v Luton Town (a) - 29/1/22

[DE.]

If this cascade of injuries was happening in Football manager you'd be posting it as a bug that needs fixing on the SI forums. 

[joey_big_nose]

Think we will struggle to cause Luton any problems with this front three.

Reckon we might be forced into doing something mental like putting Ayala up front last 15 mins.

Now I've got Steve Kean in my head. This is getting worse by the minute!

Similar stamina tbf.

Who’d have guess we’d be pushing for promotion and playing with a front two of butterworth and JRC.

I think he’d be worth getting on for his set play aerial ability alone. It’s our only sniff today.

Except closer together because the pitch is so small 

[Exiled_Rover]

Lansbury is a shithouse - done Edun and Buckley, dives whenever anyone gets near him.

Also he's let his child doodle on his thighs with permanent marker, so there's that too.

Millwall 1 up

id`e be no good in the pro game,id`e just clean ***** like him out big style😄

[joey_big_nose]

This is first game in a long time I feel like we have been comprehensively the worse team.

Even Hull we we created much more till the subs. Otherway round today, created nothing and Luton have created some good chances.

Not just the offensive injuries either. They've been on top of it defence. Van Hecke being owned in the physical battle again.

Winning promotion come down to fine margins. We desperately need another forward or two (good ones) in the next 2 days - players who will make a difference and nick the points in matches like this.

Butterworth is not ready for first team football.

 

[West Yorks Rover]

Have we been woeful at the back ?

That's what the reporter on Talksport just said, " How Blackburn have kept 8 clean sheets in 10 I don't know" ?

[jim mk2]

As its stands, our rivals are having very good days... except for West Brom. 

Really need Barnsley to score

Really need Rovers to score!

tbh we don`t look in any danger,biggest worry is one of the luton lot collapsing in the box for a penalty

Would be nice if at least one of the two can stay injury-free for more than one game.

[joey_big_nose]

Actually doing better than I thought. Shows what I know...

Weird remark, I'd say it's more our midfield and attack that are poor so the ball keeps bouncing right back.

[Miker]

We're getting closer...

[Angry_Pirate]

Now I know he has Butterworth, JRC, Johnson, Nyambe and Zeefuik around him... but Buckley has to be better. 

He needs to step it up. He's performance is key, if not the only way we win today.

[joey_big_nose]

Butterworth continues to be disappointing but Buckley so committed and physical, and think JRC doing well.

All academy front three.
