Watford coach Slavisa Jokanovic has called on his players to be "strong" in order to turn their poor form around.

The Hornets have slipped down to seventh place in the Championship table in recent weeks thanks to four consecutive defeats.

However, ahead of Friday's trip to Fulham, Jokanovic has reminded his squad that only they can get their campaign back on track.

"We must be strong," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "It is very complicated and a bad situation, only players and coaching staff can change this situation. Everything is in our hands.

"Supporters try to help us, as always, but we're not at the level people expect of us. I understand fans aren't happy, it is in our hands we must do everything to change this moment."

Watford's last win in the league was on November 1, when they beat Millwall 3-1.
