Fulham manager Martin Jol has insisted that home fans need to be more realistic with their expectations this season after he was booed following last weekend's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion.
The Baggies scored a late equaliser at Craven Cottage on Saturday to leave Fulham with four points from as many matches in the Premier League, enough to see them sit 13th in the table.
He told The Mirror: "At that end, there's always five, 10 or 15 who shout at me. It looked a bit more this time, maybe 25 or 30. I'm a very proud person and I'm used to playing in the top five or even higher.
"I came here to try and help the club and I would like to help them, make the fans happy. Hopefully I can do that and if not then we will have a problem. When people start yelling at you, I would like people to be a bit more appreciative. I can't tell them to come outside the stadium after the game so I put up with it.
"It's hard to fight expectation levels and maybe a minority feel we should be in the top four. We are 12th in the league and that's maybe where I feel we could finish, maybe ninth or 10th. I think we are doing okay."
Fulham have failed to win either of their home matches at the Cottage so far this season, with a draw against the Baggies following a 3-1 loss against Arsenal last month.
