Fulham fan John Charles says European football is still a target as head coach "Alvaro Arbeloa's seemingly steadied the ship after a crazy start to the season".

The Cottagers have 10 points from their opening 10 games and sit 15th in the table.

"Yes, we could have more points on the board, but Arbeloa has adapted and the vibes in the squad seem up," Charles told BBC Radio London. "The players seem happy and I'm very optimistic that, once the break is over, Fulham are going to have a very exciting season.

"I'm still holding out some hope for a European charge because I think the table is going to be so tightly packed that the difference between 10th and 18th could be as little as six points."
