As for the result I could see us getting turned over as they need the money more than we do.


You don't fancy following Bonser's recommendation and "go and support Luton" in their end then? :wink:



That doesn’t even appeal to me anymore.

All I've heard on the commentary so far is

Ince saves
Corner
Ince saves
Luton linking well
Ince saves

Hope Clayton keeps it up.

Not having a great game so far. Being hit on the break too much.

Old man says they're outplaying us, his text commentary to me is

8.08 - They are all over us, ince a point blank save, not 1 shot or corner to their 4 shots
8.10 - Luton hit bar, they should be 2 up
8.21 - We have our first shot on 33m

He also guesses the crowd to be circa 2700, which is quite high when you consider we only got 2500 at home to Swansea the year we won the League 2 title.

Not good so far, continually ignoring Weston/Ishmel could backfire on Mullen, espeically if we go out tonight and Saturday. I'm sure we'll come through though, like to bloody well think so anyway.

My old man is usually very down to earth and not prone to over-reactions, but speaking to him just he said he is rapidly going off Mullen. He can't understand why Ishmel can't even get on the bench and his view is that Taundry is nowhere near the quality of Weston, he reckons (as I do) that Mullen will be lucky to last the season if the performances continue to detriorate the way they have the past few weeks.

Wouldn't surprise me, I predicted less than 2,000 on the first page of this thread. That's 700 down on what we had against Swansea in the round prior to this 2 seasons ago when all was smiley and happy. About 900 less than my old man guestimated at.

I'd be amazed if he lasts the season. I'm all for giving people fair cracks of the whip but in his tactical approach, team selection, reaction (or lack thereof) to opposition changes during a game - it's just not there, is it?
