The Blues drew a blank at West Ham on Saturday as they were held to a 0-0 draw.

Jermain Defoe failed to take advantage of a host of chances as the Hammers kept their first Premier League clean sheet at the 25th attempt.

The failure to hit the back of the net highlighted the lack of goals from defence and midfield.

Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe have hit 13 goals between them this season.

But Glen Johnson, Niko Kranjcar and Nadir Belhadj are the only other players to register in the league.

Adams isn't overly concerned by that statistic however, and feels goals won't be in short supply for his men this season.

He said: 'We'll get people chipping in with goals.

'Nadir got a good goal last week and Niko the week before.
'If they spread five or six between them that will be good.

'Peter will score 10 and Jermain will get 15 plus. That will be fine.

'Niko got that last year and will need to do the same again.'

Adams was pleased enough with the return of a point from the trip to West Ham. And he was content with the quality of Pompey's general play.

But he noted areas for improvement that he intends to work on in training this week.

Adams said: 'I think we can keep the ball better.
'Harry liked footballing teams and so do I. I don't want to change that.

'We are a little bit open though, so maybe I have to do a bit of work on that.

'We are a little bit open to the counter attack.
'I would like to improve in that department and get a better balance to the team.'
