1960maaan Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 That was a let down from Sunderland. Luton everything you expect, but Sunderland trying to run with the ball every single time and every player was madness come the end. Even when they got in good positions wide the lad ran at the defender when in a good position. That break by Luton, managed to turn a certain goal and a winning one, into another nervy few minutes. I bet the manager has a word. I don't think M'boro or Cov will be too worried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Lockyer "we had to mix it up against them, be horrible and dirty and that's how we got the job done" Horrible horrible club.

cidercity1987 Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Sunderland played like the worst team to make the play offs for ten years, which they were with less than 70 points Hope Luton get battered at Wembley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They commit about 3 fouls at every set piece, Lockyer in particular is always pulling opposition players to the ground off the ball, they illegally block the keeper off. They win but boy is it ugly, not averse to a dive either, Morris won a penalty with a shocking one against Boro & the other lad up front dived twice tonight. If they did go up good luck with trying that stuff against Liverpool or Man City with VAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 They probably play a bit more football, attempt more shots under Edwards. Still quite physical but Edwards style a bit better than Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, think they’re a decent watch, hardly the Crazy Gang in their pomp. Not sure VAR in the final is an obvious problem for them either, they’re allowed to adapt to circumstances.

W-S-M Seagull Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 What I find interesting is that I believe all the clubs in the Championship play offs all increased their spend on wages whilst clubs around the Championship have had to make cuts.

roddy-d Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 All I know is if Luton can do it then we sure can next season. Cornick when he signed & & watching his fitness tests he couldn’t believe it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set piece delivery is sensational. I've seen a lot worse than them. They do launch it…they then pick up bits and pieces and play from there into wide areas. That is their predominant style. They play fast, they press fast. They have some quality too, but they are the most direct side in the Championship this season. They do it well. They pin you to your own penalty area, they make it difficult for you to get out. The smaller pitch enabled that. I know you might laugh, but it’s why LJ narrowed the pitch by 1yd on each side to help the press. They are very similar to how Cardiff played in (what was it?) 17/18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Seems like a lot of people aren’t big fans of Lockyer. I can only assume it’s because of who he has played for in the past…. Personally I think he has everything we need in terms of attitude and application. Not the biggest but doesn’t get bullied and does the dirty side of things well. We complain all the time that we are too nice of a team. Need more about us when it comes to the not so nice to be watch side of the game if we are to challenge at any point. For Lockyer in particular, the be on the verge of the premier league now having spent most his career in the lower leagues is quite an achievement for him personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly that, but he’s a cheat too…a guy a feigns head injuries, does sly stuff off the ball, goes over the top of the ball, then plays the victim. I think there’s a difference between streetwise and cheating, I think Lockyer is on the cheating side of the fence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
