Scott Parker urged his Fulham players to show their pride and professionalism as they head to Southampton on Saturday having already been relegated. “I’m a professional person and the players are as well, and they have a job to do,” the Fulham boss said. “Whether you’re relegated or not there’s a pride and a professionalism that needs to come into place and that’s my message first and foremost to the team. Following the confirmation of their drop to the Championship, Parker said he had taken a day or two to reflect. “(I) took some time out initially after the game and the next day, then after just back into what is three games left, so a big game on Saturday,” he said.
