Championship - 22-23

[DE.]

Boro will be happy to take a 0-0 back home for the second leg.

Sunderland Vs Boro final... poor old Tone's heart broken no matter what the result is.

Is that one of them ? What about the others ?

[superniko]

Talk of Rovers or Millwall ‘bottling it’ - Sheffield Wednesday were something like 6 clear with a game in hand at the top of the table with about 9 games to go. 
Missed automatics and then lost 4-0 to Peterborough in the 1st leg. 

For Rovers, a league with Plymouth and Peterborough should be a good thing (apart from the long away days). If the relegated Prem clubs are basket cases (here’s hoping), then we should have a proper run at the Top 6.

None of the 3 likely remaining play off clubs should be a threat to any play off aspirations. So Bolton away please. Peterborough was a horrid day last time.

don't mind Barnsley away. Easy to get to and parking is one of easier I've been to.

The basket case clubs coming down qill have 100m to play with though. 

As basket case as they are there is only one Venkys.

Luton doing what Luton do - set pieces.

[LDRover]

What a handful this Luton front 2 are, they're bullying all of the Sunderland back line.

Rinse, repeat.

Looks like the Luton manager has identified a lack of physicality in this Sunderland side, they are dominant all over the pitch....and that left sided defender looks a player.....

This is literally the only way Luton can play and Bell remains dogshit. 

[ben_the_beast]

Absolute bullies. I hope they go up. I don't want us to have to play them again next year. 

Think Sunderland have done a poor job at stopping the delivery. They need to stick like glue to the Luton wing backs. As soon as they get a cross in there's literally nothing Sunderland can do.

[Oldgregg86]

Lockeyers goal almost identical to the goal he scored past us. Just hope they can hold out 

[Exiled_Rover]

Embarrassing performance from Sunderland this - they've been bullied off the pitch (not that they turned up).

A Luton player just had an effort worse than Hedges, I didn’t know that was possible

That was insane. If Sunderland would of scored he would of been lynched

He could have done nothing and it would have been better

[Inferi]

Impressive by Luton. Just dominated Sunderland and made them look weak. 

[1874]

Yet it was still better than chipping the ball into the keepers hands

[JHRover]

Sunderland's entire second half 'onslaught' limited to 2-3 shots off target from outside of the area.

A familiar story.

Watching the footage there are some very strange / unpleasant people involved at Luton. But there's no doubt they've earned a shot at Wembley after last season and this.

[Penwortham Blue]

I must admit to being very happy that Mowbray / Venus aren’t going to make it, it would have been too much to bare 😊

[Dolly blue]

Luton…..ruthless, brave , combative all the way across the park, uncompromising, utterly focussed, hell bent on a positive outcome..what ever it took .

Rovers…..if only we had some of this ..

[Hasta]

I've never known before that when Luton won the league cup in the late 88, they were managed by Ray Harford. They reached the final under him the following year too.
