Fulham boss Hodgson: Away record could return to haunt us

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has warned their dismal away record could come back to haunt them.

"Our away record will come to haunt us until we start winning," said Hodgson. "I remember when I was at Halmstads we had two years without winning away. It goes that way. One day, the day will come.

"But the most important thing is that if you don't win away from home, you get a result and that is something we have done.

"If you look, there are a lot of teams in the league who have lost more matches. If you add the fact we are unbeaten in the Cup, three matches, we don't have a bad record, having lost just seven times in 28 or 29 matches.

"We have had some draws away from home when we have been expected to lose. The most important thing is that we keep going. I don't see any magical formula which will see us suddenly change it around.

"Every away game we play in the Premier League, our opponents expect to beat us. We rarely start as favourites. I don't think some of the bookies were even making us favourites against Swansea."
