Fulham boss Martin Jol insists it is not the right time to test some of the club's talented youngsters.
Jol insists now is not the time to experiment.
He told the Fulham Chronicle: "We are fighting for our lives in the Premier League, so can you see us playing a 16 or 17-year-old?
"I did it once and I don't think it was a very good decision. We were 2-0 down against Chelsea and I brought on Mesca [Tue Na Bangna] for the first time, but it didn't help him.
"You need a good team who play good football and then you can integrate one or two youngsters. That's what I did with Kacaniklic and Kasami, but it's not easy."
