Hodgson keen to cool Fulham excitement

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson admits his free-flowing team will have fans excited.

Two wins in three games has cranked up the expectation at Craven Cottage but Hodgson is refusing to look beyond Premier League safety.

"My job is to keep everyone's feet on the ground, just like it's my job to point out the positives when everyone is saying we're in crisis," he said.

"You have to be grateful when people are writing good things about you but you don't get carried away by it.

"We know our job in this league is to survive and hopefully survive in a much better way than we did last year.

"That's how we'll set our stall out and we'll be grateful for every point we take. If we reach 40 points then maybe we'll press ahead."
