Adams On Newcastle

Last updated : 31 January 2005 By Covsupport

Micky Adams thought the City support at Newcastle was excellent. He told Sky Blue World: "I have to say that the fans were terrific. The support was excellent and we thank them for that. They realise that we've got a struggle on our hands and we need them. We are in a relegation dogfight - I don't want to kid anyone and say that we're not but I have a lot of positives going into the Preston game."

He added: "It was a fair result. To be honest, we are still learning lessons. I saw an improvement in the way we went about things compared to last week - particularly the way that we defended. Generally I'm pleased with the effort although class tells in the end. "Newcastle are a good bet for a run in the cup this season - particularly if my old mate Shearer is packing it in as he'll want to win it."
