Definitely a game where its all about mindset.....said many times before fainthearts win f*ck all. I get the concern about the height factor, pitch factor and so on but where top of the league....we are not there by chance...we are there on merit. So play with that belief and take the game to them....high press and go balls for glory. Yep, there will try to put us under pressure, yep all the ****housery will be going on but take that as a compliment. The last game there you could say we we were boys...now we are men.....three points for me..... 0 - 2 Mundle and Wilson on breakaways......HTL!!!!
Bit worried about this one. Apparently they were very strong last time out. I guess I'd like to see a strong performance so maybe best not getting hung up on the result of an away day to a newly relegated team.
Morning all cracking thread again RTB. Thank you. Always difficult place to go and get a result. Agree about Browne in to lend experience to the midfield. Tough tough game ahead but we do have what it takes to beat them. I would be happy with a point but just have a feeling for a very late smash and grab winner for the lads. Keep the faith lads and lasses.
It's a nice reversal of fortunes to have them struggling to put a defence together and us looking strong. Guarantees nothing, but we should be going into this with confidence tonight.
If you're stuck on a train you might want to have a laugh at this ... ... still whining about Sunderland taking half their ground during the title winning game
I can still remember that horrible feeling after the play off defeat there We owe these one. Come on Sunderland
I agree, the ref that night in the second leg was shocking, allowed them to push people over and foul all night, I can remember Patterson being hemmed in and pushed into the goal and nothing happened
Jobe because he has had a good few chances from the edge of the box recently, Mep, because he is class, and Connolly because I want him off the mark ASAP
Have you seen their second goal against Watford - nothing has changed, Adebayo wrestles with two defenders leaving Morris with a free header
This a game that if we win people will start taking us serious as contenders for automatic promotion, the lovefest for Leeds on Sky last night done my head in. It is a big test and I would take a point now but in the words of Keegan I would love it if we beat them. I would put Browne in and probably rest Mundle and give Watson a start, they wont know what to do with him and he could rattle a few cages with his unpredictability. Class thread again RTB, love these.
Seen on Twitter roberts is dropped tonight for a rest. Riggy RW and Browne in the middle. I think having riggs bite on the wing will help with the wing back system of Luton and get brownes ability in the middle
I'd probably leave it as is too. Don't think we should be changing our shape out of possession. Needs to be the one we're best drilled at IMO - at least at the beginning of the game. We've got to have Jobe in the centre of the pitch. His physicality is essential IMO.
Out of the 2 wingers I would say Roberts has been the most effective over the last 2-3 games, be surprised at that call.
Don't love the idea of Browne chasing around up alongside Isidor. Maybe we'll slide him over and allow Rigg to maintain that space further forward. Guess it's something that you'd hope Browne can do.
Maybe it's to help deal with Doughty, he's their biggest threat by far and perhaps Rigg is more trusted to do a defensive job on him.
