i dont no 2 much about the manager…. but jimmy bullard will aid fulham greatly. remember when he left the the royals, they had that disastrous 2nd season.

pity top teams dont sign him. some managers definitely dont have the balls. i mean bullard, hunt are players with the required calibre.

I dont know whether Hodgson will pull Fulham up but I do agree with b-52. Dempsey is a hugely talented player and He would be more effective playing wide.
And Mariano,a lot of us do care, because it is the game we appreciate, not just our favourite team……..

Fulham have a squad that has a lot of attacking talent. Their midfield and defense look somewhat shakier, but their January signings, plus the return of Bullard give them enough quality there that they shouldn’t stay in 19th place for the rest of the season.

Dempsey is highly underrated, and shouldn’t be played as a striker anymore, but as a wide midfielder. Play Johnson and McBride up front, Litmanen and Dempsey behind them, Bullard and Murphy behind them and cobble together a back four (that norweigan wasn’t half-bad yesterday, and Bocanegra is a quality player as well) and Fulham will easily survive.

Sanchez bought poorly this summer. He relied on too many of his Northern Irish players, although i did expect a lot more from Steven Davis when he signed. but players like Chris Baird, Dejan Stefanovic, David Healy & Shefki Kuqi were never going to improve the side much.

Hodgson has bought pretty wisely. Hangeland is a commanding centre half that has been lacking, Andreasen has a good pedigree at international level and in the Bundesliga, i dont know too much about Kallio, and both Nevland & Johnson have scored regularly in their respective leagues.

Having Bullard back is massive for Fulham, he and Simon Davies were excellent yesterday and added a touch of mobility and energy to a side that can often look sterile. if they could get some form out of Dio Kamara they would be a lot better for it, and dont forget they still have The Lockpicker Litmanen to come on, as well as new forwards Nevland & Johnson looking to make an impression.

FUlham will stay up under Roy – The turning point of the season will go down in history as Chris Baird punching Jimmy Bullard in the face. I think once he starts punching himself in the face every week at training we will start to see a steadier defence!
