Another first for me yesterday as I was asked to go to Fulham’s training ground at Motspur Park and attend head coach Slavisa Jokanovic’s press conference ahead of their trip to Blackburn on Saturday. Dauntingly, I was the only print journalist so, after Jokanovic had spoken to BBC London, I was left to address him alone. Despite his incessant mumbling, I thought I did pretty well and two stories have been published already, with more to come in the international break next week – as usual I will add as they are published.
