Che Adams
FRONTMAN Che Adams insisted “the goals will come” for fellow Saints forward Adam Armstrong – and saw similarities with his own previous experiences. Quizzed about playing alongside Armstrong after Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Watford,
Che Adams said: “He’s a great guy off the pitch as well and that’s what makes it even better. It’s frustrating for him at the minute. I have been in that situation where it just wouldn’t drop for you, or defenders are getting blocks. It will come. At least he is getting into the positions to get those chances. So, no-one is too bothered about that, the goals will come.”
Armstrong scored 29 times in 43 appearances for Rovers last season, the tally paving his way back to the Premier League.
Che Adams said: “He’s proved that he can score goals. I don’t think anyone can fault him in that aspect. It’s just the same as all the team, you know? We play together, we lose together, so that’s all there is.”
Leicester-born Adams has now struck twice in as many games for Saints, having also fired in the Carabao Cup against Chelsea last week. And the 25-year-old is eager to keep up his scoring form in a bid to cement himself in Hasenhuttl’s first-team plans.
Che Adams added: “It’s going well. Obviously, there is a lot of competition for places. Everyone is just making it hard for the manager to pick the players for the game. I think we are in a good moment at the minute. Hopefully we can continue with the game on Friday (against Aston Villa) at St Mary’s with the fans. We are happy to go into this week full of confidence.”
