Felix Magath insists Fulham can still win promotion despite their disastrous start to the season.

The Cottagers head to Reading on Saturday second from bottom in the table after taking just one point from their opening five Championship matches.

However, Magath says there's still plenty of time to make up the ground and be in the mix at the end of the campaign.

He said: “It does not sound good if you have four defeats and talk about promotion but we have played five games which is less than 10 per cent of season so there is a long way to go.

“There will be a lot of points we can make up and in the history of the Championship there have been some promoted teams that did not start so well.

“I think they started like us and in the end were promoted so I think it’s still possible but at the moment that’s not what we have to talk about.

“I see good signs from the transfer window and I think we are on the way up.”
