We've just got to make sure we can withstand the early onslaught and then hit them on the break

We've just got to make sure we can withstand the early onslaught and then hit them on the break."As for those who question whether a lifelong Newcastle supporter can be fully committed to the Villa cause on such an occasion, Stone has just one familiar word "Nonsense.". Spurs supporters were singing defiantly about being on the road to another FA Cup final at half-time and in the end they were right. They and their team were still travelling that road, having used up a large slice of the luck which often goes with a run in the Cup by poaching the winner in the second minute of injury time. Spurs supporters were singing defiantly about being on the road to another FA Cup final at half-time and in the end they were right. They and their team were still travelling that road, having used up a large slice of the luck which often goes with a run in the Cup by poaching the winner in the second minute of injury time. Orient's goalkeeper, Ashley Bayes, seemed to have earned his side a lucrative replay at White Hart Lane when he plunged to turn a Sergei Rebrov header round the post.

But from Darren Anderton's corner kick, Gary Doherty, who had spent all afternoon in diligent defence, came up to head the goal which takes Tottenham into the fourth round.It was Third Division Orient's first home defeat of the season and Tottenham's first away win. The Orient assistant manager, Paul Clark, spoke for his stricken players when he said: "It was the quietest our dressing room has been afterwards We are so distraught We came so close until that sucker punch right at the end. But that's the Cup for you."While conceding that Tottenham had been fortunate, their manager, George Graham, insisted his side had got what they expected - a tough game. "Orient were always making us work for it but it was a welcome victory.

Hopefully it will lead to better results away from home from now on."Doherty has played only three first-team games, two in defence and one at centreforward. When Graham pointed out that "he excels in the air" he spoke the truth. The winning header was the first of the many efforts thrown in Bayes' direction which was not blocked or brilliantly saved. In contrast, Neil Sullivan had little to do in the Spurs goal, though Orient battled bravely to take the match to their Premiership opponents until they tired midway through the second half.It was a former Spurs apprentice, Scott Houghton, who carried most threat for Orient as they hurled themselves at Sol Campbell and company, but if they were unlucky to lose they did not deserve to win either. The opening was predictably brisk as Orient pressed hard, full of intent and ambition but they could have fallen a goal behind after 12 minutes had Campbell's close-range effort not been disallowed for offside.With almost half-an-hour gone Orient enjoyed double good fortune.

Ledley King's header from an Oyvind Leonhardsen centre struck the post and from the rebound Stephen Clemence scooped a shot over via the crossbar. Then Tim Sherwood, booed throughout because of an early foul, combined with Clemence to set up Rebrov for a shot which curled just too high.Anderton was next to go close, clearing the bar from outside the area, but Orient were exploiting spaces on the right of Tottenham's defence through Houghton's eagerness and kept the north London side on anxious defence on either side of the interval.Rebrov, Tottenham's £11m man, could have put them ahead in the 50th minute but for the excellent Bayes. He dived at Anderton's cross only for the Orient goalkeeper to hurl himself to his left to beat away the header. The Bayes reflexes were then tested by an awkwardly bouncing shot from Rebrov, the outstanding man up front for his side.Belatedly bestirring himself as Tottenham took command, Anderton got in a fine shot which was deflected for a corner and, seconds after being booked for a foul on Ahmet Brkovic, Sherwood delivered a great pass to Leonhardsen, closing in fast from the right.

The shot was inches away from perfect, just missing the far post as Graham agonised on the touchline.Ferdinand's replacement, Willem Korsten, was next to test Bayes, and when injury time arrived it seemed Orient had earned themselves another chance But even Bayes could not avert the disaster which followed. He did wonders in saving from Rebrov at the expense of a corner, but Anderton's kick and Doherty's head brought cruel disappointment.. Yeovil are so well placed at the top of the Nationwide Conference table that their days as non-League giant killers could soon be behind them. If so, this was an honourable if ultimately frustrating way for their proud record to come to an end.

If so, this was an honourable if ultimately frustrating way for their proud record to come to an end. As the tie went into injury time, the sides looked on their way to Somerset for a replay when one of Yeovil's rare breaks out of defence in the latter stages of the game was broken up by an offside decision.As the ball was pumped into their penalty area, Bolton's habitual match-winner from the substitutes' bench, Michael Ricketts, leapt to bring the ball down and shoot past Tony Pennock.It was Ricketts' 16th goal of the season, 11 of them as a substitute, and it was ironic that it was scored by someone who would probably not have been in the starting line-up even if the manager, Sam Allardyce, had chosen what he regarded as his strongest side.Allardyce picked only three members of the team who won in the League at Preston on New Year's Day. Squad rotation might work well for the likes of Manchester United, but for Bolton Wanderers against a team with Yeovil's tradition of staging FA Cup ambushes, it looked suspiciously like he was taking liberties.That seemed especially true when Yeovil took a shock 24th-minute lead.
