Hodgson: we will survive

ROY HODGSON refuses to believe his Fulham side are heading for the drop.

The Cottagers remain deep in the Premier League relegation mire, despite snatching a dramatic point here courtesy of Jimmy Bullard’s late free-kick, after Morten Gamst Pedersen had headed Rovers in front just before the hour.

It leaves them seven points below the safety line with just nine games to play, but Hodgson retains the optimism he brought with him when appointed in December.
