Match Preview;
Since we played, and lost, to Luton on October 15th, they have played 9, won 3, lost 3, and drawn 3. Those results mean they have dropped from 9th in October, to 12th. In comparison, we have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 5...leading to Beale's departure and the arrival of Critchley as the new boss. Luton Town have also had a change in manager, with Nathan Jones leaving to take over at Southampton, being replaced by Rob Edwards. Edwards was previously in charge of Luton's arch rivals, Watford, but was sacked after only four and a half months, having won 3 out of 10 league games. Heck of a way to become a fans favourite, if he can ruin Watford's season, and then turn Luton's around! Obviously, there has also been a World Cup in that time.

As has been discussed on the Cardiff match thread, it seems a lack of attacking threat and Dykes being out of form has destroyed our form of late. With January just around the corner, here's hoping that some new faces being brought in, or even the prospect of new faces being brought in, will inspire our attacking force to wake up, put in the hard graft and start creating a lot more chances. That said, Chair being gone was a big blow, and hopefully his return will massively help improve our play in the final third.

Team news and manager comments to go up asap, enjoy all those who'll be at HQ, and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

It’s going to be a bit lively around Shepherds Bush I expect. Looking forward to it.

Yep, and the game against Sheffield United.

 

Only because we've been playing such attractive and exciting football
