The SUPER CLARETS vs Luton - Match Thread

[whiffa]

Let's get a thread going, I'll grab the team news. COYC

[whiffa]

[whiffa]

Foster as a #9?

[Goliath]

Think there's an element of trying to keep subs heavily involved I'm that selection. Very surprised to see Foster and Flemming come in

[dougcollins]

Foster up top.

Come on fella.

[dermotdermot]

Oh dear.

[fatboy47]

Looks to be set up with the assumption that Luton will come at us.

Bloody hell, you’re in early!

Don’t we always set up with that assumption?

Or does it just feel that way.

[Tricky Trevor]

Haven’t seen Lutons team but I’d guess SP is expecting an aerial bombardment. After Tuesdays struggles that’s what I’d do.

[Bosscat]

Bloody hell, you’re in early!

Don't have to fight through the thronged masses on the concourse and can enjoy a brew

[ecc]

Come on Lyle!

Redmond on the bench which is positive but no JJS.

This is SP’s problem for me.

They’re third bottom for Christ’s sake, we should be bothered about what we can do to them.

[Tricky Trevor]

Match fact from BBC.
Luton unbeaten in last 8 visits to Turf Moor, W3 D5.
Last defeat in 1995.

[claretspice]

Disappointed that Hannibal isn’t starting.

Pragmatic selection. Although a bit surprisingly, Morris isn't starting, Adebayo is and Luton tend to be direct. We saw our centre halves struggle a bit with the direct ball and physical striker on Tuesday and Laurent will provide a bit of extra height and presence to get in front of the target man. It also adds height at set plays.

With Luton likely to play a back 5 it also allows the full backs to press on and on turn allows the wingers to narrow and get us closer to a 3v3 at the top end.

Reckon that's the theory anyway.

[Bosscat]

Thats it lads n lasses get yer moans in early


Thats about Twittler more than here YET

[dougcollins]

Yer pays yer money.

I’ll still be shouting me head off for em.

[Dark Cloud]

Foster has a lot to prove to me. I'm hoping he can do it, but I'm not holding my breath.

[MG70]

Why no Shelvey again? Is he injured?

[Frenchclaret]

Flemming or Barnes to replace Foster after 60 mins. ???

[Buxtonclaret]

Afternoon, All, from a beautiful sunny, Spring Peak District.
All three points today please.
Foster hattrick, anyone?

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

[Colburn_Claret]

I think Laurent is in for Hannibal to add some height in the box, we know how Luton will attack us.
A 3 man midfield should be plenty against these, I just hope we have enough sense to play with the ball on the deck . Get it in the box low, hard and early. No ******* about today unless the scoreline permits it.

[CoolClaret]

Come on Lyle, lets have a goal son.

UTC!

[Stonehouse]

Why no Shelvey again? Is he injured?

He’s probably tired after the PNE game.

[SouthamptonClaret]

Afternoon all!

Positive feeling today, straight into 'em and a goal in first 5 minutes!

UTC!!

[derryclaret]

Afternoon all, lovely spring day here, has to be three points today no excuses COYC!

[morninbob]

Shite walk on music again...

[Frenchclaret]

Sunderland 1 up

[Frenchclaret]

Derby 1 up on Rovers

[Frenchclaret]

Derby 2up now

[Taffy on the wing]

These have new life about them...we need an early goal.

[CoolClaret]

If Luton are to go down we could do far worse than poaching Alfie Doughty off them.

[Colburn_Claret]

No stream so a question for anyone who is watching.
78% possession, no shots.
Are we trying to walk the ball into the net again.

Not having much of it in the final 3rd

[CoolClaret]

Good on the ref for not shitting his pants like most have done so far this season.

[ecc]

Get off you *******.

[Paul Waine]

Luton down to 10. Kai Naismith 2 yellows. 12 minutes and 19th minute - from BBC

[Taffy on the wing]

Why no Shelvey again? Is he injured?

He's clearly a spent force!

[JimmyRobbo]

Edwards has great feet. I still think he could have shot there but maybe not.

[JimmyRobbo]

Roberts defended perfectly against the counter. Perfect angles.

[JimmyRobbo]

If they're going to drop so deep into their own area, would it not be more likely for us to shoot on sight and get a ricochet?

Scrappy goal is probably more likely than us scoringa beautifully crafted strike.

[Casper2]

The extra brain helps

[ecc]

Get in!

[ElectroClaret]

1-0 og

[JimmyRobbo]

Great goal by the sub.

What did I say about a ricochet? Well played, lads.

[Frenchclaret]

Yessss!
