Cries of "Jol Out" grow ever louder at Craven Cottage but the Fulham boss still insisted he was the man for the job.

He admitted he didn't know if he could "win back the crowd" after Swansea substitute Jonjo Shelvey's sumptuous 80th minute effort confined Fulham to yet another home defeat.

Fulham started brightly - Darren Bent hit the woodwork with a thunderous drive early on - but lost their way in the second half.

Both sides picked up lucky goals after the break - Fulham centre-back Aaron Hughes turned Jonathan de Guzman's cross into his own net on 56 minutes.

And it's hard to believe that Scott Parker didn't intend to cross as he swung the ball in to the top corner eight minutes later.

Swansea's winner was a wonderful bit of skill from Shelvey - finding space between two defenders before firing into the top corner from outside the box.

The Welsh side face 12 games in six weeks and the win gives Michael Laudrop a cushion from the relegation zone. After 12 games the league table begins to take shape, and it's not happy reading for the Londoners.

After their recent defeat by Liverpool, Martin Jol said his side would have to get results against "lesser teams."

Swansea - who have struggled this season to combine European football with the league programme - would have been one such side.

Even Michael Laudrop admitted: "Fulham would have seen this game as one to win, and we had three or four players out."
