    I’m guessing he brought Gyok off so he was fresh for Saturday. Hamer off so he didn’t get second carded and sent off a banned longer. Fadz off to save his legs. Walker on because he needs a run out Rose on for sale reason Sheaf? No idea.

    Good analysis now I think back. Mastsen should have stayed back a bit - Gyok cuts in from the left so channel balls wide left don’t need our WB to dart on to so much.

    If you believe “picked up a knock” is always said in truth then I’ve a bridge to sell you. Bright “picked up a knock”. Sometimes it means “dropped for a bit”.

    Can JCS play LWB (I ask because I don’t know). He made a couple of half decent runs last night- maybe Rose in CB and JCS LWB? Don’t know but agree we are light on the left.

    Typo.JCS sits out for Rose maybe.

    And I know I’ve constantly pointed out that Sheaf loses the ball too often. He does. Having him in front of the back 4 is a liability. Slightly less of a liability if Kelly can cover. Plus, he has a slight bit of height if playing slightly further up he can get a head on the odd longer ball if...

    “How do we get it out of their minds?” Mix it up I guess. We need Kelly in front of the back line to break up play and Dabo in on the right to provide an outlet. Kane will need to be benched even though he wasn’t the worst last night. Putting a right footer in the left isn’t sane so keep...

    I think JCS is quick enough and chases back well enough, just got outmuscled by a unit. We need to look at the 4yd area - where it’s a decision between keeper coming out and Fadz dealing with. Luton hit that area a few times and it caused problems. Moore is a good keeper. Fadz a good...

    No it’s not. It’s pointing out that Robins would play other players if he had the choice. As he has when he can.

    Really? In my world Sheaf was signed on loan with a commitment to buy at the end of the season. In my world Sheaf was dropped to the bench recently. In my world Robins tried to sign Walsh and signed James on loan and dropped Sheaf last year. This coincided with an upturn in results. Point...

    You are not Mark Robins. Mark Robins had so much faith in Sheaf (that he was contracted to buy) that he tried to sign Walsh / James etc. He dropped Sheaf to the bench in favour of Jamie Allen. That’s how, it appears, much faith Robins has in Sheaf. Kelly must have stolen Mark Robins Twix to...

    Yes there is another way: If the opposition press high then they leave gaps in the midfield for a runner to drive direct at the defence. It’s the classic long ball to big man, knock down and nippy skilful striker runs through. See our winner against Forest. We need a pacy striker / AM on the...

    Unless you are Mark Robins, even attempting to say what he thinks is talking utter shite. Are you Mark Robins?

    Nailed on. As I’ve said before they’ll always be those who start with these pointless and deceptive stats and I had a bet with myself with which genius would do so first. (See previous) Sheaf sits deep and his “successful passes” are usually to the keeper or backwards to a defender. Hamer...

    I like certain things about his game. His awareness of opposition players around him is dreadful. Others on here can waffle what they like, but I stand by it: Sheaf is a liability. Now then: Nothing worse than someone pointing out a problem without offering a solution. Sheaf needs to be set...

    Yes. B***h wore her Luton top to bed to wind me up. I was in no mood to rip it off her.

    Reaction to certain results

    The thing that hurt most was the lack of grit when we went 2/3 down. Where were our leaders on the pitch? Fadz needed to lift them. It’s times like this that we missed a Doyle / Matty James style midfield general. Luckily we’ve got the skipper. Kelly. Why the F. leave him on the bench? If...

    No it wasn’t. My Mrs is a mad keen Luton fan. It’s awful - she can’t stop laughing at us.

    Ok. It was McFadzean’s fault. Thing is, it was the third or fourth time that Sheaf had given the ball away in the short time that he was on. Watch the footage back. Ben Sheaf often gives the ball away. He’s a liability. Our form improved last season when we bombed him and got Matty James in. A...

    Dabo in - yes Kelly in for Hamer - yes. I’d mix it up and drop Waghorn and play with a wildcard, someone to play in the hole who Fulham haven’t planned for. Jodi Jones might be such a wildcard, it’s a shame Bright isn’t bright and it’s a shame Shipley isn’t right else it stick him in the middle...
