1) Beat Morecambe with something to spare.
2) Score a relevant goal against Spurs, even if we go on to lose heavily. It would be great to go 1-0 up or equalise, or even pull a goal back to make it 1-2 on 65 minutes, under the lights, in the rain.
Re: Hopes for next week
2We all know Spurs have a very strong squad and are desperate for a trophy this season, although I don't expect them to send the complete 1st team down here, but they send a second string down here at their peril, the pitch is now showing signs of wear and tear we will have played on it twice in the previous week and are used to it, Spurs are used to playing on that carpet at Wembley so by the time they get used to RP we may have caused an upset. ( NEVER SAY NEVER ).

3Their best team wasn’t that impressive at Southampton today. Outside top 4 , will they bring Kane and Alli , I wonder? Let them worry about us , they won’t like it up ‘em. What I’m worried about is the gamesmanship , there’s some right tarts in the Premiershit and they’re better actors than Olivier and Gielgud.

Re: Hopes for next week
5They got United, Liverpool, arsenal and juventus in two weeks starting the Wednesday after they play us, can't see them sending many 1st team players down, which I think gives us a chance pushing then for a result. Don't think we can beat them but if we play like we did against Leeds a draw is possible.
Re: Hopes for next week
6The pressure is obviously on Spurs next week and that, coupled with the fact that there is no way they'll play their big stars and risk injury with Manchester United, Arsenal and Juventus their next fixtures, make it upset territory for me.
Throw in an evening kick off under the lights with a partizan atmosphere and I'll most definitely be sticking 20 quid on us to beat them.
Had a feeling in my bones about Leeds and I also do for Spurs.
Stuff Morecambe on Tuesday and confidence will be sky high.

Re: Hopes for next week
7We were poor today. Eriksen was a big miss (illness) although Alderweireld could be back (whether he will be risked is another matter).
No idea what team we will put out.
Something like
Vorm
Kyle Walker-Peters * Alderwiereld * Foyth * Davies
Sissoko * Wanyama * Dier * Lamela
Son * Llorente
Subs.
Gazzaniga * Sanchez * Vertongen * Dembele & 3 kids.

9You may well be right, I think it’ll be a strong spine with a sprinkling of youngsters plus a decentish bench just in case a f”ck up occurs, still think you’ll have too much for us but hoping we give you a scare or two.TBWAH wrote:We were poor today.

We could have Tashan Oakley-Booth and Keziah Sterling on the bench. Who knows.

13I Hope to surpass my late Grandads 5th round 1949 Portsmouth defeat, and moreover reach Round 6, but will be happy with a 5th round Home Draw COME ON 'U MIGHTY PORT
Re: Hopes for next week
14I also hope that the atmosphere is good against Spurs as against Leeds it was pretty flat for most of it.
Re: Hopes for next week
15It'll be something like that, I should think they'll stick with Pochettino's preferred 4-2-3-1 though.TBWAH wrote:We were poor today. Eriksen was a big miss (illness) although Alderweireld could be back (whether he will be risked is another matter).
