We are danger of blaming Spurs for all our woes here let try not to use it as a smoke screen, the fact is we still have positions which needed to be filled such as Full Backs and a creative midfielder.   Brunt injured and Lescott gone who is going to play at LB and before people say what about Poco (who I personally quite like) TP thought he was not good enough before why will he suddenly be good enough now.  Don't get me wrong he may have to be, just using this as an example.

I'd like to think Pocognoli would play there ahead of Chester/Mclean whoever else but you're obviously right about this failure. Brunt is in the Northern Ireland squad for this set of qualifiers so I don't think his injury is too serious.
