    Oh for God's sake why Townsend and not Mason. Mason just scored from near there!

    Confidence is an amazing thing. How much woodwork have we hit in the last spell of games without one going in (till just now). It must be three or four.

    Faffing around with it again. That was a good chance we screwed up by dawdling.

    Cheers for pointing that out Luke, makes us feel so much better!;-)

    That was a great strike but it never looked in if you know what I mean. It always seemed too high

    That was naive by Lascelles. Watched by a lot of sides before the Geordies bought him and loaned him back.

    Townsend hits the bar! About ten more shots and he'll get one on target. <laugh>
    He's done pretty well tonight, but he'll get plenty of stick for his final ball.

    Soldado deflecting a Townsend shot home! <laugh>
    One of them finally goes in and it's still not his goal.
    Nice to see the Spaniard finding the net without it being a penalty. Not many chances for him tonight.

    This probably makes us favourites for Saturday now on current form

    We are fickle fans aren't we! I admit I am! Soldado getting clapped off now. If he hadn't stuck his foot out then he wouldn't have got clapped off that's for sure!

    We can tell our families that we saw a Soldado goal in a Spurs shirt

    Lamela replaces Soldado? Really? Just scores, hasn't had many and now he's taken off? Ok, then...
    Seems odd to bring the Argentinian on to protect a lead too, but I guess Kane leads the line now.
    Hope we don't try to sit on it.

    Yes, I've never seen a player score a higher percentage of his goals from low volleys. Not that I've watched more than a few dozen highlight videos.

    I think the idea is to get Lamela off the mark, but it looks like another defensive substitution, and Pochettino will get mentally tarred and feathered by Spurs fans if what looks like another defensive substitution results in another blown lead.

    For f**ing once. We actually see a f**ing game out. Another assist for Lamela.

    4-4-2 it is, then, as far as I'm concerned.

    Well, nothing lasts forever. That bad luck OG against Kane really killed us. I think without that, we'd have five more points than we do.

    More dawdling in midfield, as Bentaleb takes on touch too many, then makes a tired challenge and gives away a free-kick.
    Lamela overdoes the touches on the break, too. Needs to cut that out, though his options were limited.

    4th round draw straight after this match, fingers crossed for another trip to N London. <ok>

    Yeah, it's best to let your players adjust to playing here before they move. <ok>

    Super Harry Kane. <ok>
    Youth products involved in all of the goals. Lovely ball from our most expensive player, though.

    Why do they keep saying Mason's not in the Premier League squad? I thought he was one of our small number of homegrowns?
    I'm sure we didn't even use our full quota, so why would we leave him out?

    Unlucky there for Lamela. Did well when he came on, despite my qualms about it happening.

    Forest B did Clough's memory proud tonight. Very decent performance until Mason's strike.
    Pearce can hold his head up high after that, despite the result. Wish them well for the rest of the campaign.
