A new-look squad has fared well in the Championship under Scott Parker and the reintegrated Aboubakar Kamara has shone
Twelve months is a long time in football. This time last season Fulham were sinking without trace, bottom of the
Premier League after a run of eight defeats in nine matches and on their second manager of the season. A year on, and after a long look in the mirror, the team are almost unrecognisable – only four players started Friday’s win over Swansea and the final day of last season at Craven Cottage. But some things never change: Aleksandar Mitrovic is still scoring goals, and lots of them. Since August the Serbia striker has scored 23 times in 24 appearances for club and country.
For Aboubakar Kamara, the turnaround has been even more remarkable. Banned indefinitely from the club’s Motspur Park training base and sent on loan to the
Turkish club Yeni Malatyaspor after an altercation with a member of security staff in January, Kamara was reintegrated into the first-team squad in the summer and has seemingly put a turbulent start to the year behind him.
