Agreed...a decent return for a midfielder.
He looked a great prospect in his early days.
Imho, he's coasted most of his career, knowing full well he's good enough and will be well paid.

One of those players who is very good in the Championship but not quite good enough in the Premiership.

Genuinely can’t believe Luton are where they are. I get they play a style of football which appears to work for them, but how have they not be found out or completely outclassed by some of the better footballing teams in the league.

My memory of them is a team full of 6 foot plus players who spent a lot of time in the gym and not much on the training ground.

As I say fair play for making it work, but in a play off situation (i.e. when we sneak into 6th) I’d fancy us to snub their one dimensional tactics and outplay them.

But we haven't beat them in 2 attempts this season. What makes you think we would this time?

I think this season our style of of play has probably been quite similar to theirs in fairness but they are better at the back. The lad they play at 10, Campbell is a carbon copy of Jamie Allen in the way he plays, he's a busy little fucker. In fact they all are, they basically out work teams.

When did we last beat them?
Edit: it was the 3-0 away win in the league 2 season - I don’t think they’d be overly worried about playing us.

Since we have been back in the Championship our record against Luton hasn't been very good, lost 3 and drawn 3 but I wouldn't call them a bogey team. Prior to the last 3 years we have a reasonable record against them.
They are a good team but we have beaten better teams before in this league.

Is that so, if our finishing was a bit better that would make the difference

Decent article on the run-in. We get a small nod, but this was the stat I was surprised at -

'The Lions have won only once in their past five games; incredibly that goes for every side between fourth and 13th, except one.' (Preston).

‘Carnage’: welcome to Championship playoff race as crunch time arrives

Genuine contenders run right down to 11th place and Preston are a rare form team outside top three as they head to Millwall

Norwich started sharply as well. Pukki had two chances to let a shot go and didn't. A few seasons ago he'd have let fly I think, he used to remind me a bit of Defoe

Does anyone else think that Aarons is massively over rated? Wasn't there talk of 50mil for him a while back?

If Norwich got offered 50m for it and they rejected it they're mental. He seems to be a bog std right back

Way more dangerous, Norwich with a lot of the ball but Boro look sharp and incisive.

I swear boro are tripping the Norwich players off the ball all over the place

Lovely. He looks sharp, I'd have him on loan next season.

Norwich in bits.
