Samba's goal for Blackburn was brilliant
True, top quality.
It may have been another defeat but there was a lot to give me some encouragement. The majority of the players upped their performances by a couple of notches, Hudd went backwards a couple by trying to impress the new man rather than doing the things we know he can do, but Blackburn's win was more down to their isolated good play and fortune rather than they being the better team throughout.
For most of the game Spurs dominated and Friedel had one of those matches that he often does against us, Benni's deflected shot and Samba's class at the death. Tough defeat to take but I think there will be confidence in the knowledge that Blackburn are always a very difficult side to beat and, with luck, we could have been out of sight by halftime.
