Does our defeat against Blackburn was beneficial one ?

we were disappointment and angry with the way we lost in our last match as the poor results continues here and we still 18th.

But I'm thinking now about Ramos thinking if we won or not conceded that late goal. He couldn't make analyse or thinking about our results more than tactical errors by former manager or thinking about the morale about him.

But while we lost with that why .. I think he can now judge what we need ? which wrong things are here ? how to improve the team ? how to do tactically with some of our players aren't performing ?

that's should be clear now for him to solve defending problems & make good CM partnership plus more fitness work as he would be heard about a lot of late goals recently.

we can see that when we read news about double session of trainin after match day. And we can see that about some news today: Ramos' warning to unfit Spurs players

this could make Ramos with clear pre-view about us and make wainning start with us, far better than won against Blackburn and inconsistent results under new man.

The 3 points would have come in handy as I’m sure Ramos will do his homework on the season so far. Every game has to count if we are gonna make use of this season.

Ramos would not have based his views on the players' fitness on conceding a late goal in one game. He will have built up his views on quality and fitness over the last few months, since it now seems clear that it was only a question of time before he arrived. And he will obviously amend and enhance his views over the coming weeks and months, and put into practice his ideas for improvements.

In any event, in my view the game against Blackburn was one of our better performances. There were a number of positives from the game: Lennon's continuing improvement after his injury, Malbranque's performance, Kaboul refraining from trying to dribble his way through the match, more effort from Berbatov, Keane's continuous endeavour, a wider-awake performance from Chimbonda, (I'll exclude Huddlestone, because I clearly see a lot more than others in his contribution) and our overall performance, which was marred by our not taking our chances, our conceding a very unlucky equaliser, and a lack of belief afterwards. To me the main disappointment in the game was the final result. Clearly the general tenor of our performances this season has been very much under par, so taking the Blackburn game in isolation would not be very intelligent, but in no way could I see the defeat as a blessing in disguise.

In fact, we played a good deal better against Blackburn than in either of last season's fixtures against them, or the simply awful away game in 2005-2006. Perversely, we contrived to lose this one. I imagine this is hardly the first Spurs game Ramos has seen—I'd be quite amazed, not to say horrified, if he hadn't done his homework very thoroughly indeed before committing himself.
