Spurs vs Southend (match thread)

therecklessone

Hopefully a new feature of the forum...

Team news from official site

Out: Berbatov, Ledley, Tainio
In: Rocha, Jenas, Stalteri
Doubtful: Snoop, Malbranque, Hudd

BBC says our squad is as follows:

Robinson, Chimbonda, Lee, Rocha, Zokora, Davids, Jenas, Keane, Mido, Cerny, Murphy, Ghaly, Malbranque, Ziegler, Defoe, Dawson, Huddlestone, Gardner, Lennon, Assou-Ekotto.

Stats and facts

I'd like to see us Rocha and Jenas start, and Keane to partner Defoe up top with us keeping the ball on the floor. I'm on the 8am to Gatwick, so hopefully I'll see a few goals, and they've moved me to the away section to accomodate the 15% Southend allocation (see Goons, thats how you segregate fans)

Do you think it will be Keane and Defoe up front? Not a favourite pairing with Jol....Mido and Defoe/Keane would be preferable IMO. Glad to see JJ back. Hoping Rocha makes a good debut. Enjoy the game.

I would hope we start with Mido/Keane (give defoe a rest for wednesday), and atleast it will give Mido a game under his belt to get back to some sort of fitness.... same with Jenas, he needs to get some games under his belt for the push for the rest of the season

Can I listen to the game live anywhere?

Good win - always looked in command. Would have had 2 penalties if the fattest, blindest ref (?) in England was awake!!
Jenas looked good and Rocha had good introduction, Lee infinitely better than A-E, Zokora back to form, Robbie looked like his old self - thought he was brutal on Wednesday. Opposition pretty poor though.
