Luton Town (H) J P Trophy 3rd Round Tuesday 4/11/08.

Fri Oct 31, 2008 9:24 am

Looking at the league 1 table and our erratic league form, this competition could well be our only chance of success this season . That said , the Hatters are in a much worst position than us struggling at the bottom of league 2 due to a massive points deduction.
One good thing this tie brings is the return of a Saddlers legend, the mighty Ian Roper . Welcome home Ropes.

Prediction 2-1 home win , one step nearer wembley.

3-0 to us. Jabo to score 2 and Roper to momentarily forget who he's playing for and score a thunderbolt for the other.

Walsall 1Luton 0. Ricketts tap in on 43 seconds. Everyone sits back and waits for the goal fest, but instead we get a 90 minute arduous slog.

4143 to miss the goal as he's too busy erecting a big "Welcome to hell" banner to scare the 97 Luton fans :)

To be honest I couldn't give a flying fig about this match and for the first time in my life I will not be attending a home mach whilst I am in the country.

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

With the official word being only the F2G Lower and the 'text 64444444446 eat a bannana for health' stand being open, does that mean away fans will be in there with us. That will be weird.

They'll be allowed to drive into the ground and watch the game whilst remaining seated in their taxi.

I am sorely tempted to break my embargo, just to give Ropes a cheer especially since I think Ricketts will be more than capable of drawing a penalty from him.

2 - 1 to Luton
1768 to attend - no-one to go home satisfied - apart from one taxi load driving back down the M1

5-0 win and the crowd will be less than 2,000.

Just over two years ago, we were at home to Swansea in this trophy and attracted 2,557. We went into that match having only lost once (at Grimsby) and top of the table, so the club was on an upward curve after the dismal disaster of the season before.

If we work to the fact that we've lost 20% of our support, then about 2,000 is right, but I reckon slightly less, after all, we're in a credit crunch! :roll:
