    Worried about your goals slowing up, well you've come to the right place.

    With regards promotion Luton and Barnsley are the two teams who have impressed me the most, that may sound daft after both Sunderland and Pompey have both done the double over us this season.
    So I'm take both you and Barnsley for the auto places, apart from Tuesday night I hope you then go onto win your remaining games especially Gillingham, Bristol Rovers, Wimbledon and Oxford :thumbup:.

    Maybe a bad time to play us if we can get some momentum under the new manager.

    And looking to the fact you have drawn against some of the sides down at the bottom away from home.

    I’d be happy with a point for us. Hoping we can get more but know it’s a big ask. Who’s the players for us to look out for? Collins?

    We’ve had our pitch ‘re-done’ but it seems we got some local gypo’s to do at the same time as they tarmaced our ex chairman’s driveway.

    Looks like Wayne Rooneys hair transplant. Don’t look any better than it did last season.

    Your doing a fair bit of whinging lol The weather is as it is, might be a leveller who knows. We just had the drainage done last year should drain away ok. Doubt it will be off, we had Wallsall here with horizontal freezing rain coming down for 90 mins, ice rink outside, nice. Anyway, we will be giving it our best, so who knows.

    Well, the thing with Luton is they really are a team more than any individuals. The back four are absolutely solid, the full backs get forward a lot. McCormack in front of them is excellent - a chance he may not play tomorrow though as 2 games in four days is a push for his old body. If he is not playing then that is a big plus for you. The midfield are again solid, Ruddock and Shinnie the engines, Lee and maybe Lua Lua the creative spark. Collins is really good - dead hard working and lethal finishing. There are four or five equally capable players who could play, Cummings, Hylton, Moncur, Thorne, Berry. All good. Excellent squad. Glad the game sounds like it will definitely be on - nothing worse than a long journey on Tuesday night for a postponement

    To be honest, we have just had the biggest result of many decades this evening - our plans for a new ground finally passed this tonight - 134 years at Kennilworth Road coming to an end - a few years off but a new era starting. https://www.lutontown.co.uk/news/2019/march/newlands-park/

    I think it is 18,000 with potential to increase to 25,000. Part of a massive development in the town centre, almost £600mn worth and being planned and developed by our fans group who own the club. We love Kennilworth Rd but it is so far past its sell before date. It will be a Party in the gale tomorrow - this is a lot more than just a new football ground but a lifeline for a desperately run down town

    Look, you played well in the first fixture. I saw it first hand. However, tonight is another game and whilst youve been doing well for some time your lads have just schlepped up from Plymouth and by all accounts it's going to be cold and windy and we'll have a decent backing following Saturdays win. All it needs is us to start well, score first, things to go wrong for your lads and the pressure to crank up.

    Equally, Luton might score first and run away with it but, you never know. We're certainly a different proposition to two weeks ago and neither Sunderland or Barnsley got easy wins at our place.

    BTW, thought you were a Stoke fan?

    Disagree about Barnsley. We got off light with the 2-0 scoreline. They looked streets ahead of us that day, and remain by far the best team ive seen so far this season

    Yes, but I think we made them look good as well. They are a really good team and we may have lost in any event, but our tactics were wrong we hesitated and went defensive. We must not do that tonight, Luton are not Liverpool or Man City, and we should go out with confidence and play football as much as weather will allow.

    Aye, there were signs in the first game at Shrewsbury that we had problems, the first home game against Barnsley and the alarm bells were well and truly going off. Barnsley never got out of first gear to hand our arses to us on a plate.
