Jol insists that Fulham are not taking safety for granted
Martin Jol insists Fulham are safe from relegation – but the Cottagers boss is still taking nothing for granted.
Despite being beaten 1-0 at Newcastle on Sunday, Fulham’s odds for the drop have lengthened after Wigan Athletic could only draw with ten-man QPR later in the afternoon.
Fulham have 39 points – eight points more than the 18th-placed Latics – and Jol’s side possess a superior goal difference with only seven games to go.
The Dutchman said: “I don’t think we’re in trouble, but then 10 years ago you needed 44 points to stay up. A couple of seasons ago a club needed 42 points, but for five or six seasons it’s been 36 points.
“There are two clubs who have a problem – Reading and QPR – so it’s all about the third club. I think we are fine, although you never know. At least we have a very good goal difference compared with the other teams.
“That is important, but of course we would like a few more wins.”
