// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Roy Hodgson paid tribute to his side's conquerors as Fulham slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Wolves.[LNB] Danny Murphy gave the Cottagers a glimmer of hope after scoring a second-half penalty, but the visitors left Molineux pointless after goals from Kevin Doyle and David Edwards secured Wanderers their first home win of the season.[LNB]And Hodgson felt Mick McCarthy's promoted side were deserved winners after a slow start to the match by the West Londoners.[LNB]"I thought we started playing far too late," the Fulham boss told Sky Sports.[LNB]"On the evidence of the 90 minutes, I've got to say that Wolves did very well and deserved the victory but obviously we're disappointed that we didn't get ourselves playing the way we wanted to play much earlier.[LNB]When asked if he could use Thursday's trip to play CSKA Sofia in the Europa League as an excuse Hodgson replied: "No, quite the reverse.[LNB]"I think the team that played today with the exception of (John) Pantsil didn't travel to Sofia - we worked hard to prepare them for this game.[LNB]"We knew how important it was for us to get a good result here and we weren't able to do it but it certainly had nothing to do with the fact that another team entirely played in Sofia."[LNB]
