No optimism about this. They got new manager bounce, we've got loads of injuries and wolves have turned over at home several times. Feels like there could be a poisonous atmosphere at fulltime
Forster Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie Bissouma, Bentancur, Sarr Kulu, Solanke, Maddison If Dragusin is out then Dorrington. If Bissouma plays CB I think it’ll be disaster, not through either his or Gray’s fault but that is just not a viable makeshift CB solution in my opinion. Would also make a mockery of our young CBs at the club, you may as well pack your bags.
Losing this will make it 10 defeats in 19 games. If that happens then Spurs are in a relegation battle.
I think our saving grace is that the bottom two are genuinely woeful and likely to pick up very few points and there’s at least one other club who’ll be considerably worse than us too. What a time to be alive though as a Spurs fan, lol.
Yeah I don’t realistically think Spurs will be in any danger of going down but I wouldn’t be surprised Spurs finish closer to the bottom three than the top 6 this season. Scary thing is though, teams have gone down before and had more points than Spurs (and Man Utd) have at this stage of the season.
lose to Wolves, and we’ll have 23 points at the half way point. So we’re on for a 46 point season, based on that form. Which over the last 3 years has resulted in an 11th-14th place finish. Potentially on course here for the “top-of-the-bottom-half of the table” trophy here, my friend. To dare is to do! Stay positive!
The only one who would ever say that has either never 'experienced' the delights of being an away supporter at the Den or else just has a death wish! Being pelted with lumps of concrete as you are being shepherded down a narrow open passageway to the away pen is not something I will ever forget. To be fair, I would hope that things have improved a bit since the early '80's, but I don't imagine the locals are any less hostile.
Just what I was thinking. Two more defeats and we could be 3pts off the drop places! The positive 'we're mid-table' commentary misses the fact that our results are in a downward spiral and there's no obvious reason to think things might improve in the short term. Can't see us getting anything from this game, so the pressure is really on.
I met a bloke in my local Lidl this lunchtime. He was wearing a Spurs jacket. He said that we're going to win tomorrow. I remember those golden, long gone, optimistic days...
