Michael Madl: Fulham focus is key for Championship relegation battle
Michael Madl says Fulham must improve their concentration as they look to climb away from trouble in the Championship.
Fulham are one point above the relegation zone after six games without a win and face MK Dons in a crucial game at the bottom on Saturday.
Madl says defensive lapses are costing Fulham, who have conceded 64 goals, including 29 from set pieces which is by far the highest in the second tier.
“In one or two situations we have to be more concentrated and more solid,” said the defender. “We know our situation is difficult but we still believe in ourselves and that we have enough to get out of there.
"The spirit is still good. We are working well on the training ground and we have to show that at the weekend.
“The last few games we have played a good first half. But the second half was not that good. It is difficult to explain. We have a good team but we have to show it for 90 minutes. If we can do that, we will be alright.”
Fulham will drop into the bottom three if they lost against MK Dons at Carven Cottage, where the Whites have lost have of their games this season.
“It is a massive game,” said Madl. “But we have worked really well during the international break. I think the break was good for us mentally.”
