Exactly. We've won 2, they've won 3.

We shouldn't fear them, or expect defeat. They are clearly struggling too.

Luton battered scumberland last night , look at the stats , very unlucky not to have won by a large margin. Scumberland got lucky . I fear they will batter us . Hope to fuck I am well and truly put in my box

I'm pretty sure Mark robins won't be losing his job if we play poor and win Saturday .

I'm also pretty sure most fans won't look beyond the 3 points should we win

He’s going to lose his job if we don’t start consistently playing well. You can’t scrape a win every week.

We need to fly out the blocks using MR language we have had an extra day's rest ( so no excuse there) Bassette and Asante up front for me .We lose fear the worst. We are not a different team from last year,even signed better players so what's the fucking problem. EMC can't be that bad play him in his nature natural position. Forget about your big earners as they are not performing.

Flat back 4. I have a feeling we turn in a Blackburn type performance and win this one.

Wright's done something in the last couple of games that nobody else has managed to do, albeit one ruled out by a crackpot of a referee. Take him out of the side, and we have absolutely zero goal threat whatsoever.

Sure, he can be frustrating. Gets knocked off the ball too easily, and he absolutely doesn't do enough defensive work. But we're not going to get away from where we are in the table without scoring goals, and let's face it, he's the only one looked likely in the last couple of games.

...for a kid with 0 goals at this level. Some of our fans seem to think that 'looking busy' and 'shouting at your team mates' are the two key attributes to look for in a striker. Wright fails both tests.

Imo, and I'm not sure there is a right answer here, we have to go as close as we can to the last time we were in any kind of form. Rebuild key partnerships of Simms and Wright up front, MvE and Sakamoto down the right and maybe Bobby/Kitching at CB (although I really don't know what is going on with Kitching).

MvE - Thomas - Kitching - Dasilva
Eccles - Rudoni - Sheaf

5-2-3 in possession, 5-4-1 out of it to give midfield a chance.

Dovin
MVE
Thomas
Lati
Binks
Dasilva
Sheaf
Torp
Saka
Wright

If we concede first remove one of the defenders and go 4-3-3.

The one change I would make to that is to put EM-C in for Simms.

EM-C has to play in his preferred position on the left, which means moving Wright to the central striker position.

I know Wright has been better since he was moved to the left but we bought him as a striker and surely he has to be a better option than Simms at the moment.

I honestly don’t know if Wright’s improved form last year was because he was moved to the left (though I accept that timewise it coincided) or because he had settled in by then.

Eccles will surely be missing for this one won't he?

Have we had any update on him?

Some people are that desperate to get rid of Robins that turning it round and winning won't be good enough for them, we have to morph into Puskas's Real Madrid while doing it, and even if we do they'll move the goalposts again.

You have missed the point of what he said too.

He is saying you can't play poor and win every week. And he's right. Once in a while yes. Mark of champions and all that. But not consistently

Too many people looking to attack that poster as they see him as anti robins I think. Not actually reading his posts

We just need to start picking up points.
We did it when we first came up, scraping out points playing pretty turgid football and the attractive football followed.

As unpalatable as it may seem, I think that's what we need to get back to, and I stand by the post you replied to, there are people who seem desperate for Robins to go, in my opinion.

Literally no one is saying this.

People are saying we need to see signs of an improved team performance. Hardly reaching for the stars is it.

I think we need wins.
And even if we win tomorrow I won't be that happy because there's no guarantee we'll build on it, like we didn't with Blackburn.

I agree but I’ll leave thinking we have more chance of building on it if we have played better rather if we have been poor again but scraped a win.

Given the way Luton play I cant see tomorrow being anything other than a scrap, hopefully we emerge from it with 3 points.

Fighting for every ball, tracking runners, making third man runs, not giving away soft goals would all be an improvement …. It’s not all about passing fluidity. That can come later.

So, I do feel Wright is not physical enough to play the central role and if he is scoring goals where he is - why move him. I've nothing against EMC and do feel a bit sorry for him, I don't mind 3-4-3 or 4-4-2 or whatever being considered in the future but right now I feel like we need to stop experimenting. It all looks far to random and unrehearsed at the moment when things go wrong.

I've missed this. Trying to think back to the game. Remember he was subbed off for Torp but otherwise blanking. What happened to him?

Yeah there is an argument for both pts or performance being more of a priority.

And there may be robins out posters but even if we don't agree they are entitled to opinion ain't they? I mean why can't we ever start strong? Think people are allowed to question it

I'm not robins out although I feel some posters(not you) may see it that was simply cos I'm not jumping for joy right now

I would like to see robins get another window and see if we can bring in missing pieces

But even without that I think he should get us playing better before that regardless. It's not an impossible job

If the goal against Preston had stood Wright would be third top scorer in the league. As it is he is joint 4th. Embarrassing comments here.

1. There's no way this squad should be in a relegation battle like we were when we first came up.

2. We've basically never played attractive football under Robins.
