Luton one up at Derby in vital relegation battle game.

This is a throwback game on a throwback pitch. Enjoyable nonetheless so far. Derby can’t afford to lose this.

A Luton win may spur Cardiff on more today!

Hello Malta!

Pretty certain Cardiff will give them a hard game. We have to hope they don't concede early.

Wouldn't be happy as a Derby player, in black shorts and socks that Linnington is in the same.
He's actually been very good today.

Pretty chaotic stuff.

Seen far more quality on a Sunday league pitch. Both sides look dreadful.

It’ll have been the same for every home game this season. Refs only have black shorts and socks.

It’s been the same for us in our all black away kit this season.

Derby finding it’s hard to chase a game and create quality chances on a beach.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 2:07 pm

Bit like watching Sunday league this. V. poor.
Pitch not helping though.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 2:12 pm

Luton have 3 horrid fixtures left. All against play off chasers who need to win.

Let’s be frank, they are gone.

But for today it keeps Cardiff and Oxford honest, needing a result.

I thought Cardiff gave us a decent game when we played them away. We couldn't have complained at a draw at their place. Sheff United should win at home, but you never know. COME ON YOU BLUEBIRDS

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:27 pm

COME ON CARDIFF.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:37 pm

Felt bad for Plymouth today. A questionable pen and red card in extra time wipes a vital point off the board.

They deserve a reward for their heroics last weekend.

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:37 pm

Obviously it'll affect things if we go the distance, but Sheff Utd's game has no bearing on what we need on Monday. A draw - and only a draw - will be required, whatever happens tonight.

* Actually think my maths is terrible there. Come on Cardiff

If SheffU win, they'll be 5 points behind us. They'll stay 5 points back after a draw on Monday, with 2 games and 6 points left to fight for.

But our huge GD gives us an extra point !

An extra half point. It won't matter if Sheff win their last two and we lose ours, (in the situation presented above).

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:50 pm

Long time ago now but Cardiff were the better team ont Turf until we scored, then they capitulated.
Good start for them so far.

Only if we finish level on points. A better GD is irrelevant
if we don't.

Claret53 · Post by **Claret53** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:54 pm

Sheffield don’t look very good at the moment.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:56 pm

Still waiting for Sheff U to get started.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:57 pm

They've hopefully got their chins on their chest after
our win.

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 5:57 pm

How was that a yellow?

EFL officials have dredged a new low this season.

So are the fans. It sounds like it's being played in Cardiff.

Cardiff looking good so far. Sheff Utd fans gone quiet

Hilarious. It's so much funnier watching them lose after taking the lead.

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:04 pm

Really well worked, if lucky at the end.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:04 pm

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:05 pm

Sheff Utd winning but they've been rubbish

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:06 pm

Really lucky but we can’t really grumble about luck today.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:08 pm

Stop Hamer stop Sheff Utd

Kgun5 · Post by **Kgun5** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:11 pm

A lot of hotheads on the pitches today.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:14 pm

The amount of space Sheff Utd leave at the back should give our lads plenty of opportunity on Monday

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:15 pm

Raksake (sp?) looks like he is struggling with a hammy

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 6:18 pm

With Millwall losing, it means they'll certainly come into our game with nothing to play for.

Cardiff are so slow to recognize pressure. It's no wonder their close to bottom.

Pearcey · Post by **Pearcey** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 7:13 pm

Hamer gone off with a slight hamstring.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 7:13 pm

Another lucky deflection settles things.
