Their energy and intensity should lend itself well to cup football and it should also help them to avoid being overrun by lower league sides outcompeting them like rabid dogs in a frenzy caused by the sniff of an upset.Despite 2016 being a year ending in a six and not a one, this could yet be Tottenham’s year if they take the cup seriously, Saturday’s trip to Colchester could be a litmus test for their interest and desire to win the cup this season.Having said all of that, Colchester are seven points adrift of League One safety, it should be an easy victory for the Premier League side.
