Adams rues luck but keeps his cool

TONY ADAMS insists he will get results from his crowd-pleasing Portsmouth team even though the new manager’s luck remained as wretched as the weather which enveloped the south coast on Saturday.

Pompey earned plaudits for their performance in drawing against Fulham in the immediate aftermath of Harry Redknapp’s shock departure last week and were stung by a late goal at Liverpool.

They responded with an excellent performance here but, despite their superiority, Adams found fortune against him again as Emile Heskey fired the Latics to a last-gasp win.
