What the coach says: “If our young players can step up, it will give us a great chance of having a successful season,” Spurs’ coach Robbie Tuksar said.
What we say: Sam Thorman is a handy pick up and will work hard for the squad.
It's no secret that Spurs have struggled for numbers and will rely heavily on the successful juniors that have come through.
It will be a tough year for the club, but the players will grow throughout the year.
We predict a tough start, but if the squad stays positive and sticks together, expect Spurs to surprise a few sides in the second half of the year.
Prediction: 11th
If our young players can step up, it will give us a great chance of having a successful season.
