Ask anyone from any tabloid publication and it’s pure doom and gloom at Upton Park these days. Well it has been for the last few years really….I’m sure we’re all getting quite hardened to dealing with it.
It’s nice once in a while to focus on some positives and I think the prospect of Terry Dixon has to be mentioned. Most Tottenham fans were confident that the fella was going to be a big talent, but all agreed that his injury history was holding him back significantly. The gamble on our part to take him on board still does remain, in my eyes, a gamble – but seemingly at the minute, one definitely worth taking.
He stuck two away in a 5-2 reserve win last night (Dyer grabbed a couple and Nouble got one more – also a big talent), and played a full 90mins…a lot of credit has to go to our backroom team for bringing him back to fitness. At 19 he still has a huge future ahead of him and it encourages me to know that in him and Nouble we have two exciting understudies to our current first choice strikers and potentially, a couple of players who could also competently start up front with Cole.
COYI!

Good call Sam! Nice to take a positive out of what was a great performance by the reserves.We seem to be getting a reverse effect from a team lacking power up front and a solid defence, to an abundance of goals not always in the right net.

I think it’s also partly encouraging to see Dyer grab a couple for himself. I know he’s never going to be playing hatfuls anymore for us, but he’s still a very good player and if we can use him to impact games then I’m please he’s around

Another good post, we have to be positive at the moment. One more plus is Franco, miles better than Tristan and Di Michele. I’m sure he will bag a few more this season.

Franco is most certainly better than them two – put together
He seems to have a very smart footballing head on his shoulders. Shrewd work management team!
