Fulham coach not "confident" of signing a new striker

The Cottagers, as of now, sit third from rock bottom in the standings and five points away from the safe zone; however have found the net only 15 times throughout the season, with just

Burnley

and

Sheffield United

have scored less. 

Decordova-Reid is presently Fulham's top goalscorer with four

goals to his name in 17 matches, and the coach demanded the 27-year-old has a lot more to offer on the pitch. 

“Bobby’s been immense. He’s been fantastic really,” Parker said.

“When he came into the football club last year it was a main driver for me in terms of getting him in.

“Everything you see with Bobby on the football pitch and the way he conducts himself on it and around it is nothing short of superb really, an unbelievable professional and he deserves to be where he is.

“I’m pleased he’s taken to the Premier League the way he has. Scoring goals, he’s got a great knack of getting himself into positions and looking for a goal.

“He’s been pivotal for us and our success so far this year and the turnaround and there’s still loads more to come from him.”

The Lily Whites have neglected to score a goal in nine fixtures this season. 

Fulham have only one worthy forward at the club,

Aleksandar Mitrovic

, who has struggled before goals, yet Parker said he was not sure to reinforce his attacking line in the transfer window.

“We all understand where we may need help with the squad, but whether that happens I’m not confident,” the Fulham boss said.

“I think we need that in that area because we’re light in numbers. We have one recognised striker at our football club in Aleks and he’s been fantastic for us. (Ivan) Cavaleiro has been playing as a nine for us as well and has done remarkably well.

“I feel for competition to help the team evolve in this division, it is an area we need to look at. At the same time I also understand how difficult it is in this present time.”
