Hughes: Positivity key for Cottagers
Fulham manager Mark Hughes believes his side's positive approach is the reason they remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season.[LNB] The Cottagers are only one of two teams that have yet to be defeated in the top-flight this term, with Manchester United the other side not to suffer a reverse.[LNB]Hughes' men picked up a 1-1 draw against West Ham at the weekend, but it was their sixth stalemate of the campaign with the West Londoners having only picked up one win so far.[LNB]The Fulham boss praised his team's positive attitude in games, especially away from home, and believes it is a key reason to their unbeaten record.[LNB]"Away from home we're trying to be positive," he said in the South London Guardian. [LNB]"Obviously it's frustrating to get the draws, but it's only a matter of time - considering the quality we're producing - that we turn those draws into three point victories. [LNB]"On Saturday against West Ham we certainly did enough to win the game. We're not setting up to get men behind the ball and frustrate teams - we're attack minded and trying to break the lines to cause the opposition problems. [LNB]"That's why we're unbeaten - because we're positive. It's only Manchester United and ourselves that remain unbeaten."[LNB]Hughes has only been at the Fulham helm since July but admits he is loving life at his new club.[LNB]"I'm really pleased with my decision to come to Fulham," he added. [LNB]"I think a lot of people don't realise what a good club Fulham is and the talent that exists - not just in the team, but in the people surrounding the club as well. [LNB]"I've been really surprised by that level of quality and that makes my job less stressful in terms of how you spread your energy."
