Hope everybody is enjoying ‘beat Luton day’. I’ve been here 9 hours more and it’s a great day.

None of those goals get conceded by Dovin. To have the worst keeper in the league conceding half the shots on goal he faces, the opposition gameplan writes itself.

The opposition doesn’t plan on taking shots on goal when we’re playing Dovin?

Get a grip and back the team - we are in the best position of any team currently chasing the playoffs.

If we mathematically confirm it today I would be in favour of playing the Under 11s next week for all I care

I put this in another thread, but I'm stuck in Hitchin for the day and would much rather be at the game.

If anybody has a last-minute spare, drop me a message, and I can be there in 20 to collect.

You'd have to bring on Burroughs. It's really poor recruitment as it's been clear for 2 years we have no cover at RB/RWB.

Looks like it will be this then:

Collins
Lati Binks Kitch JDS
Rudoni Grimes Sheaf
Tatsu Simms Wright

It's not just that. We just don't have a team of scrappers; that's not what it's been built to do.

Robins' teams (and this is still a Robins team) have always been able to be bullied. Without Thomas in the backline, that's accentuated, too.

Hopefully they don't have a quick left winger.

Let’s see if that is still the case at 5 pm. If you know the keeper lets in half the shots he faces, you get your team to shoot on sight as opposed to a more indirect route to goal.

We need to start JDS. He is actually very good in build up. With Lati ambling around at RB the left hand side is what will need to win us the game

Will be watching Boro v Norwich at 3 but what happens now happens. Ain’t going through another sodding week wondering if we’ll make it or not.

We could play: -

Eccles - Burroughs - Lati - Binks - Kitching - Bidwell - DaSilva
Grimes - Rudoni
Wright

JDS would be the only full back able to go forward. Lati would get a nose bleed

Lampard said directly on Weds that MVE "had a knock" (and not sure if he realised - but as he did it, he held/touched his hamstring)

Perhaps the plan is to put Collins up front and tell him he’s in goal for Luton

Agree on that last line

Also, if he picks Collins again, people surely have to ask why

Didn't you also say he'd put Burroughs on the bench last week hoping to be able to give MVE a rest at some point - before they all shit the bed and it couldn't happen!...

If the back line is going to be makeshift no matter what, I can see the logic in not making an unforced change in goalkeeper.

Lati is supposed to be a RB and CB. I touched on it in preseason, it’s fine that he can cover both positions until we have MVE and a CB injured…

5-3-2 just isn’t viable and playing Eccles and Burroughs over Sakamoto shouldn’t appeal to anyone.

I think his pace and tenacity would do him well, and his engine to overlap. We are hardly blessed with marauding 6 foot wing backs

Who’s playing CBs? If you’re playing 5-3-2 that’s Lati, Binks and Kitching with no senior CB on the bench.

Exactly, so why bother playing 5-3-2 in the first place when your RWB is not in their natural position and you take off a top goal contributor to facilitate that.

Square pegs in round holes and all that. It isn’t worth the experiment at this stage of the season in a game this important.

Eccles played very well at RWB previously, how are we taking off our top goal contributor? You play a 3 of Sheaf, Rudoni and Grimes in the middle?
