Just spell it out . Is it directly related to tonight's game.? I may or may not agree with you. Spurs worthy winners tonight. Don't you know how to quote a post??? Maybe a skill you should learn. Oh and to spell it out - Evans is a scumbag and I hope you guys get relegated and go into administration for having him on your pay roll. Clear enough?

The team played well but Spurs have enough quality to rest Kane. We matched them, albeit on the back foot looking for the Counter, until a Worrldy from Son. Happy that our boys gave them a game. We played well? Couldn’t string 2 passes together.

Under Lowe when have we ever 'given it a go' until going one down?...Maybe the last 20 mins when losing but that's it.
My advice is that whilst Lowe is the manager have low expectations...then instead of an (understandable) feeling of disappointment you'll feel nothing...another game gone, another opportunity not taken, but another low expectation met.
I grant that he can only play with the players he has got but he is managing to drain any excitement out of the game with the negative way the side is set up.
Only tactic from the back yesterday was to go long in the forlorn hope Evans could knock on the ball (but this frequently required Evans to drop off to look for the ball and Cannon was way too far apart to pick up anything). The fear of conceding again dominated whatever passed for a strategy. OK when we did open out a touch it created space Spurs had the pace and quality to exploit.......but , something that Lowe does not recognise, you have to shoot and score to win anything and that requires getting players forward and balls into the box (both Brady's and Browne's crossing yesterday was poor).
Other than backwards I don't know where we are going with this manager and squad.
PS Thought the screens covering the inability to finish Invincible stand was a much needed visual improvement.....how many years has it taken to do this? I believe the initiative came from fans...just shows the complete lack of imagination within the club.

That first half was shocking and embarrassing! Can you imagine if we ever got to the prem with that squad of players and manager. 😡

Final thoughts from me. The best thing about yesterday's game was that you gave Sonny his confidence back. He's been a ghost, a shadow of his normal self all season. Last night's performance put the smile back on his face.
It's been a real pleasure to have been invited & welcomed into your forum for the past week. Get yourselves into the Premiership for godsake. See you again soon!
Cheers!

Look I was there we are not the best in fact our best player was Evans however they were are on a different level Sons goals first class. What is disappointing is we ‘didn’t have a go’ not sure the manager knows how to do that.

It's always easy to criticise & we all want us to Win, Play well etc but we have to recognise just who & what we are - a middle of the road Championship Team, punching above our weight. It's 62yrs since we were in the top League & I am one of the few on this site that saw them play in the top league. To be unhappy at the way we played yesterday is to be in dreamland. All the players worked their socks off & you could not blame their effort. You could say that the distribution from the back was poor but that does not take into account the pressure being placed upon us by the whole Spurs team. We kept them at bay for the 1st half - a success in itself. Then Son showed everyone what a top class Striker he is. Then again, his Wage probably tops the whole of the North End Squad. My glass is always half full, but I will expect them to repeat their efforts next Saturday vs Brizzle, but we will have more time on the ball & their skill level will be on a similar plane to us. We did our best yesterday

I don't think anyone is whinging about loosing to a team such as Spurs, to a man, everyone realised it would be nigh on impossible to beat them under normal circumstances. Not too sure many would complain of lack of effort. Some would quite rightly point out our lack of quality. Many would complain of what they saw as a poor tactical set up, one which was more about keeping the score respectable. I watched some of the Accy game and some of the Reading effort and even though both lost they could be mostly proud of the way their team played. If you play a team who is so superior in quality you have nothing to lose by taking the game to them. I have been so disappointed in my football club for a few years now, we have had a succession of the either "up and not so coming" or "talk but can't walk" types. Lowe is just the latest in a long line, Ridsdale can't be allowed to choose the next one especially if The Hemmings are controlling the budget. Are the days gone where a Championship team can get the ball down and play it through midfield to a striker who can get a shot on target or am I asking too much. I guess I would be christened a "bed wetter" on t'other site but I'm past caring at the moment. Sadly I think that I will be on the next home game.

All fair points but I do think Grayson’s league one side would have had more of a go. There’s not much pride in what I saw.

Contrast with Wrexham indeed. 1 down after a minute lose two players inside ten but score 3 against a side 3 divisions above them.

Notice first goal Ledson miles away from Son and his other think it was our centre back turned like the QE2 never later a glove on them and as for Ledson division one at very best.

Ledson should have been a few yard closer, no doubt about it. Storey looked like he ducked out of the first goal and his lack of mobility completely exposed for the 2nd. Lindsay slipped for the 3rd. It is a bit harsh to judge against quality opposition but in all honesty it's just highlighted what a lot of us already knew. Neither Storey or Lindsay are realistically good enough to be a regular in a top 10 championship team and both have been off the boil recently. Bambo looked good before Norwich, get him back in. At least he overlaps. I don't think I even noticed that Hughes was playing on Saturday. Whether that is a good thing or bad thing at this point I do not know.

Defence wise I thought we did quite well I honestly thought we would concede at least 5 against a side on a different planet to ourselves what was disappointing was the total lack of cohesion between the 2 strikers " not Evans fault by the way" and the midfield they could have played with 11 out field players and we wouldnt have threatened their goal we obviously dont do any shooting practice in training and dont get any instructions from the bench to try

Hi All,
Realise it’s a few days but…
Was a great occasion and good to see a proper club representing itself well. I thought you lot showed a bit too much respect to us and simply soaking up the pressure meant it was just a matter of time before we scored.
As a bit of an out of date old school legacy fan, I thought some of the behaviour from a minority of both sets of fans was a bit tragic. No need for any disrespect and we certainly had a few idiots in our ranks, but overall it was a good game with a decent atmosphere.
Social club near the away end was good for a pre match drink and getting away was easy. Sadly didn’t get up early enough to properly explore the recommended ale houses.
Good luck for the season to fellow lillywhites.
P.S. thinking you own the colour white is a bit tragic too is I’m being honest… some money wasted on banners there!
Cheers.

I wonder why this didn't come out in the press after Notts Forest got slated for flying to Blackpool in the previous round?
Apparently (I have it on good authority, but it is 3rd hand) the Spurs players were also flown from London to Blackpool. However, the Tottenham team coach/bus drove up to Preston empty, just so it could transfer the players from Blackpool airport to the hotel, the hotel to the ground and back, before ferrying them back to the airport for their flight back down to London, before the coach drove back down to London empty!
I mean if they really do need to fly, in these days of heightened concern about carbon emissions, why don't they just hire a local coach, or ask whether they could use the PNE coach for the transfers, rather than have a coach drive a 500 miles round trip whilst empty.
