See Luton signed Liam Walsh, a tidy player if he stays fit.

Their fans are saying how well they have played in the last couple of games, a real turnaround compared to how they started.

Good job we have a keeper that the back line trusts and who can command his box!...Not looking forward to this........

Luton are peppering the goal at the moment. Their set pieces are a real weapon, they cause havoc in the penalty area every time.

Eccles and Sheaf will be the only players who were here for the PO final won’t they?
not that much harder, they’ve had sheff utd and Sunderland, we’ve had Leeds and blackburn they’ve had some terrible results same as us, even lost to QPR

Wilson, bidwell who are both injured... and then maybe we are done. Not the point though. I was here and so were the rest of you (most of you).

Stick with the 352 and play Wright and Simms upfront for their height. We can't afford to play out from the back due to Lutons excellent press, though they might tire after a tough game tonight.

You reckon he's gone if we lose? As much as I'm coming down on that side I'm aware most the fan base isn't and I'm not convinced King has the balls to go against it.

Hopefully back to 4-3-3, Torp in for Rudoni, Saka/ Simms/ Wight up top.
Have absolutely no clue as to what the best CD pairing is these days!
1-1 draw

Agree with that except Kitching. Surely that clunky leaky ship has sailed....

A 0-0 draw ,
I think Robins will be given more time by King.
I think Doug is keeping out of the media to take pressure off Mark. Ie nothing to see here other than a team very focused on turning it around

Considering we could be 5 points from safety after 12 games and the spend from the last 2 Summers, I dont see King thinking it's going well.
And as we know, King always says he's a businessman. He sees the club as his business. If that business is failing, then changes will be made. I can't see him being arsed about fan fallout if he thinks we're in danger of needing to sell L1 packages instead
It was two games week's ago wasn't it?

Saw the first half of Luton- Sunderland last night.
So much energy from both teams, so much good movement into space and ability to find the pass, turn and get a shot off quickly. Players that seem to understand their roles.
The gulf between us and both of those teams is huge and I fear for us.

First games of any real pressure on him were to get 4 points from Blackburn and Wednesday. We didn't.
Then it was 3 points from Preston or QPR. We didn't.
Lose on Saturday then that is 4 defeats in 6 home games, and we would actually be cut slightly adrift.
I'm trying to see it how Doug would. If you've invested the best part of 50 million quid into something in the expectation of being a solid top 8 team with play off aspirations, and you end up cut adrift in the bottom 3 after 12 games, you're going to start thinking of changing things surely?

So match tactics, I think let’s go a bit of a blast from the past and go for the League 2 4-2-4.
Gameplay would be, hit the wings quickly on the break, the rest can tuck in and protect against the transition. Not meant to be pretty or have much the ball but feel we could hurt teams on the break as we did with QPR or Blackburn.
Werid change would be luis Binks, but this allows for height to protect against Luton and means if Milan wants to go up, we have three Cbs to protect the ball. Happy to swap Kitching and Binks but think Binks is better with the ball so would allow some service to mason.
Simms and Wright up front but not sold on this and would happily change with any maybe Thomas for his pace.

Depends on Doug’s thoughts on Mark doesn’t it. I remember his mission statement being to get one of the best managers in the EFL to the prem.
If Doug believes in Mark then plausible he waits a big longer, if not than who knows but wouldn’t shock me based on somethings that Doug holds off until Christmas especially if there’s signs of life in the odd result here and there.

I still think a high-pressing 4-4-2 would be worth trying, it’s just a nice shape that allows us to be wide if we need to and compact if we need to. It allows us to keep 2 up too whilst using wingers (not Haji obvs as he can’t track back) and we can easily rotate one the wingers into a midfield 3 with a single substitution if we need to change it up.
I’d personally go:
Dovin
Van Ewijk, Thomas, Binks, Dasilva
Sakamoto, Torp/Eccles, Sheaf, Mason-Clark
Bassette/Asante, Wright

Thing is, and I am sure we have all seen this in the past, teams play really well in one game and lose and you think next time out, they will probably play well and that time they'll win, only to find that they don't play so well and lose again.
Seen it happen so many times.
People are also saying we are a poor side and point to where we are in the table. Well, look where Luton are. Just 2 points ahead of us, so obviously there is something wrong at Luton too.
We are definitely capable of beating them
