Pete Sixmsith was highly impressed by our effort and movement, which made it all the more disappointing that Spurs were able to snatch a late and undeserved winner. Performances like this in earlier games would have seen us a long way clear of the bottom. The link-ups between Defoe, Borini, Lens and Toivonen were sharp, well worked and promising but, despite hitting the woodwork twice, there was no way through. Come back to these pages for Dick Advocaat’s post-match e-mail and Sixer’s full report …

My first trip to the SOL for a while. My seven word verdict:
“We never looked like a relegation team”
How good was Kaboul today? Well, when he put his hand into his back pocket to get his wallet he was shocked to find Harry Kane still in there!
We’re improving , when we’ll be good enough to win a game , the jury is still out .
Not a bad 1st half,second half faded badly …in fact last 15 mins we looked knackered.More points go begging at home against a team with no previous wins.
Small margins,but we need to get our noses in front and stay there in a game real soon.
