Review
Baily, for Spurs, left the pitch pretty earliy after a head injury and missed both our opening goal then the Spurs equaliser. He came back on shortly afterwards, but then Bill Hullett got a second half back injury. He went of injured and then, after returning, had to leave the pitch altogether leaving us with 10 men at the end the game.
