    Hoffman

    Before my time but wasn’t that next to one of the cloakrooms near Rev Kelly’s “monastery”. Or was that the pottery studio? Don’t know why there’s so much hate for Hoffman - 100% Sky Blue, former head of the EPL, clearly wants what’s best for the club. Yeah, he’s made some judgement errors but...

    You can almost imagine Wilson saying: “Howay Gaffa I’ll take a penultee nae botha”

    Godden Gyok Hamer Kelly Fadz Kelly and Fadz are that bit older and more calm, I think, under pressure. If it’s all square after 5 Start with Wilson taking pen 6 - might sound daft but I reckon that keepers probably take pens against each other in training and he’s the type to stay cool...

    To be fair, my initial mark of “2” for Godden was an outlet of utter frustration. As others have pointed out, he’s an out and out poacher who relies on service and through balls. Today he looked like a competition winner who’d won the chance to play, totally ineffective in the role he was...

    Just a technical question (just because I don’t know and maybe one of the rules-knowledge bods on here might know) but is he eligible for selection for us now their season has finished? Not saying he should be, but technically could he be? Also (gulp) Waghorn? Just technically, if the squad...

    The more I think about it Godden must be dropped to the bench. Think this way: It’s not ridiculous to imagine us playing 120-130 mins on Wednesday and you need him to take a pen rather than have him wandering around like a mugged tourist all that time and MR not taking him off (because he...

    Don’t agree with that. He got stuck in to the duals and held his position to block off infield balls really well. He’s no Hamer but I’d keep him in and if MR insists with playing Godden bring Sheaf in to play alongside him to receive short passes, Sheaf can then make some incisive forward...

    I’m hoping O’Hare is our secret weapon and he’s been secretly brought back to fitness and will be in the team like a Jack-in-the-box. Obviously unrealistic but we can dream.

    Wilson 7 Clean sheet. One great save but some distribution poor. Little to do Not-on Coffee 7 Seemed to be the go-to outlet but a totally mixed bag. Some great play, some errors and easy turnovers. Maybe should have been subbed off for extra energy on the pitch and to save his for Wednesday...

    Might be holding back a few gate receipts rather than split the pot.

    C’mon MR. Sheaf on and Hamer pressing their back line. They’ve far too much time.

    Yes, This gives Hamer an opportunity to push forward more. Arguably Hamer is just as an effective chance converter as Godden atm.

    Overrun in midfield. Godden off HT for Sheaf. Godden still jumps too early for every header. Lands when ball arrives.

    And So It Begins

    But surely MR will wait until we know if we are going up or not. That’d be the sensible thing to do, right? Now, Sonny Bradley is the Luton captain and a bit of a terrace hero etc. It’s been announced (the other day) that he’s leaving at the end of the season. Sensible? I’ll state that I think...

    And So It Begins

    I wonder if many decisions are made until the season is fully over. There’s about 20 teams who don’t know what division they are going to be in next year. (Granted, they are probably going L2 or similar but there’s going to be so much churn other clubs are surely going to wait to see which clubs...

    Is this good timing? Negative vibes around the squad just before big games? Could it not have waited a couple of weeks?
