Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam says there's no reason to dwell on defeat to West Ham United.

The Scotland midfielder has stressed that there should not be too much doom and gloom in the Potters camp.

"We huffed and we puffed for 90 minutes, but sadly the quality or that cutting edge just wasn't there, and I suppose in the end it just wasn't our day," said Adam to stokecityfc.com.

"It's disappointing, of course it is - nobody wants to lose games. But there is a lot of positives to take from the season so far, there is no doubt about that."
