Fulham news: ‘They need to stay in contention’

Former Fulham defender Stephen Kelly says despite Marco Silva’s side being inconsistent, they need to stay in contention for a European place because that would be an “amazing achievement”.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “Fulham are consistently inconsistent. It can be said about so many teams this season. No one has been able to really just keep it together for long periods of time and Fulham have fallen into that category as well. I think they are looking to push on, progress and move on as a club.

“Fulham, it’s a great place if you can play in Europe there. It was amazing, my time there was sensational. It was such a wonderful experience so I think the club would love to get back an opportunity to have a European run because it makes for some great nights.

“There are so many places up for grabs, they need to stay in contention. There are three teams sitting on 48 points down to tenth – Bournemouth, Fulham and Brighton – any one of them could end up doing it which would be, for either of those clubs, an amazing achievement to get Europe next season.”
