Wilson MOM loads of key saves today, vocal, I dont give a shit about his distribution he’s an old school goalkeeper. Also a lot of his aimless punts somehow found their way into a dangerous zone with Tats and BTA (when he came on).
BTA looked quality today, the ST we thought we were getting. Start him Friday.
Been missing Bobby and his dominance.
Bidwell looked so much better today.
We might have the best midfield 3 in the league, the balance, creativity, control they give us is essential.
Thought Haji could have done a bit better today but was by no means bad.
Simms needs to give more, his ball control was a lot better today but that should be basic, he needs to be more aggressive

I agree

He didn't have a brilliant game, but most certainly didn't have a bad one. He was a constant threat to their defence for sure

And as I said earlier, that one where he should have squared it to BTA, he couldn't. BTA was very clearly offside

Can’t believe I’m saying it but 100% start BTA if EMC isn’t fit to start on Friday. The power and pace he had bullied the defenders.

Not to mention the desire he had imo

Still not convinced coming on as sub isn't his forte

Yeah.

We have to wait until he pulls on his Superman pants, round the back of the dugout

Wilson demonstrating the confidence, bravery and organisation we have missed. He was superb today.

He was great, even when he looked like he fell over Bidders it led to our goal lol. Great performance and I'd rather he kicked long decisively than fanny around and potentially bugger it up. Well done Ben, well done Frank.

Hmmm.. Frank and Ben

Maybe they could open a chain of restaurants between them

Maybe go for a 40's style American diner perhaps

wingy · May 3, 2025

And Tat's winning all those header's from his goal kicks.

Blind-Faith · May 3, 2025

We secure 5th place, clean sheet, Luton get relegated! What a day! Going to have to buy a lotto ticket tonight

The game set up nicely for Boro because they had a high line in the 2nd half. Nonetheless, Asante made a big impact and deserves the start v Sunderland.

100% - Haji was class today, the intent to take players on and score was there. That 3 v 1 he passed up on without even getting a shot off will be flagged in the film sessions. A moment of v poor decision making!

I thought Simms started well today but faded after the first half BTA definitely brought the energy needed 2nd half.

Out of the 2 of Simms and Hadji Simms was much better, Wright was bloody dreadful yet again today so thankfully Rudi stepped up to fill both their boots special mention for BTS (aka BTA) too, his cameo was just what we needed.
It was a nervy affair as the game wore on but the boys came through...still buzzing yee haaaa

Simms though was dire. I can’t get my head around how poor he was

Let's have robot waiters not having Collins keep dropping everyone's dinner.

And I know some will say I’m bitter and twisted but fuck off Luton and take your tin pot ground with you

Re: BTA he had a great game, but it was the right conditions for him, Middlesbrough had to go for it leaving massive gaps at the back. I'm not sure he would be anywhere near as effective had the game been tighter. For that reason I wouldn't start him on Friday.

Otis · May 3, 2025

You know what, having MVE and Thomas back was massive. Really made a difference today

Adge · May 3, 2025

Well well well! Big call to drop Collins and the right call in the end. The perfect game-got the goal at the right time just before the break, meaning that they had to come onto us second half. They had their spell and then we picked their pocket on the break and put the game to bed. Lovely.

Wanted them to survive the PL but yeah, fuck them.

StrettoBoy · May 3, 2025

I have just heard one bit of good news.

Our play-off final match against Sheffield United or Bristol City is to be held at our other home ground

shmmeee · May 3, 2025

Come on Bristol. Do us a favour. We can 100% beat you at Wembley.

I am bitter and twisted, I fully echo these sentiments! So much pleasure is taken knowing those pricks will be playing league 1 next year and I hope there fans are feeling miserable right now

Time to put some respect on Wilsons name

I could see Wilson's shout at Kitchin when he come out and cleared a through ball. Reading his lips he shouted "My effing ball" to Kitchen

Was Thomas injured at the end?

He was knackered but he’d been brilliant

Serves their totally unprofessional manager right.

napolimp · May 3, 2025

Liked having Simms start through the middle, and then BTA to cause them problems in last half hour. Bit worried about Thomas hobbling around towards the end, hopefully not a recurrence of whatever injury he was carrying before.

Saw him after the match, he said he's fine.

Couldn't believe the high tempo game MVE had after being out injured.
