Hodgson happy with Zamora

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has told Bobby Zamora not to listen to his critics because he is happy with the striker’s overall performances at Craven Cottage.

Zamora has hardly been prolific since arriving from West Ham at the start of last season – his winner against Sunderland yesterday was only his 10th for Fulham – but his physical presence in attack has led to comparisons with Emile Heskey.
