Fulham boss Parker: We must be realistic - but not give up

Fulham boss Scott Parker is demanding no-one drop their heads after defeat to Leicester City.

The defeat leaves the Whites thirteen points adrift from seventeenth spot, and while the Whites' Caretaker Manager understands the difficult task at hand, he'll approach each individual game with fight and belief.

“It's going to be really tough," explained Parker.

“I sit here with a real realism. I understand the situation and I'm not blinded, but the message stays the same.

“While, mathematically we're not done, I also understand it's going to be really tough. We'll take it game by game.

“It's been a tough year for the players, for the staff and for everyone, but the players still have a lot to play for.

“Whether we're down or mathematically relegated, every game will be a cup final from now until the end."
