After defeat to Fulham, Portsmouth boss Tony Adams is hoping to make another couple of signings before the end of the transfer deadline because he feels the squad is beginning to suffer.

"I didn't have many options on the bench," said Adams. "But I think David Nugent will get a chance.

"He worked his socks off. But we need a couple of players as I am limited to what I can do. Jermaine Pennant is suspended for the next game and he's also got a knock at the moment. So I am running out of players.

"The situation has changed at the football club. I've not been given £100m to spend in this window that's for sure. But you get on with the squad you've got."
