He has also let 1 in:'(

The goal sounds like it came from poor defending, apparently their player was allowed time to turn and shoot in the box.
Since their goal we have had a chance with Prosser forcing a save from their keeper.

is it on line anywhere?

 

[Hazey]

Just following the Southend United Twitter page, nowhere else as far as I know... @SUFCRootsHall

Cresswell and Tomlin are out injured. Not actually heard that Tomlin was injured from anywhere official until I tweeted the club tonight, they've kept it quiet for some reason.

this was the description on Spurs Twitter...

16 - GOAL! Townsend beat four players on his way to the byline, cross to near post collected by Coulibaly, who rifled into top corner. 1-0.

4 players!...:nope:

 

[Bratislava Blue]

37 - GOAL! Break, worked the extra man well, Smith on the overlap, Carroll's shot blocked but Kane buried rebound. 2-0.

SUFC Twitter: Spurs make it 2-0 through Harry Kane after a passing move around the 6 yard box he scrambles it in under challenge from Hall and Clohessy...

anyone know the crowd?

 

[Hazey]

Felt quite confident after the Ipswich game but we seem to be all over the place at the minute. Still only a friendly I guess.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

A friendly against a very good Tottenham side, they have some good young players. No surprise if we take a bit of a beating.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

anyone know the crowd?

I know some of them.

 

[simac21]

wouldnt think the crowd is gonna be much more than 1000 unless Tottenham have brought more than Millwall.
£15 to see a Tottenham Youth Side doesnt appeal to alot of people!!

He has also let 1 in:'(

Just because he's let 1 in doesn't mean it's his fault.

2 now and I think it could be a lot more.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Spurs youngsters playing some great one touch football. We have made some poor choices when in advanced positions. Noone standing out but Leonard is having a mare. Bentley has made a couple if stops. Spicer and Kane have been busy. Harris and Eastwood are dining on scraps.

Crowd of about 2k with 500 odd from spurs

Still doesn't mean it's his fault. Only stupid people look at goals conceded stats and completely decide on that. The defence plays a huge part and the goalkeeper can only do so much some time.

David Crown has told my mate that Hall doesnt want to be here anymore and wants a move just like Moshni

David Crown has told my mate that Hall wants to be here and doesn't want a move unlike Mohsni.
