Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not really.

A bad game today doesn’t take away from the absolute FACT he’s been excellent for us this season. Has fully deserved his place.
These people are crazy. He needs to show zero caution. He sat on his ass for over a year while poor players stunck up the place. Ive zero worries about any of this going to his head. Smells like more 'character' BS to me.

Agreed but I am saying that today is a big test. Have the plaudits made Spence think job done, or job just started

I am hoping it's the latter.

But of course, it would not deflect from an otherwise decent couple of months, but that's all it is, set against a standard in the team that needs to be higher
 
He’s run the gamut with Timo. That dude can’t be helped. BJ I think the shit he cops from fans seriously affects him. Spurs fans are too fucked in the head as a cohort for it to work for him here. Dude should have stayed at forest where they loved him
If he played with a bit of agression and drive the fans would be a lot easier on him i think. Ineffective too often. Hes supposed to have pace but when was last time he destroyed someone with pace and beat them. To call a fan base fucked in the head is a bit much dont ye think.

I doubt Djed was listening to the criticism so I doubt he’s listening to the plaudits either.

Ange pretty much said as much. Said Djed is a reserved steady character so people can assume that means he don’t care but what it also means is that he’s steady and the bigger challenges don’t faze him either.

Djed is just doing his thing regardless of the outside noise either way.

I liked the photo of him with a cigar as a ‘fuck you’ to Neil Warnock who is a cunt imv!

IMO you don't do that to coaches. I'd imagine when all's said and done, Djed will look at his time with Warnock as being at least necessary but I wouldn't be surprised if some part of him ends up with some gratitude. Even if Warnock was wrong, and he probably was, Djed will have learned from being sent away and having to prove him wrong. He will be mentally tougher for it.

I know I'm grateful to every coach or manager who told me I can't do something. Even if they didn't have my best interests at heart when they said it.
