The two sides played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Reebok Stadum on Sunday as a Jermain Defoe effort cancelled out Davies' opener.[LNB]Davies provided the finish to a well-worked passing move to break the deadlock after 34 minutes and he was delighted with the way Bolton performed.[LNB]The Trotters are widely regarded as a team that plays to their physical strengths and Davies feels they should get more credit when they produce a stylish display like they did against Spurs.[LNB]Tottenham's own approach has come under scrutiny in recent weeks and Davies thinks they played a lot of long balls to Peter Crouch.[LNB]Davies can understand why Spurs would look to utilise Crouch's height but reckons Bolton were more attractive to watch on this occasion.[LNB]"We played some good stuff in this one. We're still labelled a certain way," the striker said in The Sun.[LNB]"But Tottenham played a lot of long balls into Crouchy, he's a good weapon.[LNB]"I just felt the roles were reversed a bit today."[LNB]Tottenham will be favourites to come out on top in the replay at White Hart Lane but Davies is confident Bolton can progress to the quarter-finals.[LNB]"We've lost the home advantage but we've proved we can outplay them. The amount of chances we created gives us hope," he explained.[LNB]"We'll go down there and give it a good go. We're still in the hat."[LNB][LNB]
