Martin Jol has reminded disappointed fans that until recently Tottenham had been one of the three teams in England over the past twelve months that had always managed to protect its lead in games.
"We rarely gave away anything after taking the lead in games," he said.
However, Spurs have conceded very late on three times already this year. There were also the points conceded against West Ham at White Hart Lane in November and Grimsby Town’s late winner in the Carling Cup prior to that. It’s a critical next few games for Spurs to prove their genuine potential this season with Wigan, Blackburn and then Chelsea (hopefully they’ll have a new pitch by March 11th).
