Duncan Barkes

And it was a Pompey goal.

There's something about the scrap and the rolling up of sleeves and they're putting your head in where it hurts and going for it.

And where do we get Adams from?

rock solid can you imagine a Pompey side with Marlon Pack and we talked about this before and Adams side by side in front of our back four it won't matter who the back four is the back four could be your auntie and that bloke round the corner who used to play for Gosport and we would not concede a goal because in front of that back four is Adams and Pack

And these are two monstrously professional destroyers.

They are destroyers.

They're good on the ball, as in one of them scored for us.

He put his head in where nobody else could quite get there in time.

It was a ruck.

It was a ruck in the six-yard box.

Their goalkeeper, luckily, unfortunately, had a flaky day.

He was flaky when that corner came in.

It bobbled and bibbled and Adams got there first.

Oh, and did he enjoy it?

Imagine what it's like.

You've been let go by your club.

You've been picked up by Pompey.

He's probably living in a hotel.

He's just finding his feet.

He's happy that he's got a contract that lasts him until the end of next season.
