Adrian believes nervousness around the Boleyn may be the problem with the team’s form at home!
Commenting in the national press the heroic keeper said: “For us, I think it is much better to play away from home but you have your fans here and of course if you play well, the fans are with you..
“But if not, everyone is a little bit nervous. We need a result or to score first to have our fans with us.
“We need to start much better because we allow the other team to have more confidence and they can score.
“Away from home probably the team play without pressure when you play a big team as everyone thinks you are going to lose.
“But it is not an excuse. We need to improve here at home and keep going away from home with the same performances.
“What else can we do? We can’t play every time away from home!”
Adrian even produced a face-saving block when he stopped Cameron Jerome’s full-blooded volley with his boat.
“I did not have time to put my hands up so I put my face!” he laughed.
Given that he could have had his head taken off, I’m quite disappointed the referee didn’t stop the game when it was clear he’d been poleaxed. Imagine what would have happened if he’d been knocked out and Norwich had put the ball in the net…
He proved again he is the number 1 keeper,
Nerves should not come into it when you can go away and win but sloppy play and under estimateing the opposition will cost you,
But there will be a lot surprised teams this year top and bottom,
We are still 3rd and still top London club and I hope to be saying that next week,
