Jol rues absentees

Martin Jol believes Fulham would be enjoying a season like Saturday's opponents Swansea if they had a settled starting line-up.

The Cottagers started the campaign surprisingly well given the fact they lost a number of key players during the summer. Things have taken a turn for the worse in recent times, though, with Fulham just six points off the drop zone after one win in 11 attempts. They welcome Swansea, who are currently ninth in the table, to Craven Cottage.

"Last year Swansea played well but we still managed to finish ahead of them in a very good position," the Dutchman said.
