It’s crunch time for Sammy Lee. A defeat at Birmingham and a lucky draw against a bunch of Macedonian goatherds. A heavy loss to Spurs and he’s toast.
‘There have obviously been a lot of changes. When you’ve had eight years of the same thing maybe the club is just going through a fresher way of managing things. I certainly believe in what Sammy Lee is trying to do and so do all the players.’
A pity you didn’t think of that before you started gobbing off at Portsmouth.
Ricardo Vaz Te and Stelios are absent with long term injuries. Christian Wilhelmsson hopes to return. Jlloyd Samuel has a hamstring problem. Good. Gerald Cid doesn’t. Pity
Should have fun against Spurs’s dodgy back line.
Ledley King has a long term sicknote and Anthony Gardner is also out.
Play Cid against him. He’ll be too busy laughing to score.
Spurs have lost their last five games at the Reebok. But then so had Newcastle.
Andre Marriner. Andre Previn could do a better job.
