The Relegation Dogfight 23/24

[Listen 'ere young man]

Newcastle not the team of last year, Howe has run them into the ground, Luton scored 4 past them on their own patch in the previous game, good time to play them.

Man U a disjointed team, Hojlund out, lost to us last time out, good time to play them.

Liverpool lots of injuries, good time to play them.

Brighton just been spanked 4zip in Europe, havent scored in 3 games, good time to play them.

Luton must be demoralised after the capitulation, injuries galore, threadbare squad blah blah, there for the taking.

For feck sake, unless these showponies show some grit and determination and stop whining over refereeing decisions, this will only end one way too.

 

[Captain Sinister]

Everyone expecting Luton to roll over asnd let us win is bonkers.
Ever heard of cornered rat syndrome?
They will want to be doing right by their supporters.
If I predict they will win, will I be tarred and feathered?

All games are difficult and this is no exception,Captain-I just hope Nuno puts a side out which
looks like we are serious about winning (unlike at Brighton).
I’m still predicting a score draw which will keep everyone‘s nerves jangling until April
and May.

 

[Quntib Hollox]

They'll do well to finish 6th.

Even if they do they wouldn’t have come from absolute rock bottom. Just nearly bottom 3.

 

[eh shag]

Let’s be honest and not build Luton up as world beaters, they are a really poor quality side at this level and we should be despatching them comfortably. This year will be the lowest points for survival in a long time. Luton won’t get 30 points

That’s what Megson said before we lost at Swindon,Yeovil and Scunthorpe in League 1.

Might be of interest, relevant to battles at the top and bottom of the table:

Which Premier League teams have the toughest run-ins?

Opta have calculated the difficulty of each club’s fixtures. It’s not good news for Arsenal, Villa and Luton

[Cloughie1975]

cup final score

Which one?

 

[RedRich]

We will need to win games to stay up..

And that sums it for me right there in 9 words

If we don't win games we wont stay up. And we shouldnt

Right now, footballs become way too overcomplicated. Var, delayed offside flags, transfer madness, points deductions. Blue cards??? I could go on...

Can we please get back to 11 v 11, one ball, excitement, 90 minnutes, give it your all and come on you reds!

Amen

Huh? The majority on here are making Luton out to be more like Simeone's Atletico!!

 

[derbyshirered]

Which one?

clue, we won

 

[Cloughie1975]

clue, we won

2-1 or 3-1 is good enough for me.

 

[derbyshirered]

2-1 or 3-1 is good enough for me.

I'll settle for when Jack Burkitt was the captain,Billy Walker manager and we became the first team to win at Wembley with ten men.

 

[derbyshirered]

Let's hope we start this game like we did that one,a quote from a book I had as a child "for the first twenty minutes Luton Town were chasing shadows"

That was the new manager bounce and nothing more. Even then it didn't last.

How do you know that

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

How do you know that

Because we have the benefit of hindsight and that's exactly what happened.

Even with 6 points taken off, I still think we're favourites to stay up.

We need to start winning at home again.

 

[Erik]

What is really frustrating about today is that for the best part of an hour we had dragged Brentford right into the mix.

Sigh.
