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 this is the case I imagine Boro will kick the shit out of us last game. Will have to rest the first 11

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

 

[CCFCBat]

Is he fit to play 90 minutes? If not, it’s not viable because there isn’t a sub to bring on.

There is you bring on Binks and put Lati at RB

Burroughs?

Luton 11/8….

 

[quinn1971]

Everyone just take a breather, at least wait half hour until the team sheet comes out then lose your shit

 

[Tomh111]

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.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Looks like it will be this then:

Collins
Lati Binks Kitch JDS
Rudoni Grimes Sheaf
Tatsu Simms Wright

 

[Shannerz]

I said the same V Plymouth, if we match their desire our better players win us the game.

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.

Collins

Hopefully they don't have a quick left winger.

 

[mmttww]

Collins starts

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.

Would he not go with bidwell for the height?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I'd go back 4 of Saka Kitching Lati Bidwell. 3 CM of Sheaf Grimes Allen. Front 3 of Wright, Simms, Rudoni.

Saka at RB would get torn to shreds

 

[Ccfcisparks]

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

 

[Tommo1993]

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.

 

[napolimp]

Collins
Lati Binks Kitch JDS
Rudoni Grimes Sheaf
Tatsu Simms Wright

The most left sided defence of all time.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Burroughs?

Or just play 4-2-3-1…

 

[napolimp]

We could play: -

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

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Would he not go with bidwell for the height?

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

 

[shepardo01]

I would like to state the Milan news isnt my usual source


However

It is the same source who told me about Thomas and EMC and were right so....

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)

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We could play: -

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

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

 

[shepardo01]

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!...

 

[quinn1971]

hopefully saka doesn’t spend the whole game giving lati cover, needs to get forward aswell , still got enough to win this

 

[SBT]

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.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

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.

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.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Collins
Lati - Kitching - Binks - Dasilva
Sheaf - Grimes
Sakamoto - Rudoni - Wright
Simms

 

[shepardo01]

@Saddlebrains ?

Refused to play in the same team as Collins!?

 

[Briles]

Saka at RB would get torn to shreds

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

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

There is you bring on Binks and put Lati at RB

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

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Well youd switch to a back 4.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

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?
