KAMARA TO SILENCE THE POMPEY FAITHFUL
Former Portsmouth striker Diomansy Kamara remembers the noisy Fratton Park faithful, but hopes to silence them when they visit Craven Cottage on Sunday.
The 26-year-old, who signed for Fulham from West Bromwich Albion for £6m in July, spent the 2004-5 season at Pompey, but had an injury-fraught time.
Paris-born Kamara was signed from Italian side Modena by Harry Redknapp in August 2004 for a then club record £2.5m.
The Senegalese international is well aware of Portsmouth’s strong support, but hopes to keep them quiet by scoring.
"They have some of the best supporters in England," Kamara said, "and I remember the boss well. But I hope to beat them on Sunday and I hope to score against them.
"Things have changed a lot at Portsmouth since I first came to England.
"A lot of people have changed. The chairman has changed and they are a bigger team than when I played for them."
After eight games Fulham are positioned just above the drop zone, having won one and drawn four, including last week’s local derby with Chelsea.
"We need to win more games," admitted Kamara. "I hope we can do this in the next few matches and against Portsmouth.
"I hope we can beat them, get up to the middle of the table, and stay there for the rest of the season."
