ESPN<\/em>.<\/p>\n“We\u2019ve had a bit of a wobble but there\u2019s a lot of football still to play yet. If we can continue to produce performances like that who\u2019s to say we can\u2019t get out of this relegation battle?<\/p>\n
“The most important thing is that we needed something today and we got something. Who\u2019s to say that it might just be enough by next week?<\/p>\n
“It looks like it\u2019s going to go to the wire. It looks like it\u2019s going to go to Manchester United away and who\u2019s to say us minnows can\u2019t go there and have to do something, because my boys – I\u2019m so proud of them.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve had a bit of a tough couple of months, but I\u2019d just like to remind people that this is the Barclays Premier League and we\u2019ve got a \u00a310 million budget.<\/p>\n
“My boys are earning every penny. They\u2019re brilliant and I love them and I\u2019m very proud.”<\/p>\n
Charlie Adam had a second half penalty saved by Heurelho Gomes before sticking one away just minutes later, although Holloway admitted he thought team-mate DJ Campbell should have had the chance to score it.<\/p>\n
“I was trying to stay calm,” Holloway added.<\/p>\n
“Normally Charlie Adam puts them in – but it was a great save – and sort it out amongst yourselves really who will take the next penalty.<\/p>\n
“I thought DJ Campbell should have took it but Charlie\u2019s gone in and shows what character he\u2019s got \u2013 smashed it in \u2013 and they\u2019ll probably have a row about it on the way home.”<\/p>\n
Spurs striker Jermain Defoe scored soon after to bring the match level and Holloway couldn’t even begrudged the England man for scoring, even though the two dropped points could prove crucial for his side as they try to battle the drop.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m not disappointed; I admire Jermain Defoe,” said Holloway. “If he doesn\u2019t want to play for them he can come and play for us, we\u2019ll borrow him.<\/p>\n
“But at this level it\u2019s so exciting, to see him get it and turn \u2013 yeah there was something wrong with us, we didn\u2019t quite get that right \u2013 but as I say we\u2019re learning and he\u2019s struck it so beautifully.”<\/p>\n
