Spurs v West Ham NOW!!!

[Knarf44]

There's a game going on at the Lodge now between a Spurs XI and West Ham.

It's on the Spammers site but they don't give any details about the Spurs side but it sounds like our U19s taking on many of their first teamers returning from injury and fringe players. Ian Hendon the Spammers Coach in charge used to be on Spurs books a few years ago and their side is being captained by another ex Spur, George Moncur.

1-1 HT

9 mins - GOAL! The hosts take the lead through their No9, who gets in behind Faye and calmly slots the ball to the left of Boffin and into the bottom corner.

2-1 now.Our No.8 just scored

Do you reckon our number 9 would be Coulibaly or Kane?

Apparently our No. 7 is diminutive. Could be Ceballos? Or Caroll?:shrug:

Funny how West Ham call it their development squad as if its their U'19's or something.... they have Piquionne, Carew, Bouba Diop & Abdulaye Faye playing.... all have over 100 premier league appearances ! Mugs.

Carew has played in a Champions League final, that's fucking hilarious.

They had a couple of other players with first team experience too.

Our side was said to have '7 of the Spurs X1 who beat Inter 7-1 in the Next Gen Series - not sure who, but none of those had played a first team match. FYI, this is the Spurs team in that match

Miles
Barthram, Stewart (sub Olaya 75), Vejkovic, Day
Luango (sub Hawkins 73), Nicholson (sub Ceballos 46)​

Gomelt, Dombaxe, Pritchard
Coulibaly​

West Ham also said that none of our first team played.

That would suggest it was it was mainly our under 19's (maybe reinforced by Kane, Parrett and Bostock at best) versus a reasonably experienced West Ham team.


The 2-2 result was ok in that context - played on a Monday morning...could it have been a test for a couple of them to be on the bench for Thursday's UEFA game ? If so it cannot be Ceballos, Coulilaby, Luango, Vejkovic, Olaya or Gomelt as none of them could qualify for List B.

that was before the Harts second leg,was't it.

Nicholson came on as a sub in that game

ok Nicholson had 15 minutes in the dying embers of the Hearts game, I forgot about that until just after I pressed the send button, but I think that's the only one - the remains that the West Ham side was vastly more experienced than Spurs X1

very much so.
The match updates sounded very bias to west ham as well, and i expect their highlights to be that way as well.
Hope we get a write up as well on the OS

 

[theShiznit]

West Ham's cup final so early in the season?

Hope we get a write up as well on the OS

I agree but as West Ham only referred to Spurs by shirt numbers, I suspect that the only thing we might find out is that a match was played behind closed doors !

 

[chrissivad]

there are other ways of finding out who played, someone will ask one of the lads on twitter

That happens, we played one last week as well for King's fitness.
No mention anywhere.

 

[Bruts]

At a guess Cameron Lancaster was our number 8, as he said he scored 1st goal of season and should have had another!

 

[chrissivad]

he said first goal of the season, not that he scored the first goal.
would guess its just his first of the season

Grant Ward struck in injury time to rescue a point for our Under-18s in the Premier Academy League at Southampton.

The full-back entered the fray as a substitute with 20 minutes and was in the right place at the right time to nod home Jack Barthram's cross as it finished 2-2 at the Saints' Staplewood Training Ground.

The lads trailed twice as Southampton opened the scoring on 20 minutes, Shaq Coulthirst levelled a minute into the second half but the home took the lead again late on before Ward's leveller.

"We thoroughly deserved a draw," said Under-18s coach Alex Inglethorpe.

"We played really well, especially in the second half and I was delighted with out style of play.

"We started well, looked comfortable but went a goal behind after a small error led to a counter-attack. That was very much against the run of play.

"Shaq Coulthirst levelled quickly in the second half and we had another chance when Kenneth McEvoy went through one-on-one.

"Southampton went ahead with 10 minutes to go and we felt a little aggrieved because we thought there was a handball in the build-up.

"But we kept going and managed to score right at the end.

"It stemmed from Jack Barthram, who was outstanding. He got forward from right-back and had a shot that was saved, managed to get to the rebound first and stood up a fine cross for Gavin Ward to finish."

Spurs U18s: Miles; Barthram, Ekong, Day, A.McQueen (Angol, 80); Dombaxe (Modeste, 83), Ball, Munns, McEvoy, Michael-Percil (Ward, 70); Coulthirst.

Our young Spurs XI team performed well to earn a 2-2 draw against a strong West Ham XI in a friendly at Spurs Lodge on Monday.
Oscar Jansson, Dean Parrett and John Bostock provided the experience for Tim Sherwood's side with the Hammers fielding a wealth of Premier League experience including Abdulaye Faye, Papa Bouba Diop, Frank Nouble, Frederic Piquionne and John Carew.
We struck first in the eighth minute as Alex Pritchard burst forward before releasing Cameron Lancaster through on goal and the striker finished well from 14 yards.
West Ham levelled after 15 minutes when Piquionne took advantage of a moment's hesitation to latch onto goalkeeper Ruud Boffin's huge clearance and lift the ball over the advancing Jansson.
Lancaster missed a great opportunity to restore the lead two minutes later when he skied Bostock's cross from the byline. Cristian Ceballos then lobbed over Boffin but onto the roof of the net.
Jansson had to be alert to palm out Carew's piledriver from 25 yards and Piquionne fired wide as it stayed 1-1 at the break.
The teams traded chances at the start of the second half. Lancaster fired wide and Parrett had Boffin clutching at thin air to his right as 20-yarder zipped just wide.
At the other end, Freddie Sears missed the target with a one-on-one chance and Carew glanced just wide from close range.
Parrett restored the lead with a fine goal in the 72nd minute. Picking up a misplaced pass on halfway, the midfielder burst forward, raced past the last defender and then clipped over Boffin into the far corner.
The lead only lasted five minutes though as Driver picked out Piquionne in the box and the striker had time to control, turn, skip around Jansson and slide home for 2-2.
Pritchard forced a fine save from Boffin and Jansson was up to Montenegro's 20-yarder as the scoreline stayed 2-2.

Spurs XI: Jansson; Barthram, Veljkovic, Nicholson, Stewart; Luongo, Parrett; Pritchard, Bostock, Ceballos; Lancaster.

Interesting, no Kane, Carroll or Fredericks. Maybe the first two are starting on Thursday or injured.
