ROY HODGSON: NO-ONE FEARS FULHAM

ROY HODGSON knows that opposition teams always expect to beat Fulham but he couldn't care less.

The Craven Cottage boss guided his side to seventh last season but said: "There aren't many teams who'll say, 'Oh my God, it's Fulham, there's nothing in this for us. I'm afraid that at Fulham we have to live with the fact that teams look at us and expect to get three points.

"It doesn't annoy me, we've just got to make sure it doesn't happen. It will be nice one day if people are scared of us and are worried about getting points but we are way off from that. We might need to build a 60,000 stadium on the banks of the river first.Trees don't grow to heaven."

Scrap

Hodgson insists keeping Fulham's fans away from watching their team in a relegation scrap is his No 1 priority. He added: "We had a great season last season but we're starting from scratch again.

"We're the Fulham this season that started last season with one ambition - to get to the end of the season in the Premier League and survive without giving our supporters a heart attack.

"We've dismissed everything from last season. Our ambition is to stay in the league and the game against Wolves is of vital importance."
