Talk about glass half full. What do you do for work? Motivation coach and personal development?

over 50 years a Cov fan, it’s built in wer‘e at our best when nobody gives us a chance, see there I go again

Luton will certainly come at us, they will be explosive out the gate. Can imagine the manager has got them throbbing with excitement. They will be full of spunk today. Just hope we don’t go all out early and blow our load.

 

[SHUNT31]

Apparently not injured but a personal issue?

 

[Tealeaf]

We will need a strong Referee today , Luton will be to physical for us , We need to bite back & show them they can`t push us around .

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

I need to find my lucky charm sky blue pant and socks otherwise we will lose like last game

 

[Captain Dart]

According to their virtually unreadable forum it was a fire in their laundry room. No risk to the game but they'll have to play in skins tomorrow...

I heard they managed to find a kit in the club shop but most of the shirts are XXXL because that's the size that fits most Luton fans and it was all they had in stock.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If anyone thinks we are getting a result today give me what you’re smoking with your weetabix.

It’s a banker that next week against Boro will be the decider if we get into the play offs or not.

 

[fatso]

Oh they will come at us

That would suit us, it gives Sakamoto some space to run into which doesn't always happen away from home. Which is why his performances are so inconsistent (imho)

Why wouldn’t we, draw at least, derby had loads missing when they beat us, championship mate, anyone can beat anyone,

 

[Great_Expectations]

It’s not out first choice back line but it’s not make shift.

Binks is a CB, Lati has played numerous games at RB and Kitching/JDS are in their usual roles. Players are in familiar positions.

It’s not ideal but this isn’t Sheaf and Bidwell at CB levels.

Eccles at RB will be a good option, just not for today. He’s been out for weeks, not sure I’d be comfortable with him back from nowhere and out of position.

We’re still a superior team.

Perspective and all that.

 

[eyesee]

i'm sure we could squeak through with a draw, but i think we need to win today, and beat boro, if we are to be ready for the playoffs.

got them throbbing with excitement.

Anyone else here old enough to be at this “must win” against Luton ?

@Saddlebrains ?

 

[Seamus1]

If Binks is in then we have to go with 3 CBs and wing backs. The bloke is useless, even moreso in a back 4

In fact, I’d be more tempted to put Bidwell in as LCB and move Kitching to the centre

 

[Gibbo]

Agree on that last line

Also, if he picks Collins again, people surely have to ask why

In the light of the news about MVE, It will also be piss poor management if Frank sticks rigidly to 4-3-3 or a variation of it. Situation cries out for safety in numbers

 

[quinn1971]

Now I’m pretty positive but even I’m struggling with that, surely then something not right with Wilson, I know there’s always backing your players but ?

 

[Chris1987]

This is more concerning than anything else

Absolutely shocking decision.

 

[quinn1971]

got a Cov win all over this Collins and simms masterclass incoming

 

[Diogenes]

Poor choice re Collins but not unexpected.

He is doing 433

I agree, madness

 

[skyblue025]

I said the same V Plymouth, if we match their desire our better players win us the game. If we bottle the desire part we get beat. If they are relegated I'd have Morris off them straight away.
Collins need a to have a good game but sadly I can't remember the last good game he had.

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Yep that was when we had to win our last 3 games to stay up

 

[quinn1971]

I agree, madness

kinda makes sense, if we turn up the midfield and front 3 is more than capable, just our defence, can see a 3-2 again, think my both teams to score bet is nailed on

People used to say JDS was useless tbf

Get behind bins(us not the strikers!)

 

[David O'Day]

If Lati starts at RB it does take something from us going forward but he is likely to be better at dealing with balls being launched at us which is their main threat.

If the midfield 3 and attacking 3 play as they should we can still easily win.

 

[stevefloyd]

It's not data or a whim, it's common sence.

The guy who's played more minutes than anyone else, in the position you have zero cover for, plays 3 games in a week????

And suprise suprise, he looks fucked, has his worst game of the season, AND picks up an injury.

A blind nan could see he needed resting.
If your stats don't tell you that, and your common sence don't tell you that, and your years of playing top flight football don't tell you that, then there's something seriously wrong!

to be fair you have a very valid point, we were losing so why didn't Lampard stick Eccles or someone on the right back slot because it was quite obvious he didn't look as quick as usual, but too late now so its square pegs time

Wilson must be genuinely woeful in training these days for Collins to still be starting. So you have to wonder why he got a new contract.

At this point surely someone is just taking the p**s behind the scenes.
