I think Zamora is nursing an injury, albeit a minor one.
The HammyEnd, this morning, linked a report that FFC may have an interest in Amauri from Juve. He can't get a game in Turin, they loaned him out to Parma for the second half, last term, and he scored key goals for them, had about a dozen +/- and they stayed up.

FFC tried to get him last January, but he rejected it. Maybe this time he agrees.

HAVE to get Hughes back in the center. He's too slow for outside, especially on the right. Wolves kept running at him all match long. Jol must love him some Senderos, because Baird can't get a game and neither can Simon Davies; two who really give the squad some identity.

With Riise making runs and overlaps on the left, Fulham's back four is, in essence, a back THREE, and Hughes out wide really isn't up to that task.

Yea Bobby Zamora and Deuces needs to be our scoring threat and I really like the offense that Riise provides. He should have finished his strike against Aton Villa in the opener.
AJ is getting knocked off the ball with Bobby out which does not bode well for any forward.
Here's to hoping we get a signing or something turns around.

Also i am not a fan of Etuhu

Etuhu is really hit or miss. I wish we had Messi and/or David Villa.

In the latest this will never happen news we've been linked with Papiss Demba Cisse, striker from Freiburg who's scored 32 goals in 18 Bundesliga games. They're asking for 13.5 million and apparently other teams are involved. If PSG is like they're rumored to be we might as well forget it. We might as well forget it anyway.

Another strong lineup today. Maybe too strong considering Newcastle away is a big game for us.

FULHAM (4-4-2): Schwarzer; Baird, J.A. Riise, Hughes, Hangeland; Sidwell, Murphy, Duff, Dempsey; Johnson, Dembele. Subs: Etheridge, Kelly, Briggs, Senderos, Etuhu, Gecov, Kasami.

at least Baird's starting but I got my hopes up last week that he'd gone back to Hughes and Hangeland in the middle and then it was right back to Hughes at right back for Wolves.

Fulham's offer for Cisse has already been dismissed by Freiburg as ridiculously low. This one is unlikely to happen. THAT'S the lineup I want to see, and I think Jol is putting them out there to ensure that they live up to potential and let them know it.

LOVE seeing Baird in the side! This Dnipro team is neat and gifted, the 3-0 was a bit of an aberration, and they have great form. FFC need to keep them off the board today, and counter to get an away goal in order to button up the tie.

finally found a stream

LINK

0-0 20 minutes in, Riise appears to be coming out for Briggs, limping a bit, hopefully its a precaution.

shite, 1-0 Dnipro. I want Baird in but it was a mistake by him to give up the corner.

And they switch over to Tottenham. Thanks, we needed another Tottenham stream above all.

Simon Davies out 3-5 more months with complications dealing with his knee problem

Riise will be out for "some time" according to Jol. I'm not really sure what that means.
