Davefevs Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 The @BigTone condensed version. Tough, away trip. Nathan Jones’s team play a high-tempo game, pile men forward when they can. Typically most variants of 442/4231/4141, but based on a back 4. Happy to make changes and adjust system....as we can see below. In goal, Shea has replaced the erratic Sluga (just like he did last season). The two CBs, Lockyer and Bradley are more than comfortable on the ball and will be patient, gradually getting Luton up towards the halfway line, which is when they up the tempo, usually in the wide positions. Against Reading and more recently they have more conservative full-backs in Crainie and Potts, than perhaps Norrington-Davies, Pearson or Galloway. In midfield they have the “tank” that is Pelle Ruddock-Mpanzu, who likes a tackle, and a shot. Also, they have Glen Rea who’s keeping Morrell out and Leicester loanee Kieran Dewsbury-Hall. Up top they James Collins, with 9 goals this season, backed up by Danny Hylton a hard-working striker and wide men Harry Cornick and Lua-Lua. Prediction: Although Luton have a good home record, City have a good away record, and I think Saturday’s win might just be enough to steal the points tonight.

ExiledAjax Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'd completely forgotten we were playing today. Keep Mpanzu quiet, control the midfield, take some shots and maybe we'll get something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Luton away has been a bit difficult for us in recent times and they seem to score a few against us. Time to put that to bed - or will the team capitulate ala Rotherham ? Heart says a narrow win, head says 0-2 or possibly 0-3 like last season.

bristolcitysweden Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Playing for opposite teams I have taken notice of a few player. Never have I noticed Joe Williams.

Bazooka Joe Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Pleased to hear that, due to our injury crisis, we have special dispensation to play with the aid of crutches, wheelchairs and stretchers.

Would actually be a very decent game to get a win out of, but sneaking past Wycombe doesn’t bode well against what looks to be a markedly better side. Keep it tight and pray for a Fammy winner off the bench looks like our best strategy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly why we could. Decisions are made at the time , we are not party to all that goes on. I am convinced that we would have liked to have kept Morrell but he probably wasn’t guaranteed a starting place at the beginning of the season and we couldn’t have imagined the impact of so many injuries. I will just throw into the pot that if JM was that great wouldn’t he have started more matches for an average Luton side ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I reckon Semenyo should be dropped and used as a sub this game. His finishing has been poor. I saw a stat on instagram showing he had the 2nd most shots in the champ and not scored next to Akinfenwa. We need goals. I wouldn't mind seeing Edwards start ahead of him tbh.

REDOXO Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Today’s line up is going to be mighty interesting. With Vyner Odowda and Hunt all walking wounded at best Mr Holden is in a right proper bind! I get as worked up as the next girl on here when the game is on, however afterward try to put the game in perspective of a biblical injury crisis that the manager and his assistants have not given as an excuse to my recollection. If ever we had a ‘chance’ to play a couple of the youngsters this is it. My thought is we lack tempo and are playing in a way that invites pressure (its little wonder we keep conceding deflected shots). I would be inclined to play Edwards (the guy got an assist for the winner on Saturday and must be up for it more than ever) and one of the other lads....
