5 subs allowed now from 9 subs. 

Stupid rule change again

Yeh I meant the max we could name, not the max we could use.

Totally in favour of the rule change personally. Intensive schedule, certainly helps us with our playing style, injury woes and the amount of players we could do with taking more of a look at. But I'd probably have been in favour of it without any of that.

The 5th sub should have to be a keeper though IMO.

Kaminski is in the house! That's a big boost to our chances of winning today.. 

Yep. As long as he is sharp enough after having been unable to train yet again.

[Miker]

Hoping to see something special from Douglas today if he's starting. He's been a bit of a disappointment thus far. 

I feel Kaminski will become very important to us having a good season, massive boost to have him available. 

No easy games, but this is the sort of game we should be winning if we're serious about playoffs. I think Luton will struggle to contain Arma, Brero and Elliott today.

Hoochie 1 Chadster 0

Decent line up, expect a 3-1 win with Brero scoring again 

[CD_93]

Good to see Nyambe in the squad.

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

We haven't got a striker on the bench...

[Swanson]

9 subs, is that something new ?

[Dreams of 1995]

Brereton to continue being the best wide striker in the world and bag a hat trick today.

Don’t worry. Tony has them drilled like the Dutch team from the 70s. There all strikers if need be ?

I have just listened to the Faz podcast and it brought to mind the earlier discussion in this thread re Ayala’s fitness record. Fazackerley played 593 league games, + 3 subs, from Feb 1971 to Dec 1986. This averages just under 37games a season, when eleven of those seasons only had 42 league games. If FA and League Cup games were included, the average would be approaching 45

And that was with the heavy balls, indifferent pitches and opponents who like to put it about a bit and were allowed to.

[rovers11]

Good line up. Good to see Douglas back in the team. 

Not heard of many of their players and not seen them play this season so I'm not sure what to expect from them. Interesting to see Ryan Tunnicliffe on the bench. His stock has fallen dramatically.

They haven't got a striker in the starting 11!

 

Watch it rain goals now

[bazza]

Strong side. Miserable Tony will have the lads ready to give Luton a 4-0 stuffing. Usually happens after we have torn TM to bits.

Aye, they are made of glass, this lot. I 'd imagine Lil Fuccillo still gets a bit nervous when he sees the fixture list and it ticks round to the tie with Rovers..

Injuries would soon diminish if the players were paid a relatively small salary plus a large performance based bonus as part of their package.

Similar to car salespersons, small retainer but a healthy commission based on sales.

As it is, there's little incentive because they're paid rain, hail, snow or blow.

3 winnable games coming up,im`e ready for the top six,are you???!!!!!!!

And no-one would sign a contract with the club on that basis.

Totally agree. I thought he'd stopped with that nonsense.

They're little Luton and we are THE ROVERS, get out there and batter them!
