Like a little training game for Spurs aha! I can do nothing but laugh at our performance. Theres not much you can say that''s not been said before.

Yawn, Johnsonto come off for Howson. Inspiring change. Real attacking intent.

Just stand there. Let them walk it round everyone.

[quote user="Orly"]Not really, we look dreadful, granted - but there are worse teams than us (at least 3).[/quote]Yes, I would say so too. I would say more than three that are worse. But playing like this we look terrible.

Exactly - relegation fodder, look like a team that will go down without a fight unfortunately.

Love that everyone, commentators included, are talking about a change of approach needed - pity the one man that isnt thinking about a change of approach is the one in charge!

a non-foul. Not a good game today, no changes at half time, be the same for the next 45 I reckon. Be lucky if it finishes 1 or 2v0

Stats seem generous haha!I too am all up for some entertainment in some all out attacking football from us. Fast paced, closing down always, tackle hard and attack.

Because when we go forward we can''t do anything because theres no real support. The philosphy and tactics are poor, we go into every game as though we are scared of the opponent.

Doubt he''ll really change anything. if he does, be like for like i imagine with no attacking intent. Just so dire to watch us play with everyone behind the ball.

[quote user="iron_stan"]sat so deep when we do get the ball forward theres no one in support we also need to explain to the players the ball should be passed FORWARD not backwards all the bloody timewe are playing a very good spurs side but 11 men in our own half for most of the game so far is dire to watch snograss, whittaker and elmander off (snoddy struggling with rose''s pace), hooper, martin and pilks on please, redmond right pilks left (redmond not really in the game and very predictable cutting inside), we might as well give it a go and lose 5-1[/quote]This pretty much sums it up really. Spurs are playing really well, but every attacking opportunity that does present itself we can''t do anything with because everyone looks bemused at the idea of attacking.

[quote user="Jimmy Smith"]Cheer up, this is £125m versus £25m. They are at home too, it''s never going to be easy. There is still hope while it''s only 1-0[/quote]There is only hope if hope is instilled in the players, whom seem a bit absent today. Like you say, it is Spurs, it was never going to be easy, even to get a point on paper, but we could at least look up for it and have a bit of attacking desire.

Funny because all we do is defend, but even that we can''t do too well at haha. Best form of defence is attack

I know its Spurs, but we still look awful :o shockingly awful in fact.

Wow, that really should have been a pen to seal it. ah well.

Fer has looked top class, Johnson still looking poor and Snodgrass has been awful today. Redmond as ever looking a real spark. Bassong a rock at the back. Anyone hear Hughton constantly shouting "Jonnyyyy!" since howson came on? or is it just me ha.

I''m pleased with the line up. As others have said I would have put in Olsson in - at very least on the bench! Glad to see Bassong starting too. I like Redmond and the more game time we can give him the better - he attacks and runs at players, something we really need. Hopefully we''ll be able to feed the Wolf at the front more with Elmander behind, and hopefully too Johnson will have a better game today.

CH said Snoddy out due to groin unjury - nothing serious. Glad to see that he will be back next week though. Missed him today I felt. Glad to see that we have some decent depth now.

I wouldn''t say lucky, but I''d agree that there is some way to go but that''s expected. We looked better in the second half, and it was a much more entertaining game and hopefully we can build on this result. At times it was frustrating but give it a couple games. With a fully fit squad we could have ourselves a very enjoyable season.

Considering the absense of a couple key players, we did well I guess. Still not sure on the style and way we set up personally, but hey ho. Be interesting to see a fully fit squad and what we can do with it.

[quote user="canarydan23"]I don''t care what anyone says, that greedy bastard Whittaker was trying to shoot.[/quote]Haha, turned out to be a nice cross though :o

still felt a bit out of the blue.

Debut Goal. Few.

[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]Lots of men behind the ball, backing off and not tackling is what''s happening.  Performance is reminiscent of a lot last season really[:(][/quote]Yep, and we wont make any changes to alter what is wrong. subs to come on with 5 mins left, like for like, no change.

[quote user="Carra Rud"][quote user="J"]What are we doing!?[/quote]... its like a replay of last season![/quote]It feels like it and looks like it. It doesn''t matter what striker we play with when we never give them the right opportunities.
