CRAVEN COTTAGE

Fulham,London July 23,2008

Cottagers slip to Busan defeat TEAMtalk.com

Bobby Zamora and John Pantsil could not prevent Fulham losing 1-0 to Busan L'Park in the first game of their pre-season tour to South Korea. Busan, currently at the foot of the Korean K-League, took the lead 12 minutes into the second half courtesy of Choi Ki Suk's deflected shot.

Zamora, who signed from West Ham for £4.8million last week, lined up alongside David Healy in attack.

The pair both had chances early on, most notably Zamora, who headed over from six yards 10 minutes into the game at the Asiad Main Stadium.

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson brought five players on for the second half including Jimmy Bullard, who has been linked with a return to Wigan.

Hodgson also replaced David Stockdale with trialist keeper Pascal Zuberbhler at the break but the Swiss keeper could not prevent Choi's deflected shot from giving the home side the win.

The starting Xl For Fulham today were David Stockdale, John Pantsil, Brede Hangeland, Toni Kallio, Leon Andreasen, Andranik, Danny Murphy, Seol Ki-Hyeon, Lee Cook, Bobby Zamora and David Healy.

Fulham face Ulsan Hyundai in the final match of their tour on Saturday July 26.

GOALKEEPER DAVID STOCKDALE

Today we were able to get a good look at 22 year old Goalkeeper David Stockdale. Stockdale signed for Fulham over the summer from Darlington where he had 47 appearances over the last two seasons. The Leeds,England native is hoping to make the reserve squad for Fulham and is sure to learn alot from starting keeper Mark Schwarzer. I hope everything goes according to plan and we see alot more of David in the upcoming months. He was really impressive in the Fulham net today and last week against Celtic. So make sure to keep an eye on him. He's still developing and looks to have a great future ahead.
