Kelly admits Fulham boss Jol wants long FA Cup run

Fulham defender Stephen Kelly says manager Martin Jol wants a long FA Cup run.

Kelly admits he fancies giving the Cup a real shot this season.

"We have Charlton up next at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup and that's a game that hopefully I am part of too. It's a competition that every player wants to be part of and having gone out of the Europa League we want to do as well as possible," he told fulhamfc.com.

"I know that the Manager wants to go far and the players feel the same. When I look at some of the teams that have made the Final over the years, with the squad that we have, I can see no reason why we can't do the same.

"Charlton are a good side though and we will be well aware of what they are capable of too. It should be a good game, and we know that if we play as well as we know we can that we could get the result that we need. After beating Arsenal, we want to keep that run going for as long as possible."
