Fulham boss Hodgson: AJ, Zamora can work together

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists the goals will flow for Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora.

"As a centre forward the best thing you can do when you come to a new club as a big-money signing is to score on your debut," he said.

"Everything is hunky dory but that's not the way life is. Andy had to play a few games before he got them.

"We researched our centre forwards as best we could - we put a lot of time and thought into it.

"We looked at their profiles and the way the team was set up and decided on Zamora and Johnson.

"Over the 38 games we'll get a lot of joy from them - whether that comes at the beginning, middle or the end we'll wait and see.

"It would have been nice if it had come at the start the season, but it might be that we're interested in what happens at the end."
