this season and then I will encourage them until the last second in the competition.

“My job is to be head coach of this team. I will catch all the pressure around us. They must be confident and follow our way.

“Many people are talking about Derby – they want to push me to talk about our mistakes. I avoid that. I believe that's not the best decision in the moment. We're paid an expensive price.

“We made many interesting things. We scored two goals and we can score more and I'm confident we are mentally ready to fight and make important things.”
