Luton Town Home Tuesday 12/3

I would have Chicksen in anyhow. Just cannot rely on Woods to complete a game, even if fit enough to start

I would definitely take a point from our hardest game of the 10 remaining, thats for sure

 

Luton are the best side I've seen this season, I'm not sure we'll get anything despite how good yesterday was.

However they're on a bit of a sticky run in the last few games so you never know.

 

Ultimately we need to be carrying momentum from yesterday into all of our remaining games, no matter who were facing, with a belief that anyone can genuinely beat anyone this year, and we can beat Luton.

We wouldnt be able to argue with a point from this one though, especially if results around us were kind. That'd could leave a 3 point gap with 27 to play for, potentially. Itd be full steam ahead for the 3 points against Oxford on Saturday. A win on Tuesday night would be outstanding, they're in the long straight to win the league now, bit of a blip yesterday, certainly possible.

 

They are unbeaten in over half a season and we haven't beaten them since 1968 . So it's time for both records to be smashed, let's get in their faces and make it a night to remember for City.

 

If the win is there for the taking on the night then yes, ‘go for it’ but if we find ourselves 2 down I wouldn’t go chasing the game, instead saving energy for Oxford next week which is far far more important

 

I'd take a draw. It wouldn't be a bad result. Even if we lose it wouldn't be a complete disaster but we would certainly have to beat Oxford if that was the case.

 

After the confidence boosting win yesterday it would have been nice to have an easier game to follow to get a run going.
If we can get a point in this match I think it will be a point gained not two lost

 

If City can stall Lutons normal game, and frustrate them .......... Anything can happen.

 

I agree. They passed round us, through us and were clinical at Luton. If they turn up like that it'll be hard.

One thing in our favour is they've just trekked to Plymouth for what looked a tough game and now they've got to travel to us. So hopefully that'll tire them out.

I'd say the usual rules apply this season - we score first and we've got a chance (disregarding the difficulty and their big defensive unit!) - they score first and they could get 3/4 because they'll grow in confidence.

 

Snatch your hand off for a point now. This game won’t be the one that relegates us.

 

Nope, I am not having it. We go all out for a win, if we end up with a draw or lose so be it, we must let our team attack off the leash. Look what happened at Barnsley.

 

Bollocks to this happy with a point. We want all three, we are still adrift and one point doesn't help going into the 6 pointer next week against Oxford. All good runs come to an end, lets make Lutons end on Tuesday night.

 

Must win. Simple as that

 

If we lose I won't lose too much sleep as I've had this game down as zero points for us for a long time, but if we win I won't get a wink of sleep as I'll be too giddy. I would be happy with a 0-0 draw for this one - I think it would do wonders for the confidence of our defence if we can keep out the highest scorers in the league, and that can only be a good thing going forward into the next 9 games.

 

How many times have City lost to teams who haven't won for ages. It's time the tide turned and we became positive record breakers.

 

I have had both these home games as points to pick up, we have three in the bag so far, we should go for another 3. The way I see it is we have had a problem with teams who come to defend. Those at the top will not be looking to park the bus, they need the points to gain promotion so it opens the game up. Let’s be brave and really go for it, let’s see how they cope with an attacking City side. Don’t ask don’t get is my motto. I loved the way Gary had a two part plan yesterday, keep in the game till half time, then start to turn the screw.

 

Unfortunately, I don't see a replication of yesterdays game.

Luton are both mobile and clinical. I can see City being 0 - 2 down by HT. An early second half goal from us will later be seen as just a consolation. City 1 - 2 Luton.

 

Weather models suggest a good chance of snow - just like for the Peterborough game. So I expect us to score 3 and for it to be sunny again!

 

Luton Town are unbeaten in their last 23 league games. They only managed a 0-0 draw against Plymouth yesterday despite having 5 shots and 11 corners.

40 points separate us and them - but can the ‘new manager bounce’ continue at VP on Tuesday night with a little bit of Lady Luck?
