The arrival of Jean Tigana at Craven Cottage has seen the London team switching to a continental brand of football as they strive to reach the Premiership.

And after two successive wins, the Danish star feels the team must stick to their footballing principles and get to the top flight playing an attractive passing game.

He added: "I think we can go up in one season and people expect us to do it in one season that's a positive pressure.

"We should play our game home or away. Sometimes you will lose that way playing football but I think we can get promoted playing this type of football.

"If we play the game we can play I think we should be so good that we can get promoted. I hope that happens for football because I think that's a nicer way to see and play the game."

Goldbaek was speaking ahead of Fulham's match against Stockport County on Saturday.

He outlined how Tigana had transformed Fulham's style of play and the contrast in coaching compared to last season.

"The training is very different to last season and the way he thinks about football is very different that's the major thing.

"We just try to play quick now keep the ball on the grass and there is a lot of movement so you get a lot of opportunities for the player to play good passes and in the end create some goals. We even play football from the back now."
