Luton have lost more games than anyone else in the division, they're in real ****! They surely pick enough points up àt home to survive.
They're in trouble, that's for sure. They'll likely squeak to safety on account of their being 3 worse teams, but it's a mighty fall from grace.
 
Hope Forest can get into Europe. Really like their squad, the recruitment over the last 18 months or so has been excellent.
 
For a team that was in the PL last season, their starting line up is shocking
I remember people talking about them building a 'championship super team' when they were in the PL, pretty sure I was one of them as well. That lineup today is relegation fodder.

Their recruitment has been poor in the last 2 windows at least, signings CBs like Holmes and Andersen when you have PL money is poor - they are bottom of the championship CBs. I don't mind Chong but I also think he's massively overrated, he works hard but goes missing too often in games.

How well they did this season was going ti be down to the 2 lads up front, adebayo did really well in the PL but he was actually poor the season they got promoted.

I think because they actually did better in the PL than most expected their players have been held in a higher regard than they should be. Their recruitment in the summer was shocking for a relegated side.

Losing ogbene was a lost for them, he has that pace that can really hurt teams at this level
 
VAR and in-stadium announcement trial to be used in Carabao Cup Semi-Finals

VAR will be in place for this season’s Carabao Cup Semi-Finals, along with the first use of in-stadium VAR announcements in English football.

As part of the trial, referees will announce (over the stadium public address system) the final decision following a visit to the VAR pitchside monitor, or upon the conclusion of factual matters such as accidental handball by a goalscorer or offside judgements. Only the final decision will be announced in the stadium.

In-stadium VAR announcements have already been successfully introduced in several FIFA events, including the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and aim to provide greater clarity and understanding around key decisions to supporters in the stadiums and those watching from home.

The new pilot forms part of PGMOL’s broader commitment to transparency and embracing technological advancements for the benefit of Match Officials and fans. This latest pilot has the support of the EFL and follows earlier collaboration with PGMOL in 2018 to trial VAR in EFL competitions ahead of its introduction in the Premier League.

The trial will run over both legs of the Arsenal v Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Semi-Final ties, with the first legs taking place at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday 7th January and at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday 8th January.

The winner of each tie will progress to the Final which will take place at Wembley on Sunday 16th March.
