Ben Davies sends apology to Tottenham fans after Colchester embarrassment

Ben Davies has apologised to Tottenham fans after admitting the team has “let them down.”

Tottenham suffered a huge Cup upset after being dumped out by League Two Colchester and that has left Davies admitting they now face a “huge game” with Southampton on Saturday to revive their season.

Spurs defender Davies said: "We just have to apologise to the supporters, too. We let them down. They travel with us everywhere and they’re first-class. We need everyone behind us now to help us push on through this difficult time.

“We have to win these games. We have to show we’re a better side than this. It’s a tough feeling right now.

“It (Southampton) is a huge game for us. We need to start getting that winning feeling back because it seems a long way away after losing games like that.

“It’s difficult to put your finger on at the moment, there’s a lot of emotions flying around. It hurts a lot.”

Eric Dier added: “I don’t think it’s the first time we’ve been through periods like this and the only thing is to bounce back, work even harder and I’m sure we will.

“We must do better. We are not good enough in the final third or with the final ball and that is not just the forwards but the whole team.”
