that has finished 4-1 to Spurs.
Ive seen some bad performances by Bolton, ive seen some exceptional performances by the away team, i felt tonight we saw neither.
First half, both teams were poor, Spurs were better than us though.
Modric goal was a fantastic strike that caught us all out...unfortunate it shouldnt have been a corner as Sandro handled the ball to control it, should have been a foul but its gone against us on that occasion.
Ngog should have scored, forced a good save from Friedal.
and then Boyata....i was already celebrating...couldnt believe he blazed it over.
Second half we were still abit nervous, but then SKD won the header, Ngog did his usual flick...and then NRC slammed it home. Fantastic, game on, and the crowd were well up for it.
We then had a 10-15 minute spell, it was all us, nothing seemed to drop for us...and we felt a goal was coming....
but then...we got too confident, we pushed way to far forward whilst Spurs were absording the pressure, and they caught us out with two suckerpunch counter attack goals almost from nowhere twice in 2 minutes. The massive difference in pace caught us out, it was a mistake to get so high up the pitch... great pace and pass by Bale...and VDV doesnt miss from 12 yards...
Great ball in behind by Modric...Lennon onto it, god hes quick...and it was all too easy for Adebayor...
4th goal....well, everyone had given up by this point, very cool from Adebayor.
So what are the positives?
Well, i thought Ream was excellent, despite the scorline. He won alot of vital tackles, as did Wheater, and he won the ball in the air, and his interceptions were vital.
Josh Vela. im excited by this guy, yes he lacks abit of discipline right now, very raw, first touch is often too heavy, but i like the look of him...he looks like Mark Davies...but with the confidence to spread the ball and play it forward...he pass to Petrov and chip over the top for Boyata were very good...id like to see him over Mavies.
And we played well really...other than 3-4 moments, but its unfortunate that they had so many moments.
We had just as many as vital chances, Ngog, Boyata, Davies/Eagles, Eagles...but the clinical nature, that Spurs possess was, unfortunately for us, was lacking from our own play.
I cannot belive Spurs have come away 4:1 winners....teams have come to the Reebok this year, and been alot better than Spurs tonight, and didnt win themselves (Swansea). But we got too giddy, got too high up the pitch sensing we were gonna score a 2nd...and they took full advantage of the fact we became too confident.
Onto to West Brom...hopefully we can get a much better result than tonight....We are still well in this survival race...and i know we can do it! COYWM!
Cannot believe...

Rover here!
Stuffed at home with a GD worse than ours..come on lads, i'd love to see the NW teams stay in the prem but clueless clowns like kean and coyle do neither of us any favours.
Rhetoric and denial seem to come easy during pre and post match interviews, but points escape us.
I would say that Owen Coyle is 10 times the manager Kean is but three points and a worse GD says he's just as clueless?
Good Luck and all the best, but I fear that a QPR win Vs Stoke will see us both in the Championship with the Dingles

QPR will beat Stoke, in my opinion, but not City.... meaning we need 4 points. The performance tonight was better than the scoreline suggests.... To do a Sammy Lee, there were some positives. We can get a result on Saturday.... I'm less keen on going to Stoke and needing a point! COYWM!!!!!! Spot on post Holden's Hairstylist, btw.
