interesting point is his Wales spot under threat? 🤷 An opportunity for him to make sure though. Allen is excellent... when he's excellent For an experienced player he's far too inconsistent

Fletcher was hobbling at the end at Blackpool, surely he's going to be knackered? if he isn't the yes keep him in but would expect he'd be on the bench Truthfully, I would consider him for the bench. It would be a huge call to make, as he is finally in great form, but then he's always one half away from exploding during those times. He must be very frustrated as a player, he's in great shape. He plays poorly for a while, gets sharp, does great for a few games and then gets injured. Rinse and repeat. I suppose that the break is just around the corner, so maybe he could recover if nothing too serious happens to him versus Luton. That said, who else would start? Surridge is well out of confidence, Campbell is not ready, Sima is probably injured. It's frustrating to have one of the most well-rounded strike teams in the league, but constantly be worried about injuries.

My team:
Bursik
Smith Ostigard Souttar Wilmot Tymon
Allen Thompson Vrancic
Brown Fletcher / Surridge.
I would expect him to drop Thompson for Sawyers though (which I hope he doesn't) and probably Wilmot for Batth.

Tomorrow is my first time going to a Stoke match in 5 years. Been offered to sit in the Luton end and I cannot turn it down.
See you all there!

Difficult call against a side that can win 5-0 and lose 0-5.
They are bound to score 1, we are unlikely to score twice.
Vrancic must start for me.

For me: Bursik; Ostigard, Souttar, Wilmot; Smith, Allen, Thompson, [Fox/Doughty]; Vrancic; Campbell, Brown. Fletch shouldn't be playing three games in a week; Tymon looks shattered physically and mentally and needs a rest; that back three has been our best for most of the season; Campbell looks lacking in match fitness, but is only going to get it back by playing matches; Vrancic is Powell when Powell is unfit, our creator in chief. Fletch instead of Campbell for me. if scoring keep him in and we have a break after this. Fair point - forgot to factor in the international break. Play the in-form and scoring striker.

Luton third in xg table. We’re just 7th. We were remarkably high up on the xG table when he was sacked. He's a remarkably good manager.

We will win 0-1 again, assuming Batth plays.

Good morning all! I’ll take a scrappy shithousey boring 1-0 win if it means we can get back onto some winning form again. Only shit thing is really is the international break. Need to get in the habit of winning games and having the mentality of we need to be winning every game and not sitting back

Big game today.
Another scrappy 1-0 win would be perfect.
We need a run of victories to put that bad spell firmly behind us.

Tough game. Would rip your hand off for a draw if offered now. Jones, despite his record here, is an excellent manager and has that squad eating out of his hand.

Massive game today just before the international break. I'm just so glad to be a bit nervous again before matches after a couple of years of general apathy...

Luton third in xg table. We’re just 7th. That feels about right for us. We're in with a genuine playoff chance based on performances so far, but it's a lottery really.
