Fulham boss Scott Parker is drawing inspiration from Chris Wilder's Sheffield United ahead of their Premier League return.
Fulham kickoff this season against Arsenal today.
Parker said: “The challenge now is that we've gone from being expected to win the majority of weeks and trying to get promoted, and we now go into a division where we understand it's going to be a lot more difficult.
“It's a challenge that we have to embrace and take on, and I feel we are in a good place to do that. Mentally we're in a place where we all understand what we face, and we're looking forward to that.
“We saw that last season with Sheffield United, and that's no disrespect to them and Chris Wilder and the job they've done, because they've done absolutely fantastic, but that's the sort of team we need to look at.
“They had a fantastic year last year and I think Chris would be the first to say that what he demands from his players to get the results is what I'm talking about.
“Other than tactics, which we obviously understand, there is a bigger dynamic which is a squad that is together, a squad that is united, a squad that is on one page, a squad that understands what this league is going to be and what we're going to have to bring every single time.
“And with that, you've got a chance of being successful."
