According to football journalist @JackRossler_ from the Evening Standard, Fulham have named a different back-four for the sixth game straight.
Fulham made a large number of new signings over the summer and time was always need to see them settle in at Craven Cottage.
Jokanovic appears to be having major issues identifying his best defence and continuing to chop and change is unsurprisingly continuing to provide problems.
Andre Gray’s goal vs Fulham
Fulham fail to deal with a long throw and Andre Gray collects a Will Hughes pass and calmly tucks the chance away.

Fulham fans furious with defending
That Fulham defence was a shambles for the Watford goal. Too easy for Gray.

Fulham’s defence will keep them in the relegation scrap this season. Just press them a bit and they’re all over the place. Gracia has got his tactics spot on so far

Fulham starting to get into their rhythm now after that horrible start. Still worried about their defence, they don’t look comfortable at all

Fulham defence look like they’ve never played together before.. Yet they’ll somehow have the game of their careers against us in a couple of weeks!

Fulham defence is bad. Don’t read too much into Watford attackers from this game. I really rate Hughes, Gray and Pererya but the underlying stats aren’t there for them. So don’t be suckered in if they score 3 today.

Fulham are always a danger on the counter attack, but if Watford start taking these chances they could put a few away. Controlling the game, Fulham defence all over the place #FULWAT #PremierLeague
