Spurs Vs. West Brom

Noureddine Naybet (hamstring), Anthony Gardner, Michael Brown (both foot), Noe Pamarot (knee) and Pedro Mendes (broken toe) all remain out for the visit of the Albion tomorrow night. Mido is on his way back to full fitness so may play some part but I won't be very pleased if he walks back into the team. I know people will disagree with me here but he IS the fourth choice striker in my opinion. Defoe, Keane and Kanoute are all better players and have all scored more goals, more often than Mido. In fact, excluding his debut, his performances have resulted in no goals and a knackered player after the hour.

Dawson should continue in the back four after his excellent debut - in fact I expect the same team as played Liverpool with maybe only Defoe coming in for Keane. The one piece of bad news is that the worlds most skillful left back, Atouba, is back from his three match suspension. Hopefully goal of the season will keep Edman ahead of him in the starting eleven.

Now time for the old cliche - WBA are "fighting for their lives" and Lawrenson has picked us for the win on the BBC site so we are really up against it. However it is a game we MUST win if our hopes of finishing in the top seven and thus participating in the UEFA cup are to come true. As I write we sit in seventh two points above 'Boro who have a game in hand. We have to visit them and the scum so it is important we win our last three home games to put us in the driving seat. If 'Boro don't take maximum points against Fulham tonight (fingers crossed) we can really take advantage if we can beat WBA tomorrow.

COYS!
