Luton will come out guns blazing early and we have to ready for that. Weather that storm and we can turn them over.Think we’ll struggle with this one. Luton will press and be aggressive, and I’m not sure we handle that very well. Hope I’m wrong, but think it will go to the last game where we’ll more than likely need to win. Unless of course, Norwich pull their fingers out and do something at ‘boro. They’ve sacked their manager, so perhaps they’ll pick up.

Don't think there's more than one or two games this season where we've set up with 3 x CBs and got a result without being lucky and played a bit sh*t.
Just want us to be assertive, control the game and be brave with our decision making when we've got the ball in and around their box. Should have enough.

We didn’t do it the last time we met, luckily we had the goods to turn them over at home.
Play-off final was the same first half was theirs but they often fade in a game.
Sit tight, don’t get caught out and wait for our chances as they'll give us some.
We won't go up but we have to improve the defence and away record next season.We've conceded more goals than Hull and Derby over a season. However we set up, we don't defend well unless we control games like we did vs. Sunderland, Hull and WBA. I just don't see an extra CB as a silver bullet.
You can't state that as fact.We won't go up but we have to improve the defence and away record next season.

I can't even watch tomorrows game. Flew back, put the TV on and heard loud cracking sound. TV is " dead" waiting for a new one to arrive doubt if it will arrive this weekend.You can't state that as fact.
The clubs below us are in abysmal form. That's how we went above them and stayed above them. Hamer is Fooked. Enjoyed life too much to last a whole season. Sheffield United can't cope without him. They have lost 4 out of their last 5 games.
Let's ignore the next games. Because whatever happens a win against Middlesbrough puts us above them. Even a fairytale would struggle to put another side above us without playing the Luton game.
Too many people are worrying about our next game. But no matter what happens at best we've either secured our playoff place but at worse have to beat Middlesbrough at home and Millwall not win at Burnley who are after a record of 33 games unbeaten whilst trying to get the better of Leeds.
Some people need to relax. This game against Luton is the least important game we have left of the season. If you're off the meter now there's a good chance you won't survive until it's all over.
Interesting point. Think the same, wouldn’t be surprised to see a coaching addition in summer, whether that’s cole for example?I think Lampard needs a defensive coach. I don’t think setting up defences is his strong point.
Cole is busy playing for ChelseaInteresting point. Think the same, wouldn’t be surprised to see a coaching addition in summer, whether that’s cole for example?
Interesting point because I think a lot of it comes from how highly you rate Dovin.I think Lampard needs a defensive coach. I don’t think setting up defences is his strong point.

When we were playing in a 5-3-2, we often compressed the defence and didn’t concede much in this period. Now we’ve gone back to a 4-3-3 we are conceding a lot more but that could be because of the keeper situation.
Does anyone know what our expected goals against is like under lampard?

I think tomorrow's game is very, very important, myself. The outcome could change everything.You can't state that as fact.

Quick fag packet maths...Does anyone know what our expected goals against is like under lampard?
I mean this is a fact.
Laptop?I can't even watch tomorrows game. Flew back, put the TV on and heard loud cracking sound. TV is " dead" waiting for a new one to arrive doubt if it will arrive this weekend.
I mean, MVE was at fault for 2 Plymouth goals in reality.So the goals we're conceding arent Collins fault but the defenders?

He made mistakes for two of them, doesnt mean he Collins shouldn't have done better.
When was the last MVE mistake for a goal before that?
Because you don't have to go back very far to find a Collins one.
Little of both. We are conceding chances we shouldn’t and we are letting in chances we shouldn’t.
And there's no way Wilson wins golden gloves without a decent defence in front of him but equally he (or any keeper who wins it) has to play a major part.
Same as Vik that year, doesn't score that many goals in a shit team but he still earned a big move on merit.
Probably a blessing in disguiseI can't even watch tomorrows game. Flew back, put the TV on and heard loud cracking sound. TV is " dead" waiting for a new one to arrive doubt if it will arrive this weekend.
Clean sheets are a team stat IMO like wins and losses. The golden glove is IMO a stupid award.
I don’t think setting up defences is his strong point.
Maybe, hard to say when so many goals we concede are down to total brain farts by individuals.
That your opinion. I'd say any argument against it could probably be applied to top scorer awards.
But to say a keeper who wins golden gloves didn't play a part in winning it is madness.
Collins could have Moore Beckenbauer Maldini and Zanetti in defence with Makelele sat in front of them and he still wouldn't win it.
Top scorers actually score the goals. You can’t get top scorer without ever touching the ball. The same isn’t true about golden glove. Any award you could win without ever touching the ball is a stupid award.
Little of both. We are conceding chances we shouldn’t and we are letting in chances we shouldn’t.
That's a ridiculous scenario though.
You could be top scorer by not actually intentionally scoring a goal and deflecting 30 goals in but it’s not going to happen.
Better tell James Trafford his golden glove has been withheldThat's a ridiculous scenario though.
