It's kinda a free hit, just wanna see actual effort and passion unlike the absolute shite under Frank

Woolwich are unfortunately light years ahead of us. Tudors real work starts against Fulham, home to palace, home to Forest, home to Brighton, home too Leeds, away Sunderland, home to Everton .
Get 12 points from that lot and we're fine

Woolwich, pool, villa and Chelsea games more about effort and green shoots
 
Us steering clear of the drop isn’t dependent on today. We have players coming back and favourable fixtures. Nothing is decided today.


What today does offer is a chance to take bragging rights, to put a dent in their armour and deal them a psychological blow. The stadium needs to be rocking, the hostility towards their players and fans needs to be toxic, the players need to get at them and pressure them at every chance. It’s been shown what happens when teams do.

I don't like the word free hit but there is less pressure on us as opposed to them so we should be going into this match with less to lose, the margins are much more finer for them if they even drop points compared to us, a draw would be more devastating for them because they really need to win more than us.

If we do lose then we can't be losing like the last NLD, we need to fight in this match and keep it competitive so just we have something to hold onto going into the rest of the season.
 
If I could have access to the Spurs dressing room today;

I'd take ten of Spurs biggest meathead supporters in there with me, knuckles dragging along the floor, already bleeding, and keep it simple.

I'd look each one of them them in the eye, finger pointing at them, and say;

"If we have to listen to those cunts celebrating, in our stadium, singing; "you'll always be shit", 61 never again, or going down with the West Ham, don't bother walking around the stadium after the game; we will be in here waiting for you"

You cunts.

Interesting how many permutations exist for Tudor despite the small squad size he has to play with - for example

Playing 3 at the back - Palhinha, Dragusin, van de Ven or a Back 4
Maybe wing backs - Spence and Souza or full back utilising Gray
Midfield Options (two or three) - Gray, Gallagher , Bissouma, plus AM Simons
Attack - Tel, Solanke, Kolo Muani, Richarlison (might be able to play H1 or H2 ?) ... could deploy Simons on LW.
