Predictions and team

This will be a tough one. Luton score goals but also leak them hence the amount of games that have ended in draws.
For me its the same team as Peterborough and going for 1-1 with O’Hare finally finding the net

[Blind-Faith]

2-1 city, hamer to be booked and big Vik on the score sheet again

2-0 City, Luton are shit

Thank you for your in depth analysis

2-0 City, Luton are shit

With recent draws against Blackburn, Bristol and Swansea I think it may be more difficult than you think

 

[Sick Boy]

Hard fought 2-2 draw.

Thing of beauty.
Interesting almost an inverse of last year's plot line to now.

On the match front here form suggests we should approach this with an abundance of confidence.
Luton are marginally around where we were last season.

Luton were poor in the first half against Bournemouth yesterday but came back into it in the second. Our away form is nothing to write home about (W1 D1 L2) so it's going to be a rough night. Looking at the stats, Luton's home performances rank slightly better than our away ones.

Think the result will come down to converting chances and while we can do it at home (12th man blowing the ball into the net ? ), away from the CBS we create enough but aren't scoring. So I'm going 2-1 Luton win, Vik to net his 8th of the season. Luton aren't a dirty side so I'm not predicting red cards.

What!?

Luton are one of those dour teams we sometimes struggle with, we are different this season though we can win this.

 

[SleepyGinger]

0-0, hard place to go

They should have slaughtered Bournemouth yesterday at Bournemouth got very lucky indeed to win that.

Luton seem to be missing a goalscorer finisher.

 

[no_loyalty]

I can see Robins freshening things up for this game, I think he might not risk Hamer as we need him for the Fulham game, therefore Kelly to start.

Nah no chance. This game is just as important. This game is no 1 priority.

Players will have had an extra days rest compared to Lutons.

I can see Waghorn getting a rest. Godden starting with Vik.

Can also see Sheaf coming in for Allen.

Then Waghorn and Allen back for Fulham.

Nodmally take draw but with Fulham after I think we need 3pts as I think Fulham beat us

Haven’t you predicted us to lose every game this season?

I think we can challenge Fulham and get a point

 

[shmmeee]

Need a win here or away form starts to look pretty grim for a team challenging top six.

Agree with resting Hamer so he’s definitely available for the Fulham game though. Maybe bring Sheaf in but keep Allen for that home game style dynamism. Györkeres partner really depends how the game is going. If we’re playing on the break I’d have Waghorn in, but if we’re dominating then Godden or Walker. That’s assuming Waghorn can’t play three games in a week.

 

[Sick Boy]

If he’s going to rotate the strikers, I’d like to see Walker given a chance with Györkeres.
Can’t see Kelly starting either, despite earlier claims by some that he’d walk back into the side, I think he will be a squad player and mostly used off the bench this season.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I think we will beat fulham or very least draw. We will create 15 chances and score 2.
They will be more clinical. Create 10 and score 1 or 2.

 

[mark82]

Next 3 are very tough games.

 

[procdoc]

Next 3 are very tough games.

So were Middlesbrough, Cardiff and Millwall on paper. We just need to take things one game at a time

Leaving Waghorn out didn’t really work v Millwall him in the team creates time and space for Gyokeres and our midfield add to that I’m not sure who of the other two are the best partner for Gyo. Waggy and Gyo works why change

 

[Mcbean]

Would rather be gives Gus a rest - will need him for Fulham - someone will be required to man mark Mitrovic

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep Luton missed chances even ohare would score

Avoid defeat keeps the momentum going.

2-1 either way for me

 

[Evo1883]

Take a point me

 

[covcity4life]

Why are posters who ripped our summer recruitment and predicted relegation fight saying we must win as we are a top 6 side lol

no shame

Is this sub post aimed at me? I never predicted a relegation fight. I predicted mid table. Things change. I’m still predicting mid table cos I think we’ve had an easy start and been held up my amazing home form. If we’re going to challenge top six these are the games we need a win.

At least I only support one team in this division, shouldn’t you be on the Blackburn forum?

I wouldn’t have mind him being booked in the Peterborough game.

Yes, I've even put in my sig that I'm one of the worst score predictors ever. But if the opposite seems to happen, why change it ?

Apologies in advance if I say that we're going to lose the Play Off Final

What!?

Sorry. Did you want to query my score prediction (see my reply to procdoc) or that I said no red cards. Would you prefer I predict a red card ?

No, you just called every player we’ve signed shite

I'd imagine it's to do with Waghorn not playing 3 games a week.
Though with international week maybe that will be the opportunity to rest him.

Also maybe the Friday game gives him an extra days rest. I have no idea how fitness works though.
