    Not saying for one minute I wouldn’t go at them but they are a good side. Unbeaten in half a season of football. They are not mugs

    Realistically would take a point now if offered. Not saying we play for the point though. That’s two different arguments

    Yep .......... ALWAYS go for the best you can get - However, as we all know by now ...... expectations often fail to materialise, one way or t'other. ;)

    Agree. Can’t really dress it up any other way. Bowyer should be highlighting our plight and removing this ‘unbeatable’ tag they have. We are capable of winning, the team needs set up correctly, play to its stengths and believe they can do it. Hopefully we can do it despite how decent they are. Their fans were overly cocky at Kenilworth in November, need some payback.

    I have just had a few beers and a dram tbf :brig:

    Ok they are a very good team. However it’s coming to the business end of the season. Pressure is a weird thing and brings up strange results. Don’t do an accumulator near the end of the season. They have 3 good teams chasing them. Just looked at their run. They have a realitively ‘easy’ run in.

    Obviously they are a very good side, you don’t go half a season unbeaten on luck alone. If we end up with a point I will be content, if we lose it will not be end, but we have to think we can turn these over, and have the right mentality going into the match. If we go into this match thinking we will settle for a point we will lose. We as fans also have to be up for it as well, that is what happened on Saturday, it gets through to the players, we do not take one step back, this is our pad and we are not rolling over for Luton Town, because they want promotion.

    We won't score three now you've explained the joke!


    Okay no sun so we won't get 3. It's a waxing crescent moon so it must be 6 then. We always get 6 when it's snowing and you can see a waxing crescent moon!

    I am filled with hope and determination for Tuesday night. The southern softies won’t know what has hit them when the good old Yorkshire weather gives them a blast, not to mention our new energised team;)

    Currently forecast suggests it will be played in a gale, so football will be in short supply! Great leveller so anything is possible. Let's hope for luck and more commitment.

    In my eyes this is a game where we have nothing to lose no one expects us to beat Luton who are a very decent team. For my money we get at them and go for it. Get Butterfield in that advanced position and let him lose but we're really going to need to put a shift in. Hopefully we show that same team effort that we did on Saturday. If we lose we lose as long as we don't roll over for our tummy's to be tickled I can live with it!

    If we lose then we might as well start planning for Div 2.

    Rubbish anything we get from this game is a bonus. 12 points from our remaining games and we have a chance

    Agree that tomorrow is a 'bonus' match. Whilst 12 points may be enough, the way I'm looking at it is 5 wins. The best chances for those 5 wins are from these 8 matches:
    • Oxford United (away)
    • Blackpool (home)
    • Doncaster Rovers (home)
    • Bristol Rovers (away)
    • Coventry City (away)
    • Gillingham (home)
    • Scunthorpe United (away)
    • Wimbledon (home)
    That's 8 matches to get the 5 wins. I'm looking at Luton Town (home) and Charlton Athletic (away) as 'bonus' matches. Win 1 of those and the above list becomes 4 from 8.

    Of course everyone would like a win but you have to be realistic they unbeaten in six months and without holding them up as super humans they are the best team in the league. We need to give everything and hope to get a result but a loss wouldn’t finish us

    This is not a bonus game or a free shot it’s a chance to get 3 desperately needed points, whatever we can get tomorrow means we have less to get after so its huge in my opinion.

    Losing tomorrow and getting beaten by Oxford Satdi is unthinkable

    Least you get the game mate.

    @Park bantam@Park bantam doesnt. If we lose tomorrow we just put more pressure on Saturday's game. Games are running out and beating Luton will be a massive statement win in our relegation battle and will send positive mindset into the squad.

    Draws no good at this stage of the season. We need to win tomorrow!

    27 points to play for after tommorow so it would be great if we could get any sort of a result there will be better chances to follow. The worry with the Luton game is if we get a slapping it could kill confidence so a good performance would be good
