Slightly unnerving that Luton fans aren't big heads that think they have a divine right to win promotion, always feel much more confident against them clubs

I've always said if we got to Wembley we'd win and here we are. We have an incredible recent record, a great manager in Robins and Adi in support of course, plus some real playmakers in the team and a confidence that builds with each game. Remember last season and the late late goals... we haven't needed them on this latest run.

I'm going 4-1 City (66-1) and can't bloody wait! Wish I could stop waking up so early though, I'll be half dead by Saturday!

He is a class act, not just in football terms, but the way he conducts himself in all aspects.

Nathan Jones did a fantastic job for us, particularly when you bear in mind we were almost certs for relegation when he came back. You got the feeling it had run its course before he left for the second time though, RE came in and made a real difference- we were by no means struggling when Jones went, but you could see a real difference.

There is a younger section of our fanbase that has only ever known us on an upward trajectory, but most of us remember the dark days only too well, we’re too long in the tooth to be making bold predictions!

Interesting point about Jones, similar to Potter at Brighton maybe where they'd probably hit the ceiling of what they could achieve

I think this is right, which makes Max Biamou a cult hero right?

Woodrow is out for Luton so they have no strikers to bring on if Morris and Adebayo tire other than Taylor who has never scored and started once I think.

Took my wife and boys to both Wembley games '17 and '18. The Oxford game was one of the best days of my youngest boy's life - he was 5. Loved it, sang, shouted, going crazy. Went to Kindegarten next day and painted it. Got that framed! Gutted to miss out on tickets this time around, but since I would only have got two that would have been a big problem anyway... In some ways it was easier when we were in the lower leagues! Still, to win this would be so epic. I hope you all have the best day!

Pessimism tells me that we will struggle with these, they're a big unit and won't be bullied or kicked about as much as Middlesbrough,they will also defend deep and we may struggle to unleash Vik. Looking at it positively, we haven't lost to them this season, we've been on a great run and have arguably the two best players between both teams playing for us.

I'm sure MR will be aware of that and I think will employ the box and look for Hamer and Allen to get into the gaps betwen the midfield and defence if they defend deep.

Yeah, now you mention it, that’s a good comparison.

I’m not a football expert, I’m a football fan, but you could see the change in the side when RE took over- a calmer approach, which seemed to translate to the players. No panicking, drawing games we may well have lost previously, winning when we’d have very likely drew….NJ was great for us, but he’s a bundle of nervous energy, the players were probably grateful for RE’s more sane presence!

If promotion is achieved I take it another couple of million will be slapped on the asking price for Vik and Gus

Money alone the losers will end up with £2m. A tidy sum. ( usually take the winners share of receipts in this game)

I don't think that's fair myself. Both managers took bigger jobs, and the new ones have harnessed the momentum. Next season is the true test when Luton don't go up, but much like somebody could have come in and taken us to midtable after our terrible start, it doesn't mean the previous manager wouldn't have continued to improve the club.

I’ve seen a lot of Edwards on social media and he is a very likeable and sincere bloke…but I’m glad I’ve seen very little of Robins. Keeping it all in house and calm I hope.

Indeed, far more likeable than his predecessor.

I still need to decide on what shirt to wear. Narrowed it down to two

Toss up between this seasons purple away kit and 1996/96 Le Coq Sportif home shirt.

Nice to have the choice.

My belly is a little more 'rotund' than it once was and the older tops are too snug for my liking so this seasons top will be the one of choice.

If I was you though, go with the home shirt.

Just can't shake it from my head that we are winning this, which i guess will make it even more painful if we don't. I know everyone has underestimated Luton but this isn't your standard play off finalist, a parachute payment or a sugar daddy team with players than can pull you to pieces, this is a very solid well drilled outfit who know their jobs who i fully believe we can beat. We too are extremely well drilled and in Gyok and Hamer have arguably the 2 stand out players on the pitch, i'm hoping they will be the difference makers. I just cannot see us getting a better opportunity than this for many years.
