Back away from frothing about Collins, you are sounding like Eni Aluko.

Of course, the best bet is to score more goals than the opposition.

You're just saying that because he's black

Lets all pray for a draw here and a Boro and Millwall loss. That would secure it wouldn't it?

 

[quinn1971]

Team sheet incoming, think we all know what it is

That’d do it and Blackburn to lose, just to be safe

Have they put Sakamoto there on purpose?

 

[lord_garrincha]

Do well to win or draw with that.

You know full well what I mean.

 

[Nick]

I reckon we will win, lose or draw today. Just depends how many goals we score and how many goals Luton score. That will define the result.

 

[b12345]

Impossible to tell whether it's a 5 or 4. Doubt Lampard has told the bloke doing the social media the tactics

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

5-3-2, RWB

 

[skybluecb]

5 at the back maybe

 

[stupot07]

We were penned in but we had a decent keeper. Today our best bet is to try and outscore them

We try that, don't create anything then leave big holes at the back and then get hit on the break.

 

[Briles]

Weakest bench for a while that

Game of 2 halves

 

[Nick]

Didn't Sakamoto play RWB a lot for his old club or did I imagine it?

 

[bigfatronssba]

Is Milan injured?

I've never known such a bad run of injuries

 

[quinn1971]

433 as usual, still plenty in there to win this or not lose

 

[PVA]

Can't do anything about the injury situation, but picking Collins is absolutely criminal.

 

[Noble]

Could be quite flexible between 5-3-2 and 4-2-3-1, keep them guessing.
Just saw Milan walk past the cameras on Sky so wonder whats happened there

Yeah we bought him as a rwb which is why I found it odd there was a panic about MVE

It sounds like personal issues from what’s been posted on here.

I'd really switch it up reverting to a 5 at the back. Luton are similar to Plymouth in that they play a block with 5 at the back, big physical players that will be a handful. The whole point of switching to a 4-3-3 (or variation) is to accommodate and focus on our good wing play, Sakamoto has been quiet the last few, no EMC, Wright looked better through the middle (when he gets service). So here's my bid.... Wilson in goal (protecting Collins) - back 5 to help deal with the physicality and quick counter breaks with Sakamoto more hybrid when grimes drops deep, MVE push to his more natural RB position. MVE to provide pace from balls in covering Lati. Simms and Wright feeding off each other. It will be a scrappy and very tight game, I'd be prepped for balls into the box and these two to make a nuisance. I'd be quick to replace Simms with Bassette in second half if its not working.

Wilson

Sakamoto MVE Lati Kitching Dasilva

Grimes Sheaf

Rudoni

Simms Wright​

Not far off what I’d have gone for other than the absence of MVE and the GK switch. Let’s hope it works out

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

It's a real boost if you're Luton knowing every shot on target has 50% of going in

 

[Evo1883]

You can tell the people who have been watching that weird Brad Collins video on repeat all week, in slow motion.

Ahhh definitely the video as to why people dont rate collins

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Nervous about this. Over the last 8 games, Luton are 4th in the form table while we are 15th. They’ve got a lot of momentum. We’re barely hanging onto a playoff spot with key injuries and a very suspect defence.

 

[Ian1779]

Is that a 5 then?
Suggests it might be

 

[Phoenix5555]

MVE groin injury. F*ckin great

 

[mmttww]

Lineup.jpg makes it look like Sakamoto at RWB. Not that weird as he was signed to play there. Pretty sure that was role at his last club.

 

[Balli001]

Groin injury according to sky

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

That bench is pointless. Unfortunately the injuries have hit us at the wrong time of the season.

 

[mmttww]

MVE groin injury. F*ckin great

I've hurt my groin that way before tbf.

 

[quinn1971]

Surely they’re keepers a bit of a gamble too ? Head must be all over the place,

 

[Captain Dart]

Sakamoto to drift inside, not going to be much overlapping from Lati, probably best he plays deep.
