The Cat Posted 16 May, 2023 Posted 16 May, 2023 If we can't have Millwall mixing things up then Luton with their EDL lads wandering around the Premier League next season will at least make it interesting outside the stadium.

HarvSFC Posted 16 May, 2023 Posted 16 May, 2023 Selles is wondering why the Luton lot are so happy, they lost the possession stat 38% to 62%.
woodsaint1 Posted 16 May, 2023 Posted 16 May, 2023 Jones was right. Luton are one of the best teams in europe. Us on the other hand....
saint1977 Posted 16 May, 2023 Posted 16 May, 2023 If the club don’t inject pace, physical strength and leadership throughout the spine of the squad over the summer and shed the sluggish weaklings signed over the last few windows it’ll be a battle to survive in the Championship. 1

And character, I'd say that's even more important. Luton aren't full of quality or players that will end up at the top level for ever, they are an incredibly hard working bunch with the right character and mixed in with the right physical attributes. I'd argue Sunderland had more players in their team with much better technical ability and youth, but it goes to show how you always need a bit of substance to any quality you have. 2

Thing is with Luton you can see they've assembled a cheap squad that typically would be in a relegation battle but they focus on doing the basics right, defend well and attack on the break , if they do go up I wonder if they'll allocate a place on the open top bus parade for Nathan Jones ?

For me if Luton get promoted it will also prove a shift away from reliance on gate receipts, we've already got Bournemouth in the Premier league with 10k ground, Luton would be the same, Brentford 17k, no need for big capacities to fund the team The moral of all this is we should have stayed at The Dell. 1

It was a good game, wasn't it? If NJ laid the foundations for Luton to play like that, under him, how on earth did our players end up playing like they did? Anyway, will be watching tonight for hopefully a similar engaging match...we will be playing one of the teams next season.

Pilchards Posted 17 May, 2023 Posted 17 May, 2023 What a fucking game. This City team are sensational so far. Cant remember the last time I enjoyed watching a game like this.
FarehamSaintJames Posted 17 May, 2023 Posted 17 May, 2023 City have been incredible. Real playing like us. So satisfying seeing Real fall apart. Can’t string two passes together.

revolution saint Posted 17 May, 2023 Posted 17 May, 2023 I’m watching the Boro v Coventry game. Coventry bossing Boro and one nil up. I guess we could have a chance with Carrick if it stays this way but not seen much to impress me about Boro. Only one game though so might be a bit harsh.

Both teams have had a shit time of it since they last graced the top division, more so luton, be interesting to see if they can get Kenilworth Road up to the required standard by August of if they’ll need to groundshare.

But Utd have a chance in the FA cup. A derby of course, and Utd have a massive successful history in the cup. Plus I think it was they who ended City's incredible long winning streak a year or two ago.
LaptopSaint Posted 17 May, 2023 Posted 17 May, 2023 Incredible to watch Man City adopt the Selles tactics with John Stones taking on the Maitland Niles role, and Haaland struggling to imitate Tall Paul. #WeMarchOn

For years Coventry were our twin in Div 1, we occupied two positions 12 through 17 every year. I remember a quote from a Coventry fan about Saints when they had a rare decent run of games. Claiming Saints had gone all 'lah de da page 1 of ceefax' . I'm guessing three quarters of this forum won't have a clue what I'm on about. Both Luton and Coventry have had a terrible time in recent years, be good to see one of them in the Premier league. Suspect either will come crashing down again. For purely selfish reasons I'd prefer Luton go up. Firstly because they look like a team that is ever so slightly 'up for it', glad to see the back of them. Secondly because Coventry is always a great away trip.

If Boro don't impress you I wonder how you feel about Saints. They were 21st on the table when Carrick took over in October. 17 points from 16 games. They cobbled together 58 from the next 30. The sort of form that could have seen them be in the automatic promotion places if he'd been there at the start. By contrast since October we've stormed our way to a grand total of 12 points. I already find the idea of him leaving a semi-stable, solidly effective, nailed on promotion candidate for the shit show of St Mary's laughable. But throw in the notion that somehow WE would be too big a club or job for HIM in our current state... We have zero chance of attracting him.
