McCreadie Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 An opportunity. To use our brains and take the hysteria out of the home crowd. A solid win would make it 4 out of the last 5. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedMiddle Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 It would be nice to start with left-backs on the left and right backs on the right. Pochs hand was forced against Newcastle and then we looked good! Playing so many players out of position is going to breed negativity in the dressing room. What is wrong with the bloke. Didn't expect this sort of tinkering from him . Let's go for it and play an attacking team. I'd go with a false 9, that could be Sterling, Palmer or Nkunku.

And they beat Newcastle too (on goals not pens). We lost to Wolves by the odd goal and Luton lost 2 games by the odd goal (Arsenal and City). They are not just on a roll, they are almost reaching the surface - 3rd from bottom with teams 1, 2 & 3 points ahead but Luton have a game in hand. Luton should be very very up for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asvaberg Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) An exciting away game, not too far away. Old, intimate and intriguing ground. Wish I could be there and I really hope for a nice, fair and well played match without any injuries on either side, and with three points back to the Bridge.

It will be like a Cup game. We managed to scramble to a 3-2 victory a few seasons ago. Lukaku and Werner of all people scored one each.

My Blood Is Blue Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 We need a sensible and professional performance in this one. Need an early goal to try and quieten the crowd. Luton seem to have found a bit of form, so this won’t be as easy as we expect. We should have enough though, especially with Palmer and Sterling have a bit more of a break. I also agree with @ShedMiddle, we should play 2 FBs, just having one made a difference last night, so having 1 on either side could be revolutionary for this team!

Holymoly Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The manager will send us out with a gameplan which the players will ignore and it will come down to whether the individual talent of the players can overcome the team ethic of Luton. It tells you where the club currently is that we are seriously contemplating dropping points, quite possibly all of them in this game. I hate football.

Dwmh Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I think we all deep down know the real nightmare here. That we should never released a certain player because if he was still out on loan he wouldn't be playing on Saturday. 100% Guaranteed to score. hint - You can Bank on it.

Here’s a photo from that FA Cup win in 2022. Unreserved seating, last in gets behind the pillars!! I think the away allocation is around the 1000 mark, so not many will get to ‘experience’ it. Not that I thought it was all that great the night the photo was taken. If I remember correctly Saul scored for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybozo Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Only way to win this is: Petrovic Gusto Disasi Silva Colwill Gallagher Caicedo Madueke Palmer Mudryk Nkunku Anything else and we know what will happen.

My Blood Is Blue Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Lavia and Mudryk both a doubt for this one, plus the rest that are out. Very possibly risk we see Jackson and Broja starting together again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 12 out of 25 non-penalty goals. Let's remove the two players responsible for 48% of our open play goals. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
