I'm predicting that we go on a great run until the end of the season and miss out on a playoff spot by a point.

An impotent forward line once again. At least we don't have Pears gifting goals this week. Surely Toth can't be worse.

Oh, he can. Surely, Luton's manager will have watched how Coventry targeted Toth?

I was going to tell a sweet joke.

Pears Dropped, but he’s injured 

Let's hope it is nothing trivial.

[simongarnerisgod]

pears is`nt injured,he`s been dropped because they are planning to offload him in the summer and ismael wants to see how toth performs

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Big gamble playing the kid at right back. Just because he was ok in the other game doesn’t mean he’ll be ok today. When you make a big step up your first game can be played on adrenalin. The next game maybe not.

Why is it a gamble, we have nothing to play for ?

[Ferrit]

Shaky start at the back.....

[West Yorks Rover]

Luton unbeaten in 5.

[Mercer]

Strange that Pears' injury not mentioned in yesterday's presser?!

Wouldn't surprise me if Pears dropped and thrown a tantrum.

Whatever has happened, we need to see what Toth has in his locker.

Been pretty unimpressed with Toth in his cameos so far...particularly against Coventry and Wolves in the cup, but bloody hell do we need a fresh face between the sticks. Pears cannot continue to be first choice.

[simongarnerisgod]

10 minutes in and it`s cleat luton are terrible but then again we ar`nt much better🙂

[StHelensRover]

First ten minutes have been extremely poor for both sides, very little football being played. No surprise given our form and how much pressure Luton are under, this is a must win for them.

As a keeper it’s not easy to just play bit part cameos, he needs a run of 3/4 games before we should pass judgement on toth.

We also have no-one else to play there.

Would like to see Tyjon get on in 2nd half.

A lot of faith being shown in Montgomery, he must have been impressive in training having been at Chorley so recently. He's not the one I would have seen coming through at RB this year, I had higher hopes for Duru.

Duru is on loan at L2 level - he's clearly higher thought of.

As i speculated a while ago someone will buy Pears for a modest fee and this lot are desperate for brass this summer.

750k plus add on's goes some way towards a lack of ST income headache.

im`e not at all bothered about pears leaving,it`s an indicment of how low we`ve sunk that he`s managed to keep his place for years,despite being not very good and prone to mistakes

[doctorryan]

I'll have 3 words for Pears when he (& Hedges) leave:

Alpha-Mike-Foxtrot

[Exiled_Rover]

Walsh traps Hedges' arm so we can't counter - foul, but no card. Travis drags back their player - yellow card

Make it make sense. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Not troubling Luton.

Is that accumulation suspension for Travis? He’s close

Ref let both sides get away with one so can't really complain.

Should have been clear booking earlier for Dolan.

Seems fair.

Was just difficult to swallow with the 2 pullbacks being 60 seconds apart.

5/10 mins later would have been easier to take.

Nothing coming from either wide player, as per. Ohashi is a poacher - he needs service.
