Adams On Southampton

Speaking after the 1-1 draw with Southampton at the Arena,Micky Adams said: "Southampton are a good side. "They put you under pressure with the possession they have but in terms of effort and commitment I again can't fault my players.

"We lost Dele Adebola with a hamstring injury in the first half and he was a big miss for us. "He had started the game very well indeed and he and James (Scowcroft) are forming a decent partnership. Not only was it a disappointment for us but it put us under pressure at set-pieces because they are a big side.

"It is difficult to be critical of one man and there was someone else apart from Robert who caused the goal because he did something wrong 25 yards from their goal which contributed."
