A tale of two halves

So there we have it, another season has drawn to an end and with it, a barrage of season reviews comes flooding towards all those with a computer, laptop or smartphone to hand. Before I divulge this piece I have to warn readers; this is one of those season reviews. But, rather than focus on a month-by-month rundown as favoured by some, To the Lane and Back will look to 2011 Tottenham Hotspur and their ugly 2012 half-cousin, thus the clichéd title.

So, sit back and read through what has been another rollercoaster ride for all Spurs fans.

Will Dawson walk back into the starting XI?

Eight games unbeaten and the case for a top four finish looks all the more stronger for Tottenham. After a disasterous start to the season, it looks as thought the good ship Spurs has steadied under Harry Redknapp. And everyone knows a great team is based on a solid defence.

Building from the back is pivotal to the best teams and with Younes Kaboul and Ledley King, when fit, proving the preferred partnership to Redknapp, it looks as though it will be tough for Michael Dawson to break his way back into the starting XI.

With that in mind, To the Lane and Back analyses whether Dawson will be able to walk back into the team and the competition that lies in front of him as the 27-year-old steps up his rehabilitation from an Achilles injury.
