The Cottagers have been out of sorts in the league this season and have only managed to accrue one point from their first three matches. Sunday's opponents Rovers have also started the season in poor fashion losing all the games and Jol has targeted a change of fortunes against the Lancashire side. "I feel [the need to win] is probably the same as for the opposition," he said. "We need the points. "It doesn't matter where you play, we need points and to get out of a situation where we are bottom of the league. "All the teams that are there will tell you the same so they will try to win and we will try to get the result." The Cottagers have struggled in their attempts to juggle league and Europa League commitments so far this campaign, with Jol admitting the west Londoners' poor start was mainly due to their threadbare squad. The Dutchman subsequently bolstered the team with three new signings on August 31, bringing in Bryan Ruiz, Zdenek Grygera and Orlando Sa. While Jol has expressed his delight at capturing the trio, he insists he will bed them into the squad slowly. "I would have a worry playing all three of them on Sunday," he said. "We have got a good team and I wouldn't play all them. Why should I? "We have a good team, especially at home." He added: "I don't feel the programme helped, of course, because we played one home game - where I still think we should have had a win - and then we play three away matches. "That is never easy and I think Fulham have won eight games in the last three years away from home so we have to do better in that respect." Fulham's next Europa League tie is on Thursday against FC Twente, whom Jol bought Ruiz for £10.6million on deadline day. The Costa Rica was targeted by several of Europe's elite and Premier League rivals Newcastle made a last-gasp swoop for the attacker. Jol insists he never feared Ruiz would slip from his grasp and has warned the Fulham faithful that the 26-year-old will take a few weeks to bed in. "Most of the people will tell you that Luis Suarez was one of the few that never had a problem [adapting to a new country]," he said. "He fitted in straightaway but most of the other players will tell you that the tempo is a bit higher, the pace, the quality of the game is very good in England. "It wouldn't be strange or awkward if they need a couple of weeks to gel with the other players. "There was never a feeling that he would leave us or go somewhere else. "Twente were good and everybody knows we have got the budget so everybody knows I am happy to stay within the budget with these four or five players."
