2022/23 Matchday Thread

[BelizeHatter]

Kenny gonna be rocking later. Hope the boys start bright and are high energy and the crowd stay focused and give them full backing even if its tense and nervous. They need us so lets get behind them and let rip today. COYRRH

 

[oakroader]

we'll see how good a manager/tactician NJ really is today...
with limited resources available can he keep our heads above the quicksand we find ourselves in???
do or die luton...

 

[BelizeHatter]

Great line up. Lots stronger than expected. Lets hope no breakdowns

 

[BelizeHatter]

They have a strong front footing with Ejaria Miete and Joao

 

[BelizeHatter]

Bring it on. Come on boys. Be cool strong and assertive.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Good to have have a few back in Campbell, Bree, Bradley, Clark. Wonder how many of those are actually fit or we are taking a bit of a risk on. I imagine Bree might not be 100% at least.

Kind of galling that Adebayo seems to have picked up quite a serious one in setting up a goal that was wrongfully disallowed. Would have made all this totally moot as we would be in anyway. Feels like a bit of a double whammy there

Got to keep our heads today, we lost discipline against Fulham, can’t be diving in in the penalty area a la Potts against Blackpool either.

No matter what happens it’s been a fantastic season, if we fall short at the end it won’t be for a lack of effort on anyones part.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Weeeeeeeeeeee

 

[BelizeHatter]

Thank you very much for that lil present

 

[Craig]

Getting relegated is shite but I reckon I’d be more pissed off if I was a Boro fan today. Last game, chance of playoffs, playing a team with nowt to play for who have had a middling season and getting pasted.

 

[oakroader]

30 points who gives a fuck…
We’re Luton town and we’re going up…

 

[Super_horns]

Huddersfield have done well but you’ll probably playing them over Forest ?

 

[Craig]

Just seen Luton goal… brill

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Great performance, having Clark and Campbell back in midfield made a huge difference and we were good value for it. Goal was fortunate to say the least but we deserved that little bit of luck I feel as we’ve not had much in the last few games!

Judging from the lap of honour the group we had available today will be what we have for the rest of the way however far that is. Adebayo was limping quite badly at the lap of honour and the rest of the injured group including berry, Pelly had various medical contraptions strapped to their legs.

Probably won’t make much noise in the playoffs but have to say i Don’t care about that really though, this feels like a huge achievement to me. So proud of this group of players. Nobody expected this except maybe Nathan!

Impressive win that against a good Boro side who needed the 3pts.

16 in the league for Riis, 19 overall, class act considering the service we've given him.

DJ surprisingly bossing it at LWB and Ali McCann showing his quality. Think Bambo Diaby might have earned himself an extension too.

We need major work but there are some building blocks under Lowe.

Thanks for making our day relatively stress free!

Interesting about Diaby, gave genuinely one of the worst performances I’ve seen at championship level a few months ago when we beat you here. A hot and cold player perhaps?

Lost two years of his career and was working in a garage at one point. He's played 4 and a half games and has been good in 3 and a half.

I don't even think he was our worst defender at your place, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Our player of the season (Iversen) was the worst player in the pitch too.

Still only 24, he's a worthwhile project imo.

I'm sure if this prevented Middlesbrough or Millwall out of the top 6, there would've been more questions asked, but the reality is that Luton would've scored at some point in that game anyway.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Forest v Huddersfield final I predict.
Which means it will be the opposite.

Here’s hoping. I can almost see the floods of tears filling up the River Trent right now

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

VAR not going to be used in the semi finals after all it seems. Going to be used at Wembley for the final though.

Queue Forest fans, who have a real problem with us since we beat them at Easter, moaning on Twitter and blaming us for it not being used. Never had any thoughts on them before but an extremely odd group of online fans it seems

[Kenneth E End]

Almost predictably the first comment is from a Forest fan saying it’s Luton’s fault!

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Yep and other stuff like “if var was in place we wouldn’t be in the playoffs at all” etc etc. never known a group of fans so unbelievably rattled by 1 result

Well, us v York maybe

 

[Kenneth E End]

I’m going to make a declaration - if Luton don’t go up, I hope Sheffield Utd or Huddersfield do. Nottingham Forest would be insufferable a level higher. A club with more self entitlement than any other it appears at this level, despite 20 years of underachievement and overspending.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Agree...... ABF

 

[BelizeHatter]

C'mon You Rip Roaring Hatters.

Today is one of three. Play and support the boys with heart but freedom. These chances dont come along often. No regrets. Lets leave it out there for the boys and be proud and loud.

The Kenny. Under the lights

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Kenny under the lights, could be a special atmosphere - if we dont win this home leg then probably going to be a tough ask to get through you feel. Not feeling too nervous about this, not because i think we will definitely win, just because it feels like its a bit of a free hit. I know the players and management will not be thinking that certainly but felt a lot more nervous before the Reading game than this, just didn't expect we would get close to this this season so feels enjoyable rather than high pressured. Anyway, doesnt matter what i feel does it!

Few whispers that Adebayo might be back in contention for this which would be huge if so, whether he is fit to risk a start though remains to be seen. Saw Berry might be close too which would be amazing considering he had one of those boot things on during the lap of honour last week!

 

[oakroader]

Look who’s been spotted at the kenny…

 

[BelizeHatter]

Adebayo was a bluff then. Oh well. Lets get into em. Like TFCH, free hit for me. Great to be here, just let rip and see what happens.

 

[Super_horns]

Both teams had good penalty shouts .


Poor keeping to be beaten at the near post for Huddersfield’s goal ?

Good free kick and finish for equaliser.
