Player insight
Tom Cairney wants Fulham to follow last season’s trend of bouncing back when they head to London Stadium.
Marco Silva’s men responded well to any setback en route to the Championship title, and our skipper knows that mentality will be vital once again as we attempt to move on from the Newcastle United defeat.
“I think that’s the sign of any good team,” he told FFCtv. “I think that’s why we won the league.
“Any bad performance or bad defeat last season, we answered it quite emphatically and quickly, so it would be nice to do that this weekend.”
