Thorne doubt
Peter Thorne is reported to be suffering with a dead leg and could be a doubt for the trip to Spurs. No other injuries have been reported and all of the players are keen to play at White Hart Lane.

Graham Kavanagh told the Echo

"The gaffer told us before we went out against Crewe that anybody looking tired would be rested for tomorrow night's game. While we are all aware that the League is the most important thing to all of us, we also want to play in the Tottenham game. I don't know whether it was a little kick up the backside or what. But if he drops any of us there will be a lot of disappointed heads in the changing room. From a player's point of view, these are games you want to play in and keep things ticking over. Every game is a high-pressure fixture, whether it's Tottenham one night or Wigan the next."

Should Thorne not make it then Leo FW could be inline for a recall. What will Spurs make of our secret weapon?

Lennie has admitted he is thinking about changes.

"It may be that three or four players who have been substitutes will start and three or four who have been starting will be substitutes," he said. "It's a big, big day. It will be an emotional evening at Tottenham. Physically I am not worried, but emotionally and mentally I am concerned." He told the Echo.
