I called for him to be rested last week, it's no suprise that he's picked up an injury, it was inevitable, you can't expect a high energy player to be at his peak for 3 games in a week and not suffer a reaction.
Piss poor management by Frank on that score.

Agree on that last line

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

We seem to get way more injuries under Lampard. It’s been ridiculous recently.

I'd imagine that decision was based on medical data and not just a whim, (I'd imagine it was the same with the decision to rest Sheaf).

And we don't know for sure if it's true or if it was an impact injury.

We just don’t have a right back to cover him especially with Thomas out. Less on Frank for me than on the recruitment

 

[alexccfc99]

We said the same when wright Sheaf and EMC were out, lampards done well getting more out of our average players, backs to the wall sometimes throws up a few surprises. battling 1-0 keep the faith We’re nearly there

We might well get over the line, but with the calibre of goalkeeper and defenders we are going to have at our disposal if Milan is indeed injured and out for a while I cannot seeing us getting over two legged tie and a game at Wembley, the available players without a drastic improvement are simply not good enough

Can't help but get the feeling with the amount of cheap injuries we have picked up this season it is not meant to be - Thomas, Torp, Wright etc. - Not even to mention Dovin, I mean when does a goalkeeper ever do his ACL ffs

 

[quinn1971]

cheer up lads, we’ve been battling injuries all season and we’re still right in there, whoever comes in is probably at the same level as most the Luton team, its all about who wants it more, after the Plymouth performance it should be us

It does appear to be a more intense system with the higher press and line. Doesn’t help the size of the squad with options tbf

You had posters on here in shock lampard had rested jds and sheaf though. He can't win

Mve played imo because he's best and only proper RB we have and had we beat Plymouth I believe we would have clinched playoffs as Boro lost. That's why lampard would have played him

He stayed fit all season long somehow. Damn shame if he doesn't play again this campaign

 

[SBT]

let's just give up our playoff spot even if we make it. Let someone else have a go

“Team full of pussies”

One game at a time mate, derbys team was battered when they beat us, we can do the same

 

[stevefloyd]

Keep the faith, Luton will have their problems too.


Squeaky bum time of the season.

We'd of snapped your hand off to be in this position when Frank joined the club.
ITS IN OUR HANDS!

Wish someone would have snapped Collins hand off but I guess it wouldn't make any difference he's not using it anyway

 

[covcity4life]

“Team full of pussies”

I hate when people say that considering we are 6th

And don't mind me. Just sulking in bed this morning. Time to get up!

Well it backfired spectacularly.
If we do make the playoffs, we could be missing a key player, and as you pointed out, we have no cover there.
Not good.

 

[Jamesimus]

I would like to state the Milan news isnt my usual source


However

It is the same source who told me about Thomas and EMC and were right so....

No offence, but I hope your new source is wrong

Play strongest team but also rest everyone, proof managers can't win.
Turns out everyone is injured anyway so it doesn't matter.

 

[Liquid Gold]

This bed wetting will be done after the final whistle and we can look forward to the playoffs

 

[shmmeee]

Love a makeshift team TBF. Usually a meltdown on here then a performance on the pitch.

I'm chill about today, I already think we're going to lose. I'll just be pissed if we have a pile of injuries for Boro, we need as many fit as possible.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Obviously the final whistle of the Boro game. Whenever that may be

 

[fatso]

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!

Im chill about Boro. I just want to win this for fifth. Because im also chill about Sunderland.

Exactly. just Filling in my Acca, both teams to score Cov to win

He orobably thinks he’s a pussy. Lampard played 2000 minutes more in 06/07

 

[StrettoBoy]

Good news about the fire at Kenilworth Road:


With their washing machine out of action there is no way Luton will keep a clean sheet!

 

[pusbccfc]

Luis Stinks

In a 5 though? We don't have another centre half.

You don’t rest players for games that could determine whether you make the playoffs. The time for managing MVE’s minutes was weeks if not months ago.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Is he out for today or long term

If so let's just give up our playoff spot even if we make it. Let someone else have a go

Oh dear

I’d go a back 5 with either Sakamoto or Eccles as RWB

Don't agree with that, and I'll use last week's performance as evidence.

Something needs to change, we can't keep conceding goals every time there's a shot on goal.
But we also need to keep possession better and play in their half not ours.
We need to perform how we did against Sunderland and West Brom.
We can do it against decent teams, but struggle when we play shit ones.
On a plus note, Luton need a win, so will have to come at us rather than sit tight.

 

[Ashdown]

If this is true we have to go 5 at the back.
I'm assuming Lati will play RB/RWB.

God help us

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

 

[covcity4life]

Could help us today having to set up defensively

Point be enough if Millwall and Boro both lose
