Micky Adams has told fans not to expect an instant reprieve for any of their old Albion favourites.

The new manager kicks off his getting-to-know-you process today when he meets some of the men who are under contract at the club for the 2008-09 campaign.

Players are due to report back over the next two days for fitness assessments but those who were told last week they were not being offered a new deal will not be among them.

Adams revealed on Friday that he would review the retained list, possibly raising hope that some of those players released last week could be in for a swift recall.

He said: "That's not the case. We will judge everyone on their own merits and decide where we go from there.

"I know there has been comment about some experienced players being released.

"When I've fully assessed the squad, then I might make some telephone calls."

Players will be asked to give an honest assessment of the 2007-08 campaign, in which they finished one place outside the League One play-off zone.

Adams added: "Some of them I know, some of them I don't know too well. It's important that we just have a five-minute chat with everybody and they give a brief outline of how they think their season has gone and how they can improve."

Among those reporting back will be Michel Kuipers, the keeper Adams signed in his first stint at the Seagulls, and Andrew Whing, who played for the new Albion boss at Coventry City.
