At West Ham, was required to get match fit (8)
I believe the answer is:
adequate
'fit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'at west ham was required to get match' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'at' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adequate that I've seen before include "Enough to meet a purpose" , "Sufficient, good enough" , "'Good enough, all right (8)'" , "'Satisfactory, acceptable (8)'" , "Satisfactory, good enough" .)
