Fulham manager Martin Jol expects Bobby Zamora to respond positively to his shocking miss against Everton.
Craven Cottage boss also holds no doubts about ability of Ruiz
Fulham manager Martin Jol has backed Bobby Zamora to respond positively to his miss against Everton and is also pleased Bryan Ruiz has started to demonstrate his talent.
Zamora produced a howler when the score was still 1-1 in his club's eventual 3-1 defeat to the Toffees at Craven Cottage last weekend.
But Jol does not think the striker, who was included in Fabio Capello's England squad for the final Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro, will be haunted by missing the sitter.
"He knows it is probably not the first time," said Jol ahead of Saturday's trip to Wigan. "He is a striker, so he will miss chances in the future.
"Anybody else up front will miss chances, and even from midfield. So I couldn't see any difference (in Zamora)."
Under pressure
Fulham have scored 10 goals at Craven Cottage this season and only Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have hit the back of the net on more occasions at home.
But Fulham's tally is boosted by the 6-0 hammering of Queens Park Rangers and Jol therefore wants his team to increase the number of goals scored in general.
The Dutchman will hope deadline day signing Ruiz will help in boosting the amount of goals and so he was pleased the under-pressure £10.6million man finally opened his account against Everton.
Ruiz expertly lobbed Tim Howard just two minutes after entering the match as a substitute and Jol said: "I feel it is a sign for anybody else, the media, the fans, that he is capable of scoring that sort of goal.
"But I knew. That is why we got him over here because he has got that extra talent of setting up goals and scoring goals."
