    Watching the Boro game in Hackney…

    Haven't lived in London for 7 years so this list may be out of date. But pubs I used to watch football in: Duke of Wellington (by Haggerston station) Heart of Hackney Pub on the Park Molly Bloom's The Crooked Billet Would definitely ring ahead and ask them to put it on a screen for you - as...

    Who would you sell?

    Wright would be my choice if we could get 15m but just don't see it - MvE will be the one with the interest if Sheaf doesn't go and he deserves a shot at the Prem tbf Regarding Sheaf - I'm struggling to see the market for him. Southampton & Luton could be still interested - but I doubt he'd go...

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 26th Apr

    Wasn't too disappointed on Saturday night as the draw didn't change that we'd need to win to secure playoffs Now Bristol have been hammered that point looks like it could cost us 5th (and I fancy us against Sunderland) - so now I'm frustrated

    Outcomes required for Playoffs

    So here is how I have it for the final day: COV WIN 5th Bristol DRAW/LOSE Millwall DO NOT WIN by 5 more goals than us 6th Bristol WIN Millwall DO NOT WIN by 5 more goals than us OR Bristol DRAW/LOSE Millwall WIN by 5 more goals than us 7th Bristol WIN Millwall...

    Lampard

    10 points in 9 games has been a bit of a disaster and it does fall at Lampard's door that we haven't managed more (even with the injuries we should have done better) He still got us into the play offs positions though from looking over our shoulder without having a full pre-season - so he has a...

    It was during an injury crisis that Lampard last came up with one of the best runs in our recent history - so fingers crossed he can pull it out the bag again 🤞

    Fuck me we were always playing with fire with Milan’s minutes Would be very happy to avoid defeat today

    Play offs haven't been won by a team in 5th/6th since 2018/19 (a certain Derby manager lost in the final) Only one team from 5th/6th has made it to the final since that year also (a certain team in sky blue) Not to piss on anyone's chips, hopefully we're due one, but that doesn't check out

    Team for Bristol at home (1-0 W): Lati - Binks - Kitch MvE - Rudoni - Allen - Torp - Da Silva Simms - BTA Team for Blackburn away (2-0 W): Lati - Binks - Kitch MvE - Rudoni - Allen - Torp - Bidwell Simms - BTA -- 9/10 of those players are available. We could put a better version out now as...

    Ellis simms

    We're 4th as Norwich have scored 67 but you made me look at the table and realise how bad our defence has been. Most conceded in the top 6 by a decent wedge Needs sorting big time in the summer

    Mowbray sacked

    I don't think they have a top 6 squad at all. They were in the top 6 solely due to Corberan being the best manager in the league until poached There was always going to be a regression and they'll need to rebuild in the summer Mowbray probably would do alright next year with a full pre-season...

    Ellis simms

    Think we should be OK to move a few on as they won't be happy with their game time (Lati, Bidwell, BTA) We don't seem to have a group of players who are happy to sit on their contract on the bench as most are either at or approaching their prime For Simms it would take out of the blue interest...

    Ellis simms

    I don't know if tactically it is that similar despite being the same formation. We had less possession last season & allowed teams to come onto us more allowing Wright/Simms space on the counter. Some games were almost like basketball matches Now we have a higher-line and compress the pitch a...

    Ellis simms

    Weird player to dig out after yesterday - was not in the top 5 worst players Simms scored a few when we played to his strengths in the 5-3-2 - balls down the channels, lots of crosses, quicker build up, second striker to help him press He's not a striker for the system Lampard ideally wants to...

    Gonna sound like a broken record by the end of the week but we need to move to a back 3 here. Mentioned it on another thread but Sheff U were getting dominated by Luton with a back 4, switched to a back 3 at half-time and won the game: Match report

    2 games to go

    This is a weak year as Luton fucked it. How often do a parachute payment team finish in the bottom-half? Also no promoted team will finish in the top half this season. Would be surprised if that happened again next year with Blues & Wrexham coming up

    All 4 of those played against Derby didn't they? Basically he same thing happened It is tactical rather than personnel

    He adapted to start the winning run earlier in the season - he isn’t utterly wedded to 4-3-3 (although it took zero wingers) Surely he can see the ineffectiveness of the formation away from home

    5 at the back?

    Earlier this season when Luton played Sheff U at home - Sheff U started with a back 4 and Luton were absolutely hammering them but couldn’t score At HT Wilder changed it and matched their formation (3-5-2) and they dominated the second half and won the game Frank needs to adapt similarly

    If Frank can adapt I still give us a fighting chance of going up If we try to do the current system better I don’t see us going further than the semi-final - we simply haven’t got the players yet
