Fulham defender Aaron Hughes has insisted that the team is heading in the right direction under new manager Rene Meulensteen.
The Cottagers are currently one point adrift of safety in the Premier League table following eight defeats in their last nine games.
However, Hughes is confident that the West London club can climb out of trouble in the coming months.
"The performances have been good so it's a strange feeling because we're going out and getting beaten but we've got faith that things will get better and things will change if we just keep going," the Northern Irishman told Fulham's official website.
"It is frustrating and we keep wondering when things are going to change and when we're going to get something, and I think that if we just keep going the way we're going, then eventually we will do."
Fulham continue their Premier League campaign on Boxing Day when they face Norwich City at Carrow Road.
