From the OS... Tonight's team: 1. Lawrence Vigouroux 2. Alex McQueen 3. Kevin Stewart 4. Milos Veljkovic (Capt) 5. Dominic Ball 6. Zeki Fryers 7. Shaquile Coulthirst 8. Laste Dombaxe 9. Cameron Lancaster 10. Lewis Holtby 11. Simon Dawkins Subs: 12. Kenneth McEvoy 13. Jonathan Miles 14. Ruben Lameiras 15. Darren McQueen
Full squad is as follows - Vigoroux Miles A.McQueen Stewart Veljkovic Ball Dombaxe Fryers Holtby Lameiras McEvoy D.McQueen Coulthirst Dawkins and Lancaster. Unfortunately a family commitment prevents me from being there this evening so I am hoping for a professional and regular update service from the Spurs Official site.
Holtby? Interesting. Thought we might see Sandro in there again, actually. Wasn't expecting our Scouse German. Opportunity for some of the less experienced players to show what they can do.
"looks quite a bit weaker than the team in the last 2 games." They'll step up no doubt. And Academy of Hoof (they won't have the ball on the ground for the first 20 mins anyway) . "where is ceballos by the way ?" Saw him at HT on monday. Dunno if injured. Similarly for Obika (whose re-loan to Charlton is yet to be confirmed) .
West Ham United U21s: Spiegel, Chambers, Potts, Whitehead, McCartney, Ruddock, Turgott, Moncur, Lee, McCallum, Lletget Subs: Sadlier, Howes, Driver, Tombides, Nasha Tottenham Hotspur U21s: Vigouroux, A McQueen, Stewart, Veljkovic, Ball, Fryers, Coulthirst, Dombaxe, Lancaster, Holtby, Dawkins Subs: McEvoy, Miles, Lameiras, D Mcqueen Line-ups from the West Ham OS, so they're a bit wonky, I think. Dawkins starting up front? Why's he still around?
2-0 West Ham. Lletget after 45+2 minutes. Something drastic needs to be done at half-time, apparently.
"Vigouroux, A McQueen, Stewart, Veljkovic, Ball, Fryers, Coulthirst" Players who have been making regular starts, so no excuses (Vigouroux ) . CM is far from decent strength. It may require some McEvoy magic.
Mini-Bale comes on and replaces Holtby, who the West Ham OS described as "excellent all evening long". 82 minutes. 3-2 to Spurs.
