Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is confident his summer signings Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora are capable of scoring regularly in the Premiership.

He told fulhamfc.com: "It's not for want of trying or creating goal chances," he explained. "You're more concerned when you're not scoring goals and you're not even posing a threat to the opposing defence. I'd like to think that certainly wasn't the case against Sunderland and I don't think that's been the case in the other games.

"With the type of players we now have in our team and the armoury we have in terms of being capable of scoring, these goals will come. It's was very important to put a stop to these defeats by the odd goal."
