Hodgson happy for last chance
Roy Hodgson is delighted that his side managed to give themselves the chance of survival in the Premiership, but is delighted that Fulham are back in control of their own destiny ahead of the final match of the season.
âWe havenât been in a very good situation for a long time and basically I suppose to use the old cliché that we have been dead and buried for a long time,â said Hodgson, whose side also have a favourable goal difference. âBut it is nice now to have a chance at least by going into the final game.
âThe task for us is to beat Portsmouth at Fratton Park - we know that. But I think we have got to be happy that we have got that possibility because it didnât look as though we were going to have that possibility a couple of weeks ago.
âIt will be heartbreak anyway, it will be a more dramatic heartbreak. But the fact is that all of us here have wanted to keep Fulham in the Premiership. Itâs been our goal, itâs been our major focus and itâs been our dream.
âIt looked for quite a long while that that would be a dream we would have to forgoe and come to terms with the reality of the Championship. All of a sudden we have had a reprieve and they have said to us: âIf you win your last game you wonât be in the Championshipâ.
âSo we have just got to be satisfied that we are in that situation. We will be devastated if we lose, but if we win there will be another team that are devastated because three teams have to go down.â
