Ross McCormack reckons its chalk and cheese between the current Fulham squad and the Leeds set-up he championed last season.
The striker insists the similarity stops at their current mid table berth. Fulham has youth on its side, while Leeds supplied a battering ram to carve out 29 goals for the Scotland international last term.
That hitman followed McCormack to Craven Cottage, but the best is yet to come from Matt Smith, currently enjoying a golden loan spell with Bristol City.
In the meanwhile, McCormack insists quality oozes out of the Whites set-up - one that will hopefully help add to the 10 goals he’s notched so far including the hat-tick against Nottingham Forest last week. Enjoy here, the McCormack onslaught.
He added: “If you look at the league table Fulham and Leeds are similar, but with two different styles.
“Last season, I was up front with big Matty Smith and he was a great foil for me. He took the hits, and I just walked around.”
The last comment had a bit of tongue in cheek, but the forward was deadly serious about the talent at the disposal of Whites boss Kit Symons.
“You look around the squad against Forest and you had Bryan Ruiz on the bench, Cauley Woodrow on the bench, along with Patrick Roberts, George Williams, who’ve all got big futures,” he added.
Fulham were rock-bottom in August, but were reborn under Symons and need just three wins and a draw for a play-off berth.
McCormack was second-half sub in the FA Cup tie draw at Sunderland at the weekend nursing a slight Achilles injury, but is pencilled in for a start at Blackburn on Saturday as Fulham return to Championship action.
However, the canny Scot is less than an enamoured by talk of an instant return to the Premier League.
“It’s a bit premature to start talking about play-offs,” he cautioned. “The minute that happens you get battered the next game. It’s the old cliche - we’ll take each game as it comes.”
