Thanks for the new thread Bulletspur. Same starting XI as the Newcastle game - if everyone is fit and healthy!

Cricket score incoming.

Interesting that we have an Australian Referee for this match

 

[Mr Pink]

I'm confident.

Agne will want to see similar levels.

Think we'll have too much for them.

0-2 Spurs

Richy and Son.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Aurier misses out with an injury and the same with Awoniyi which is a big miss for them.

 

[CookieYiddo]

1-3 Sonny, Richy and Brennan

Shame Aurier misses out. We might have got another penalty

 

[GetKaned]

1-0, Son (P)

Do we think Forrest will take the game to us or low block and defend?

I'm not going to claim I've seen a lot of them recently but despite having picked up only 1 point from their last 5 they've averaged 45% possession and over 10 shots per game, so I'd assume that means they like to at least try and play football. If that's the case it's probably a good thing for us. I reckon we'd smash them in an open game.

Cooper needs results badly to save his job so it could be a low block and try and catch us on the break.

I think they'll try to grind out a draw.

After five without a win we once again tasted victory in a complete performance against Newcastle on Sunday. No time to rest on that one as we are first up in Matchweek 17 away at Nottingham Forest. Not Saturday at 12.30...nah, "Spurs can go again on Friday" say TV so we will have gone Thursday, Sunday, Friday. No rest for the wicked but there you go. Forest have been on a ropey run of late and were pumped 5-0 last midweek at Fulham before a hard fought draw at Wolves on the weekend. Their fans are right behind their manager and love him as much as we love ours- they will make a heck of a racket and try to make it tough for us. I just rewatched the whole Newcastle game and the football we played was even better than I remembered without the jeopardy. Our players looked so skilful, energetic and sharp and were so up for the game creating chance after chance. If we can replicate even a fraction of that performance I cannot see how Forest can live with us. We must win, we will win and handsomely too. Nottingham Forest 1 Tottenham Hotspur 4 COYS!

They'll low block us but I think we'll actually score early and be too much for them
