*~*~* Luton v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[ChrisAshley]

TBF when the camera wasn’t on the Hull Manager on Sunday, Roberts looked fooked on the tele. Smart by Reggie bringing some physicality in

He shouldn't be fucked this early in the season, especially after a 2 week break.

 

[nowtgoodeverhappens]

Luton slight favourites on Betfair.

Also, what am I missing with Boro v Sheff Utd? Boro odds on, Sheff bigger than 3/1?

 

[chopsfc007]

For me the right wing spot is one of the only places that we are weak in. Evidenced by Roberts being out of form and us having to shift Rigg out there.

Happy enough with Browne coming in though it’s a sensible decision.

No idea if that’s a strong Luton side or not given there was a lot of talk about them having injuries. Haway the lads

They have a decent number of defenders missing

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

We are missing about 16

At least we've got four defenders on the pitch this time.

 

[BarrySheensAutograph]

Not sure if I'm keen on Rigg starting right wing, but in Regis we trust.

 

[chopsfc007]

He shouldn't be fucked this early in the season, especially after a 2 week break.

People are just making excuses he was poor but that's fine

 

[Gideon Gungeon]

He's on the bench. Let's be kind and call it rotation.

decent legs option to have imo, coming on later, opening up some gaps there needs a pump or an assist there to boost his confidence

 

[Falconhoof]

Roberts on the bench

I'm not sure how Turtle Spert knew this at 6oclock?

 

[Locke's SAFC]

Noticed you can't get a link to the match for love nor money these days.

 

[knarfw]

I’m not too enthused about Rigg on the wing mind.

Love a bit of Floyd me like

 

[forever changes]

Haway lads. Ice in the head and fire in the belly.

Aal reet Johnsony ??

 

[Mackem Attack]

Wonder what’s happened to that Nakamba, was the self declared best player in the Championship when they went up apparently yet can’t get a start now

It’s on Sky+ that’s why

 

[Ned Land]

The Roberts haters (and there are many) have had a right day of it, every thread, even in SMB and Parsnip (probably even Politics but I'm not checking). Anyone would think we have got to the top of the table with 10 men. Perhaps not starting him today is the right move, perhaps not, but he has contributed loads this season and will do more, he is a very good footballer.

It could be tactical, mate.

 

[Mackem Attack]

Think it’s also tactical to stop their left wing back. Good decision I think.

Could well be a change of shape. They usually go 5 at the back, so we could be doing something more central focused to counter them and leave Doughty and Hume 1v1?

He’s had a bad injury I think, been out a long time

 

[DJ Doubt]

I fear that we may be due a reality check with this one

Could well be. Guess we will find out soon enough.

 

[AmblerThorn]
