More or less the same team and I prefer the back three with Higgins in place of Anderson, but either of your line-ups look fine. Tony mentioned this week about having a fluid line up , and the pattern of play dictating the shape, he is dead right of course. On another tack, no one as far as I can see has mentioned extra time. and I would rather do without that tbh. So I would go into the game hoping to out score them over the 90 minutes, and that is just what I think we will do. OaU
What a fkn clownshoe ....

Sunderland took Millwall’s play-off spot – I hope they rot

"Football can be a very beautiful game, even if this is not always apparent while you are watching it.
So it was for me last Monday afternoon as I gawped with a growing sense of horrible familiarity at Millwall’s spectacular second-half disintegration against Blackburn Rovers, a result which ensured we would be spared the misery of being defeated, later, in the play-offs.
As the players trooped off at half-time with Millwall 3-1 to the good, the Sky commentator assured his audience that we were dead certs for the play-offs. I wanted to throttle him. The lead seemed to me a house built on sand. I had not liked the way Rovers skipped through our defence, threatening every time they attacked.
But then the euphoria at the rather grandiosely named Stadium of Light was a bit much to take, too. Sunderland fans couldn’t believe their good fortune and were going jubilantly doolally.
A sporting and measured man would take the defeat on the chin and wish the Mackems the best of luck for the play-offs. But sadly I am not that man and I hope they rot. Or better still, Middlesbrough defeat them with a patently offside goal in the final. They are the form team, mind."
"I daresay they will consider it payback for that FA Cup semi-final in 2004 when a Tim Cahill goal sent Millwall through to a final against Manchester United, which of course we lost."
How ignorant to say that about a stadium named after, and built on, a mine where people toiled underground and sometimes lost their lives
Incidentally the bloke decided to swap teams and support Millwall when he moved to London ...
... anyone who does that doesn't understand the true meaning of pride in your team, that's not my opinion, it's a fact.
They are absolutely loving it, and rightly so.
I know I may be reported for saying this but ...
... I couldn't tell them apart
BTW I believe that if we score we'll win the game.
Luton rarely score three goals and, if it goes to penalties, I'd back us to win ...
... Amad, Pritchard, Roberts, Neil and Clarke in that order. (If fit.)
Lad next to me said they looked like pints of Guiness
I think he is a naturally fit lad so could maybe do 20 mins if required, especially as I don't think we will be wanting him to bomb up and down the pitch
Was still in a boot on Saturday I’d imagine outside chance of the final at best
Noticed he had compression things on his calves so hoping thatll help when traveling down - roberts looked fine tho so fingers crossed
