New Norwich City boss Neil Adams won't hesitate playing some of his top kids in the remaining weeks of the season.

Former youth coach Adams must guide the Norfolk club to safety, with their current position of 17th in the table more precarious when their remaining fixtures are taken into account.

"Obviously I have got a great knowledge of them all," Adams said, when asked if youngsters could be fast-tracked into his side.

"Knowing what happened last year, we had a great run in the cup and even players above them age-wise and the players who are out on loan. I have a good knowledge of them all and any player I feel will do us a job I won't hesitate to use them.

"We have got to go and pick a team to win a game at Fulham and, rightly so, I can understand people making a lot of reference to the Youth Cup team, because it was a fantastic achievement and one we were extremely proud of.

"If I feel any of those players are ready to come in and give us a hand then age is not a barrier. Equally, I know their strengths and weaknesses and what they are capable of, and of course that will come into my thinking when we sit down to pick a team."
