Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 26th Apr (197 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

To add a little more context - The one legged arse kicking contest that is the 'race' to claim 6th spot, goes to the final day.

Do any of the one legged contestants own a pair of goal keeping gloves and are free for a couple of hours next Saturday?

Options off the bench were reasonably limited though at least from an attacking perspective - Paterson maybe but they were a big team Luton. Rapha would have been a bit of a gamble.

I reckon there’s probably frustration that they took simms off and then Walsh gets sent off. He’d probably have stayed on if they knew that was coming. Could have gone two up the middle then.

anyways it’s gone. A lot of ifs, buts and maybes

He could have put BTA on after Walsh got sent off rather than wait another 24 mins.

Me. Unfortunately stuck on a fucking train that I think the rail company liberated from some Communist Eastern European back water about 30 years ago.

How are we still in 6th 🫣 thought borough would of nicked it off us by now! Must win vs boro!! Hopefully millwall don't nick it

You know we are finishing 7th, it's fucking nailed on

Forest green away, police on the bus. Good ol' Wray wray

Don't say that - DOD will be along shortly to tell you to 'behave'.
I should know - I've been on the naughty step since Monday post the Plymouth result.

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Well he's not going to crucify any player in public is he ?

He doesn't need a to crucify any players, but an explanation to the question he was asked would have been good.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

With all the luck we’ve had regarding our results… I’m convinced it’s our time!

Draw will be fine
Milwall and Blackburn get nothing

 

[covcity4life]

Yet bizarrely still going on about the hypothetical scenario that we wouldn't have lost last week had the other team been down to 10. Rapidly losing faith in Lampard.

You never had any faith.

 

[covcity4life]

The seasons going down to final game of season for a chance at playoffs. Despite poor results towards end of season lampard has done a phenomenal job this season

Anyone saying different has an agenda. Simple as that.

Good evening to you all! Keep the faith PUSB

Fair point.

 

[Ricketts]

Collins distribution is really good though, a key part of our game. Just saying.

Well I did and my posts when he was appointed support that

 

[Ashdown]

Its still in our hands, thats about all you can say. Norwich looked pretty good at Middlesbrough and could have easily won that game. Boro were nervous.
Lets be honest Millwall are pretty shit, we’re shit, Middlesbrough are bang average. It could go to anyone…but playing Sheff U is going to be a different prospect for the lucky winners.

 

[Macca]

I think it entirely depends on recruitment, if the club go and recruit 3/ 4 players that are top draw, we really have a chance.

I've been a massive critic of our defenders, but Kitching for me has really impressed of late.

If we had someone on that left hand side that was as mobile as Milan/Sakamoto and had the work rate to want to track back and help out, it would make a huge difference.

The goalkeeping situation is honestly destroying us and Simms playing is another massive negative. The guy does absolutely nothing and it's bad enough with Haji's lack of work rate, but at least Haj actually scores goals.

I genuinely believe if the board and scouting really get it right in the summer we can make a serious push.

I'd like to see half a dozen new quality faces. Not many of the current lot that I would be gutted to lose. Dovin, Thomas, Rudoni, Grimes, Kitching,MVE the rest not to fussed either way

Is it?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Fair point.

I’d have played for a point

 

[Garlana86]

The thought crossed my mind during this game, when we were down to 10 men, and we couldn't get out and creating nothing, that this is basically what it would be like watching us in the prem every week

 

[Shannerz]

Collins distribution is really good though, a key part of our game. Just saying.

But that's the thing; when he's playing so badly in all other aspects of his game, you have to have the pragmatism to tweak the style.

Yes, he can ping a decent long pass, but that shouldn't be the attribute you are picking you goalie on.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Does that distribution earn us over 10 points over a season to cover the points his Weetabix and kamikaze decision making costs us?

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

57 years supporting this club, and I’ve seen some shit play for us, but Collins and Binks must be in the bottom five worst players ever to wear are famous shirt, Colin’s has to be the worst
How we still have it on our own hands god only knows, maybe like in 1987 our name is on the that playoff trophy
How much we will have to spend to even stand a chance to stay up is in the region of what forest spent first year they went up
Whatever happens, as long as Collins never plays for us again after this season, I’ll be more than happy to take.

Yep he's done well. We've had some bad injury problems to contend with but we're right up there. If we see it through and get top 6 it's a phenomenal effort really and i can't believe anyone would have thought we'd get that from where we were when he took over.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I think hes drunk again

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Simms is feeding off scraps in terms of chances though - fair enough people can go on about movement and work rate. But at Plymouth Simms had one chance and got it on target and it led to goal. Today he had nothing.

wright is a striker that plays on the wing - so I think naturally tracking back to protect the full back isn’t something that’s in his make up - that said he’s had enough time playing out there to get used to it.

Would help if he had a first touch

Primary role of a keeper is to keep the ball out of the net. Always has been and always will be.

 

[torchomatic]

Anyone else see that guy spitting at our fans at the end? He was standing up on a pillar.

Guy behind was shouting at the copper [pc 949] to do his job, he just ignored it.

They really are scummy fans.

Truly a shithole

They are there for when the defence fails.

That is why the best teams have the best keepers...

You can't be serious, the number one job for a goalkeeper is to keep the ball out of the net

 

[Ccfcisparks]

@shmmeee lampard said he has no complaints about the red because they are the rules .. what are your thoughts mate

No response to this I see
