That team selection is either desperation or a "please sack me now I've had enough " message from MR to Doug.

Having seen that, I just know we are going to win. This feels like the Leeds away game all over again last season.

I hope you are right!

 

[stevefloyd]

Looks a 433 and rudoni deservedly comes out

I do think Latibeaudiere is a bad choice in midfield though.. I'd play torp infront of Sheaf and Eccles

I would definitely play Sheaf and Eccles before Torp

 

[stevefloyd]

Also, no Rudoni or Torp, guess who is going to be on corners……

Ohhh fucking FFS

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

I really hope that's just an incredibly defensive 433, and the fact I'm saying that's the least shit option says it all. I have no idea what Robins is even trying anymore.

Lets wait and see.Potentially our best front 3 on the pitch.Milan,Saka partnership restored. Eccles to push wright.
4 strongest defenders on,who need to step up and be counted.
All we need now is Sheaf to do the business.

 

[covcity4life]

Saka as a number 10? Kithcing as lwb?

 

[procdoc]

This feels like a Hail Mary from Robins doesn’t it

 

[andrew.roberts]

Maybe he's put Lati on the right side of midfield to try and nullify Doughty, arguably their most creative player

 

[fernandopartridge]

We got absolutely bullied in the first half v Luton at Wembley, it feels like we're anticipating that but it also feels a bit like be we're going to need better footballers to play our way forward than Lat.

That said, could it be MVE further forward with Lati at right back, Saka in the 10?

Sky reporting it as wing backs also

Yes because Sakamoto is really going to be playing CM isn’t he

 

[stevefloyd]

float ball in comming

Maybe it would have been better to play Dasilva at least he wouldn't have to jump to head the ball with Freccles taking them, thats all assuming we get that far up the pitch to actually get a corner

 

[Ashdown]

MR Clutching at straws I reckon, hoping to scrape a draw.
Simms will be lumbering around trying to hide amongst their defenders, Saka will be booted early doors and crocked and Wright won’t see the point of tracking back at all with 7 defenders behind him.
Lets hope Dovin isn’t going to be bullied into punching everything by their tall muscular players……..

Fk me do half of you even support this team?

Imagine if it's that

Yeah unfortunately

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

I hope you are right!

Seems like a bizarre team selection. Whose playing as left back ?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

7 defence minded players

At home

Hilarious 11 that, it's like he wants to get sacked

We're playing Luton doesn't want to concede a goal.

But they are claiming binks so you are half using it to back you up and not!

Let's just wait and see ey.

So we should be backing something that looks ridiculous then rather than voicing our concerns ?

 

[rob9872]

How about we get behind the 11 out there and wait to see how it pans out before wetting the bed just so you can win Internet told you so points. Embarrassing.

 

[standupforcity]

Why aren't Torp and Bassette starting!!!!!!!

 

[Otis]

Am I the only one who doesn't mind that line-up?

We can't allow ourselves to get bullied.

Let's wait and see. It might work. We won't know until the game kicks off

Robins isn't an idiot. I trust him.

Most people are expecting us to lose anyway, so whatever side Robins fielded today would have been criticised I'm sure.

I'm looking forward to the game and hopefully we can have a counter to Luton's physicality

 

[rob9872]

Why aren't Torp and Bassette starting!!!!!!!

Because they've not been selected

 

[Otis]

Yup.

Let them at least kick off and see how it starts to pan out, before dismissing it all as batshit

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Torp clearly has zero future under Robins

Until Mark Robins is no longer here okay.

Tbf your trying to win internet PTS too right now

Beginner’s guide to match threads

Robins keeps the same team = Robins is clueless, we have been terrible and need changes

Robins changes the team = Robins is clueless, he doesn’t know his best XI

Robins sticks to the same formation & tactics = Robins is too stubborn, why does he refuse to change things when it’s not working

Robins changes the formation & tactics = Robins is clueless, why does he keep changing things

 

[Otis]

Key word there is "looks."

Let's just wait and see how it works and exactly who is playing where

 

[Sbarcher]

Luton squad 1/2 the number as ours!

 

[Saddlebrains]

Yes because Sakamoto is really going to be playing CM isn’t he

In the 10 yea

We'll see

It is possible to say wtf is that and still support the team. I'd be surprised if there is anyone not thinking wtf is that!
Hoping it's a 433 with a couple of square pegs rather than the completely dismal second option.

 

[skybluecb]

Rudoni needed to be dropped. Let's see how Simms and Wright play together they haven't had much chance this season. I fancy us to win today

 

[Chris1987]

The sideways and backwards passing of the defence and midfield is going to be a sight to behold.

 

[MalcSB]

Simms will be lumbering around trying to hide amongst their defenders, Saka will be booted early doors and crocked and Wright won’t see the point of tracking back at all with 7 defenders behind him.

A point would be another building block.

I'm really not. The day I post something for the benefit of someone else's like is my last post. My only obsession is my football club.
