Early to say I know but does anyone know whether he's fit enough to make it for sat? Even just for the bench. Adamson did well v pompey but having a natural left back makes a huge difference to how we play out from the back. Can see a lot going out to dunne and mbengue which can be scary to watch sometimes!!

I shat myself when Adamson came on. Last time I saw him was at RB and he was really poor. But, I thought he did great on Saturday playing on what I assume is his less-favoured flank. Unless Cirkin is 100% fit and ready to go I'd be more than happy to start with Kealey. -
I'm afraid I don't agree with abs. This is a huge game so if he can play 45mins start him. He's a premier league player so a huge upgrade, we aren't good enough to keep him out of the team. Also looking forward to when Lampteys fit don't think we've ever had full backs like these 2 since the days of Wilson and BardsleyI played sunday league football today.
Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.
I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.
We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!Comment

Ah the memories Wilson and Bardsley what a great pair , probably the best , toss up between them and clement and gillard .Comment

Reading what Portsmouth fans said about Abu Kamara’s debut against us it appears Adamson got an easy ride, I noticed the longer the game went on the more flaws in Adamson’s game came out.
Stephan has been quoted this evening as saying Cirkin has not had a full preseason behind him and a decision will be made on him and Madsen on Friday.
He also said the full extent of Kemper injury is still not known until later this week.Comment

As well as Adamson played last sat i hope kemper can return asap. Sounds like cirkin is a bit off the pace so wont be involved for a few more games. Bolton have a guy who plays on the wing who is rapid apparently. He might be a left winger though so lets hope amadou is on his game!!Comment

Why hasn't Cirkin had a full preseason? Seems to be a recurring theme with about 75% of the players we sign every summer... surely there are avenues and ways for a pro-footballer to "self-train" themselves if they are released and/or between contracts over the Summer. Unless of course he's another sicknote who's been injured: we do love to employ serial crocks at this club after all. Oh well, whatever... it's clearly NOT gonna be Cirkin or Kemper this Saturday so may as well get behind Adamson now.Comment

His injury record isnt great, but seems good enough for half a season and hopefully his wages reflect that.

Thought he did ok when he came on todayComment

He put two balls down the wing on the outside of their FB. Premiership quality balls, looks lively and has got a bit of a swagger about him. With him and Kemper, Adamson might need to go out in loan even though he was superb himself, but at third choice, I wouldnt want him to go backwards. He needs regular football.Comment
-
Yes. Swagger's a good word for him. That's a quality we badly lack collectively... we need a bit of snarl, bite, steel and swagger about us - maybe he can coax it out of some of them?
Obviously swagger is irrelevant if you're basically a mediocre footballer but he has a tempo and approach that suggests he's a class act.Comment

Saw him a few times in close situations where he dragged the ball back quickly and simultaneously brought the other foot through to move the ball away. It was very neat and quick. With action like that others might express themselves too. You do tend to grow in confidence when you have better players around you. I know I did when I stepped up a few levels, I tried things that I never attempted when playing with some old cloggers.
It was also great to see JCS come through his second game. Hopefully he'll play again on Sat, then start resting when the mid-week games start. I wouldn't want to see him playing twice a week. Its a marathon not a sprint.Comment
