Cesar and Fabio were exceptional. The right set up and plenty of grit. Park getting slightly better especially as the game went on did his job and didn't lose possession very often. Harry right not to change it better to take the point against a very good team who we stifled rather well. Lost our shape a bit at the start of second half as they put us under intense pressure but rode out storm and got back on track. Only problem is Mbia another yellow and strange antics from the crazy Cameroonian. Harry needs to have a word as he is getting a reputation with referees and we don't want any repeat of last season's post Christmas red cards fiasco {Cisse, Barton. Diakite etc) leedsalltheway added 17:39 - Jan 12 We are going nowhere. things need to change and fast.losing at barnsley says it all.team is not good enough.gfh need to do one themodfather added 17:45 - Jan 12 i left very disappointed...if this was under hughes, it would have been unsatisfactory. and the boss would've had stick, no subs!!! no forward, we were slow, m'bia just falls over all the time, park was useless...cesar saved us and swp missed a sitter nelsen and hill were good and onouha actually did excellent v bale, kept him under reasonable wraps but we were at home, needed a win. some seemed happy leaving, now with results going against us, we're bottom ( as usual) i felt we could've nicked this with some passion and attacking options. park had to go off...and m'bia cannot stand up for mins in a row. LostBoys added 17:55 - Jan 12 A few heart attacks later but we got the three points we needed. Well done the fans who travelled - you sounded immense on the radio. SFC tweets and whispering Dave are not good for your physical and mental well being GK10 added 18:17 - Jan 12 A solid disciplined display, the right tactics considering the strength Spurs had on the pitch. A bit frustrating that we did not create too much, but two league games without conceding against Top 5 teams is good. My only complaint with team was J S Park who did not seem to be able to control the ball or win a tackle (which invariouably he needed to do after his first touch). Why is'nt Faurlin playing? A far more effective player. ibnumber10 added 18:19 - Jan 12 This was a great performance against a very good Spurs team who have destroyed other sides this season. It also was the first time they have failed to score away from home since they played us here last season. M'bia was immense (still a bit raw), Cesar's double save was world class. Fabio & Onuoha were very solid. Hill, Nelson, Mackie, Derry and SWP all put in a massive shift. Park was a bit off but still worked hard. Adel was great worked hard and mixed his game up, if anything we missed Granero's class Harry was happy with the point. quickpassrotter added 18:20 - Jan 12 If we had played with this organisation and commitment earlier in the season, when MH was still manager, we would not be down that end of the table. Tottenham are a seriously good side yet we prevented them from playing and if we had taken a chance or two we would have nicked it. Great to see the attitude and drive today - and I was pleased with the point. Clearly as the squad currently stands we are not an attacking force - and Harry has to get the best out of what he has been handed - which he is doing. Still think that we will not get out of it but at least we look a team now - and obviously a shame that Harry was not brought in about 6 weeks earlier than he was. Don't think that many if any will fancy coming to us though in the window. Still a way to go yet and others being sucked in and it will go to the wire like last season imo. N12Hoop added 21:17 - Jan 12 If we'd tried attacking we would have got torn apart. Harry called it right given the personnel we had available. It's a clean sheet and a point against one of the strongest squads in the country. I do worry though how we will set out against supposed lesser teams when we need goals since we have no creativity other then Adel.
