Fulham striker Clint Dempsey believes Mark Hughes is the right man to lift the Cottagers up the Premier League table.
Draw specialists Fulham had to settle for another point from the weekend clash with Birmingham City, a result that left them only one point clear of the drop-zone.
Hughes, who replaced Liverpool-bound Roy Hodgson in the summer, has been coming under pressure of late, but USA international Dempsey said:“We believe in the manager and we can only keep working for him.
“It’s not wrong of fans to expect more. After last season, we’ve come to expect more of ourselves.
“We were taking the game to them before Birmingham scored. But we wanted to show character after last week’s game against Manchester City (a 4-1 defeat), although it’s frustrating with so many draws.
“Lots of guys have been here when it’s been backs-to-the-wall, including me, two out of the four years I’ve been here.”
