Blackburn Vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Last week was supposed to see the return of winning ways away from White Hart Lane and it started well but we then managed to push the self destruct button and then keep thumping it harder and harder and harder until the damn thing was smashed to pieces! Hopefully we have not gotten around to fixing the red button that Spurs have been hitting for the last 15 years. Things are still not too late to fix and a win tomorrow would put us back into the top half of the table and see us back on course towards challaneging for a top 5 finish. Another defeat sees us continue to drop off the pace. Seven away wins, coupled with our home form would see us top six so we have to start getting them now.

Blackburn have plenty of injuries to worry about but will fight for every ball and I'm not sure how we shall stand up to that considering recent away form. With JJ injured I think Davids should take his place. Often criticised for his poor play out on the left I have more often than not come away from games when Davids has played central thinking that he still is a class player. With JJ injured he can slot in next to Zokora to defend the back four after last weeks shambolic defending. Lennon looks likely to miss out so Ghaly can go on the right. To add a bit more creativity into the middle Murphy may go wide left or Tainio could be recalled. Berbatov is still a class act but the lack of service to him last week was pathetic and he can hardly be blamed for that. However, maybe the more physical Mido could be recalled to line up alongside Keane. I think Keane will start ahead of Defoe again as he offers Jol more options being able to drop deep and play in a five man midfeild if need be. The defnece continues to pick itself although the thought of Lee at right back does not fill me with confidence after the poor show last week.

Form book says Balckburn win but poor runs have to come to an end at some point. What better way to move up the table by going to Blackburn and beating them. Jol has been talking tough this week about the side being more physical and determined. Let's hope they have been listening!

COYS!
