Portsmouth boss Adams doesn't feel under pressure

Portsmouth boss Tony Adams insists he doesn't feel under pressure after defeat to Fulham yesterday.

Two goals from substitute Erik Nevland (71 and 80) put Pompey to the sword before David Nugent scored a consolation effort six minutes from time.

But when asked if he had any concerns for his managerial future, Adams replied: "No, I don't think so. It is all good at the moment.

"I do my job to the best of my ability. It has been a tough period. The last two months have been difficult both on and off the pitch.

"I'll be delighted when the transfer window closes. Heads have been turned up and down the country. Once it is closed we can get on with business.

"We made mistakes today. We gambled on offsides and it is disappointing because we worked hard in training on that.

"We were undone within 15 minutes of the game. If you continue to make mistakes you will lose points.

"We gambled on the offsides but you need your defence to play as a unit, your midfielders too. We missed Sol Campbell."
