Fixture Focus - Spurs (17 Mar 2012)



Tottenham Hotspur vs Bolton Wanderers FC
(FA Cup Quarter Finals)







With a run of defeats in the league for the past few weeks, this match could be viewed either as a hassle or a psychological bonus; hassle in a way that we have to play an extra game in a non-league fixture, and psychological bonus in a way that if we win this, it will be a boost for every Yid.

With no league game till this coming Wednesday, Spurs could afford to throw in the first team to salvage some pride after being bruised over the past 3 games. Good news is almost every first teamer is fit, with the exception of Lennon. King and Adebayor may undergo late fitness tests to confirm their lineup.

Bolton will also be viewing this game like us, either as a hassle or a bonus, but it will be a more pressing concern as they are at the wrong end of the table. Coyle may employ his current up-and-in-form striker Klasnic to head their attack.

A replay is a no-go for both teams, and since it is played at the Lane, we have to make full use of our home advantage.

COYS!!!!!
