    In the 'They Played for Both' link

    How can they have Tony Thorpedo on the bench, and have Harry Cornick and Chris Martin starting... Bonkers!!!

    Thorpe was a strange one. I seem to remember he wasn’t very popular with the AG faithful but I always wondered why because he always seemed to put in a fair shift.

    While City have enjoyed a brilliant start to the year, they still sit 13th in the Championship table and are nine points off a play-off spot, while also 16 points above relegation.
    The rest of the campaign looks rather set in stone for Nigel Pearson’s side, though they could still earn their highest finish in the second tier since winning promotion from League One in 2015.
    Lee Johnson guided the Robins to eighth in the Championship during the 2018-19 season.

    Whilst I dont agree with the 538 predictions like mine based on an algorithim , it is pretty close. TOP 3 are likely with Burnley top maybe just topping 100pts. 4th to 7th DEPENDS A LOT ON TONIGHTS GAMES! I have Watford as a possible 7th and a space [3pts ] to 9th City finishing 11th with draw tonight!

    Injuries and 3 poor results have have spoilt BCFC chance of top 6 ..no less than a draw needed tonight..... had a dream last night we had a horrendous start conceeded 3 goals in 9 mins the third a penalty after 20 mins with Max being sent off!

    I used to live 4 miles south of Luton. It’s an absolute $hitehole. Hated going there.

    Actually I might be getting confused with Torpey.
    It’s probably my age…

    Bloody shocking from City as they had many chances to clear the ball but decided to pass it around the penalty box. So we got caught out and are down 0-1 with Luton all over us and if we don't get our act together this could get real ugly very quickly especially when you consider they are chasing promotion. Luton can't be paying their electric bills because the lights are the worst I have seen in the league making it more difficult to see the ball properly.

    Pring is having a nightmare first 10 mins. At fault for the goal, and caught out several times.

    We look totally off the pace and overall shocking and with our injuries I hope this isn't the best we can offer. Leary has thrown the ball out to the opposition too many times to be funny so get back on script Max.

    Not sure if it’s the new kit but we look bloody dreadful,
    I’ve not actually seen anything positive from Cornick so far

    It’s because the players have read the posts on here and on OTIB saying that we aren’t going down and the playoffs are out of reach.
    They are just grazing the season out.

    Again Max gives away the ball from a hospital throw and sooner or later he will make a mistake that leads to a goal. Not tonight please as we may get a thumping.

    I don’t even think Luton look that good, we just struggle to put two passes together.. all rushed & messy.. we could easily be 3 down, just by being sloppy

    OMG, this is dreadful. The worst I think I have seen for a very, very long time.
    Not even Red Robin can put a positive spin on this shower of $hite….

    You’re right, Pring is having a mare, nearly poor back pass nearly leading to a 2nd

    Pring is having a nightmare with a short back pass to Max who needed that to happen. If we can get to half-time at 1-0 we would be very lucky because realistically we could be 3 or 4-0 down with one of the worst displays I have seen for many years. Surely we should make changes at the half but do we have any personnel capable of doing better than this sewage.
