v Luton Town (h) - 1/5/23

[Displaced Rover]

Hedges is infuriatingly one footed. Pathetic for a professional footballer

Such a strange end to the season this. 

Actually think we have played some of our best footy towards the end, just can't find the net. 

Yet probably our worst run of results.  Style over substance disease that has fully consumed modern day football.

Diaz will be on for the second half. He has to say goodbye to the home fans before his big pay day in the sun.

They're all good squad players but not one of them is good enough to start in this league. 

Get Dack on. 

Good squad players if we don't need to rely on any of them to score. Unfortunately that's three of our four primary attacking options. 

With that said post-December Diaz isn't even a good squad player. He's terrible.

The lad just cannot stand on his feet today maybe a change of boots might help

The board's prevailing tactical thoughts at half time are either Brereton or Dolan off, with switching their positions next up.

I'd take Dolan off. He's too lightweight, and Luton's best opportunities have come when he loses it - although Brereton has done it a couple of times too.

Brereton down the middle, Dack in behind. Hedges to find a final ball. 

Rovers should be 2 up.

Anyone advocating Dolan remains on the pitch is drunk drugged or just deluded he has been awful. Thomas on to be more direct Luton are no better than us we just need that one goal and it’s lift off

Give over! he has had a few mistakes but his closing down and few glimpses out on the left have more than justified his place. Hedges & Diaz however are offering nothing at all!

[bazza]

I'm losing faith in JDT. Surely he can do better than this with a must-win game.

He should put himself on upfront, can’t be any worse than the incumbents.

[BigBar]

Dolan hot and cold. But that's what you get with him. Simple as that. Some rate him, some don't. Neither are right. It's weather you see the value in having him in the team or not. Ultimate marmite.

[OsloRover]

Ok JDT I’ll solve the riddle for you:

step 1: BBD off never to play for us again

step 2: Leonard on, we need a goalscorer and he’s out best option right now unproven or not

step 3: move Dolan left, Leonard central obviously

step 4: Thomas on for Hedges

Step 5 (15-20min in): Dack on for anyone

I calculate this will give us the highest probability of scoring a goal and winning the match. 
You’re welcome.

He wasn't great himself.

[Mercer]

JDT has 15 minutes to save our season.

Two of BBD, Dolan and Hedges MUST be hooked now.

We need Leonard and Dack on - they know the way to goal.

We have absolutely feckin nothing to lose.

Absolute insanity from JDT. 

[jim mk2]

I still think this is pre-ordained

Luton will sneak this late on 1-0. 

[bazza]

We all want Dack and Leonard. Effing do it!!

All 3 must come off for me Clive.

Tippy tappy football would be great if we had a lewandowski or Harry kane up front but we don't we have a Harry carry

All  we are saying,please give us a goal!

[Bbrovers2288]

I think we need 2, 1 up with a Luton barrage is a definite draw

If they’ve offered him more than £30k a week Villarreal will probably be on the phone to their lawyers right now asking how binding a pre-contract agreement really is.

He isn't going for play offs.
