Weds battered for 90 mins but scrape a draw, Josh not got off the bench

Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday: Cameron Dawson penalty save earns Owls draw

Edit - don't bother reading. There's no mention of anything Spurs. Don't know why I posted

Thought they defended really well - if they can keep that up it would be a great environment to bring Onomah into. They really lacked a link between midfield and attack last night, I was surprised Onomah didn't get 20 minutes at least.
 
Incidentally I think the squad rotation for u18 match is possibly due to the fact that on Tuesday there is a Checkatrade match v Portsmouth.

And as its the international break we will be missing a couple of players (eh Eyoma, Maghoma) on top of the injuries we have so a couple more u18's may be involved than previously

I'm guessing the latter as they've been in Spurs Academy for several years (and now aged 15) but don't actually know !

Perhaps worth adding we also have Luis Binks and Phoenix Patterson who are both 2 years older who have played for Scottish youth sides - so we now have 4 in total. The last Scottish youth player we had on our books was Jordan Archer (GK) but they've been pretty rare in the last decade or so to to have 4 (and we released Phoenix brother in the summer who was a decent Scottish u16 FB as well) is pretty unusual !

i'm old enough to remember Ally Dick, seeing him score a belter at Kenilworth Road in a 4-2 win and thinking we've found a good one here.

True,

But in the circa 30 years since Steve Archibald and Richard Gough other than 2 or 3 such as Colin Calderwood and Neil Sullivan we've had pretty few Scottish players in Spurs first team and only a few in the Academy.

How times have changed - up until maybe the 1970's/early 80's every top club had one or two decent Scottish players
