    I don't care what the maths are telling. I am telling you about football.

    We lose tomorrow then we put extreme pressure on ourselves going into the Oxford game.

    Plus we only have 24 points left to play for.

    Both Shrewsbury and Bristol Rovers are away from home and we're at home tomorrow. We have to believe that 1 or if not both of them will drop points.

    We're running out of games and for me we need to win all our home games including tomorrow to have a fighting chance.

    Okay Mr iknowfootball but we have to face facts wins for us have been rarer than you getting anything right Luton on the other hand are carrying all before them. Yes it would be great to get a good result but a negative one doesn’t mean we are down.

    I agree we have to try and win every match not just the home matches. You sound like it is a choice for the team as to whether we win or not! I have no doubt we will going for a win tomorrow it will be full steam ahead, but things happens in matches which with the best will in the world we have no control over. As fans we need to vocally support our team, both on and off the pitch.

    Agree..

    Starting with stop being scared of other teams.

    Luton are top I can see that but they drew on Saturday and will now start to be feeling the pressure.

    It's the business end of the season now! We've to believe we can beat anyone in our situation.

    If Hylton starts, get at him. I remember years ago when he was at Aldershot he was a nusence but also emotional. Sounds like Saturday just gone the same happened so ruffle some feathers at the beginning, whilst being sensible, and let them know theyre in for a tough game.

    Blustery winds could have a real impact and perhaps bring a leveller to the game. Got to believe in ourselves and not give them any respect.

    People talking like it’s a matter of the players turning up and trying to win and that’ll get us the 3 points. The fact is that we could play our best team, all the players could have good games and we could still lose because Luton are a better team, with better players with something equally big/important to play for (the league title). No matter how well we play this will be an incredibly tough game and a good performance and a draw would be great IMO.

    I think now is the best time to play them given their last couple of results. We have to go for it though, none of the negative flat back 5, players out of position defensive shite which we played at their place, otherwise we'll get smashed. Thankfully Gary is now in charge and I don't see us setting up defensively or negatively under him.

    I know "attack is the best form of defence" is a cliche but it's so apt for us - the more we do going forward, the less our defenders have to do and I think that'll be the case tomorrow.

    Someone will end Luton's unbeaten run,why not us? We have to be realistic,
    Luton are top for a reason but they are beatable if we play well.

    Draws are no good but better than defeats.For me,the problem of achieving
    league one status is most clubs in and around the relegation places are winning
    regularly so when we win we don't move up.Four out of the bottom six won on
    Saturday including the bottom three.I can't recall a season where relegation
    threatened clubs were fighting this hard and winning.If it continues this way
    we may be hoping teams in bottom half implode and become catchable.

    Here's hoping!

    Hatter here. Looking forward to tomorrow despite the pretty dire weather forecast, 2 inches of rain followed by a gale. Any chance of it being off? Does your pitch drain okay? As for the game, tough in that we were at Plymouth on Saturday, not back until midnight and up the Bradford today. Sounds like the conditions might make it a vague lottery. Having said that our team are definitely not southern softies, they can mix it with the best and work extremely hard every game. We don't let many in. We both need the points - big night for us, if we won and Barnsley beat Sunderland we would have more than one foot in the championship. Lose and Sunderland win and it is all to play for. So important both ways. There have probably only been a couple of games this season where we have not been fully on it, so don't expect it to anything other than a battle to the last minute. Normally I would expect Luton to lose a game like this, this season I don't

    Credit due to you guys,coming up and looking like you're not "stopping" on your way
    through but as you know we need wins now and that's what we will be after so gloves
    are off and remember,your unbeaten run WILL end sometime and tomorrow could be
    the day!

    I expect every game to be the last, can't quite believe it - it doesn't happen to a team like Luton to go 23 matches unbeaten - best ever previously was 19. Up until now we have been remarkably consistent - should have one Saturday, one way traffic but the goals have slowed up a tad
