The Fans' Voice: Fulham's season so far

Fulham supporter Andrew Joyce rates his team's chances in the Premier League five months into the season.

Up to this point in the season, what is the best or worst your club can achieve this coming season?

Andrew Joyce: I'd say the best is to match the achievement of last season and finish seventh. The worst, is to get embroiled in cup runs in the FA Cup and Europa League and slip into contention for relegation!

What do you think of Roy Hodgson's 12-month deal? Is he preparing to leave Fulham and retire?

Andrew Joyce: I'd like to think not! The boss has done a marvelous job and is loved by all at Fulham. But something else - the England job - could tempt him away, you never know!

Who do you think is his ideal replacement if he indeed leaves?

Andrew Joyce: Now that is a question we've all pondered over and despite hours of discussion, we're none the wiser. Could we promote from within? Failing that Simon Grayson would do for me!

Who is your key player?

Andrew Joyce: Bobby Zamora - everything good seems to involve him. He's upped his scoring ratio and has blossomed into a key player. His recent shoulder injury was the last thing we needed.

Who is the unsung hero in your team?

Andrew Joyce: Aaron Hughes - His partner, Brede Hangeland gets all the attention but Aaron is a classy, competent and much under-rated centre back.

Which new signing has impressed you most? Which one the least?

Andrew Joyce: Fredrik Stoor was signed last season and has failed to make a mark whereas Damien Duff, who was signed earlier this season has already become a pivotal part of our side.

Which area do you think your team needs strengthening in January?

Andrew Joyce: We just need a little more strength in depth for the whole squad. Our recent run of injuries has left us a little stretched.

Young player to look out for?

Andrew Joyce: Chris Smalling - Picked up from Maidstone and is already capable of holding his own in the Premier League. Just remember the name!

Where will your club finish this season?

Andrew Joyce: Top ten! And a decent FA Cup run is my January prediction!

What can you tell me about your site?

Andrew Joyce: Vital Fulham is a 100% unofficial site and attached to the booming Vital Network. The site has a growing readership and isn't afraid to speak its mind.
