    Feels like a big game this. 3 losses in a row has always been a stat to avoid. Not sure what Mowbray can do in terms of selection. We seem to be feeling the pinch in terms of depth. Matete maybe, to put an extra man in the holding area? Evans and him allowing Neil to push on? Cant see many more options, unless Simms is bursting to play.

    I will be relying on you lads to keep me informed. My youngest lad is fighting tomorrow, on a boxing card in some deep dark area of England. Supposedly fighting a local handy lad, lets see eh. I suspect I will need to be on my toes in the crowd more than he will in the ring. Nevertheless he is walking out for the first time to Ready to Go and I will have my ship pin badge on my jacket lapel. Proud on both counts.

    To the lads and to my lad - HAWAY, lets get stuck right in.

    Good interview that he's an eloquent lad. Good to hear that Dan Neil is becoming a leader in the group, he's developing quickly in every area that you'd want him to.

    Luton are the most underrated team in this league but they took an absolute hammering last week. It's a real test for them to see if they can bounce back. We need to keep them quiet for the first half an hour and then grow into the game.

    We're in the midst of our first crisis in terms of performance this season and I think we're in danger today. I'm looking for energy and work rate as much as creativity. I'd be tempted to start by making us more solid. I want Matete in the middle and I think it's time to start considering what Bailey Wright can offer. Not conceding early is critical. I'd take a point if offered right now. I'm seeing this run of games as damage limitation until Stewart is back now.

    I agree with starting Wright, think him and Baath will be cbs n onien at RB. They have 2 big mobile strikers so need to be up for the physical challenge today.

    7 points from next 4 games and ill be delighted with the start weve had.

    Really not confident about today, they are a very handy team. Love the boy Campbell for them, really good player

    Just asking for a friend.

    Suppose somebody has a firestick. When they click onto ifollow and Sunderland, it says not available. Will it work at 2.55pm today say?

    Jack Clarke needs to play on the wing. Im hoping TM has realised it. He’s absolutely hopeless as a lone striker.

    Depends on how high a line Luton play and if he's learned to time his runs better. First half against Burnley I thought he made them panic. Any balls over the top against a high defensive line and he'll punish them.

    I’d have Amad up there. Clarke is our most threatening player and has more of an impact cutting in from the wing.

    We're in the Leicester Arms if anyone fancies a pint.

    I still need a ticket as well.
