Cottagers missing key trio
The Cottagers head to Carrow Road buoyed by their impressive 1-1 draw at west London rivals Chelsea on Boxing Day. Andy Johnson, Bobby Zamora and Damien Duff all missed the Stamford Bridge encounter and look set to miss out again. Jol does not believe strikers Zamora (Achilles) and Johnson (groin) will be fit to return, while Duff is also set to miss out through injury. "Of course the only thing you can say is hopefully they will be back, but I don't think there is a big chance," manager Jol told Fulham TV. "They were still out on Thursday and Simon Davies is of course out as well. "Then we have the long-term injuries to [Zdenek] Grygera and Mark Schwarzer. "We have got a few worries but we have got attacking options available. "I think [Orlando] Sa needs a bit of confidence and then he will start scoring goals. "It is only a matter of success and then he will thrive on that and do better and better. "I thought he held up the ball well at Chelsea. He worked hard and now he has to score goals." Many had tipped Fulham to be on the wrong end of another heavy defeat on Boxing Day, having been thrashed 5-0 days earlier by Manchester United at Craven Cottage. However, the Whites went with a surprisingly attack-minded philosophy and secured a confidence-boosting point. "You can always defend and we did that well against Chelsea," Jol said. "But you have to play your own football as well and we should have done that more in the second half. "Hopefully we can do that over 90 minutes against Norwich. "I think it is a very important game to us. One that could change the season. "But that is for them as well. They know it is an important game as well." Jol concedes he will have to alter his tactics in a bid to thwart Paul Lambert's side, but expects to run with a similar line-up at Carrow Road. "I don't think we will see many changes," the Dutchman said. "If you see them play, they play in quite an extraordinary style for England. "They play 4-4-2 in the diamond. They started off well against Spurs [before losing 2-0]. "Spurs have a very good team and they controlled them, but you can see their strength. "They have two big players up front in [Steve] Morison and [Grant] Holt, with [Wes] Hoolahan in the hole. "It is a different style but hopefully we can do the same [as we did against Chelsea] and take the game to them, take the initiative and take control."
