Luton Town v Leeds United Match Thread

[whiteswan]

Thats a manager not used to pressure and saying things a club happy with top 6 would lap up.

Stupid comment like his win all our home games one.

Yes, he was a bit of a prat there....I couldn't belive those ridiculous comments. I think he's really feeling the jitters

[Cjay]

Why were our last 3 subs defenders ?

[1964white]

Our problems, obvious throughout the season, remain our problems, no 9, 10 or game changing/scoring CM & we’re too easily bullied especially in a game of throw back football. At no time did we have control of the game today. In the end we were a rag bag of subs. On a brighter note the change of GK worked.

Yes, very unlike him.
He’s usually been consistent in his comments and for Norwich it worked in this league.

[Cjay]

He's absolutely buzzing about this point on the roadand then banging on about how he's been involved in lots of promotion battles.

Piss off

[John in Louisiana]

Was thinking the same, Sub. You bet this fact is not lost on the 49ers…

Which is why Farke is probably out after this season regardless of how we fare in the playoff.

[whiteinfrance]

Bamford did ok!

[Jaydog]

Be hard to pass those two up top now.

[The Subhuman]

Bamford did ok!

He did but his lack of pace meant his chance were half chances not good ones... and he ain't getting quicker anytime soon. If we want a slow moving goal scorer then we have Piroe for that

[ElKapitan]

Why were our last 3 subs defenders ?

I would class Bamford as a defender too but surprisingly think he had more impact than Piroe.... Great squad building and assessment of signings they have at Leeds.

[The Subhuman]

What's hapened to Tanaka, tired? Too much switching in position?

The use of the squad all season has left us with some absolutely knackered and the replacements no where near match sharp.

[Cjay]

Both?

His body language reads like he senses this already.

THIS! Well said!

Struijk and Schmidt subs

Mateo Joseph is ill and Rothwell is out with a calf injury in training. The Pascal had to go out for the last few moments. I'm happy hoe we handled this adversity.

Wanted Byram's physicality, Bogle was on a yellow. Schmidt looked sharp in training. We had the idea if he could cut inside with his right foot he could have a chance.

I wasn't 100% happy with the duels. Largie has to step up a bit if he wants more game time.



Rothwell

I expect Rothwell will be out for the next three weeks or next four games. Try bring him back as quick as possible.

Pascal I'm not sure.




On table position

Depends if Sheff Utd win and Sheff Utd and Burnley play ach other so it might still be in our hands.

If Manor puts the chance of way of course it makes life easier But it's definitley one point gained (Farke again blaming a player which some say he never does)

Never under-estimate a team fighting against relegation with the knife between their pitch.

We have another tough game against Middlesbrough on Tuesday.




Solomon

The answer to his form? Daniel James or Bamford or Piroe.

Yes of course a bit dry in terms of end product but you have that in 46-game season. We have many players who can score goals.

Overall, this is not the problem - weve socred the most goals in the league. But small details are always crucial.



Gnonto
Overall, we got the feeling the day was th e day to come in. Luton dont use that midfield so we could afford today.

I want my numbers 10 to press. It was a diffcukt game for him, of coruse he was not shinging that much.




Darlow and Tanaka

Solid, Was not involved in too many scenes. His body language - he calmed everybody down. He looked very reliable. This game was important for his confidence.

Tanaka? I wouldnlt say too much - in possession he's still there in the duels. I donlt have the feeling that he's tired. A bit patchy of the season.

[The Subhuman]

You can't pin your hopes on converting one or two chances in this division. We maybe created two good chances, both missed? At this level it's not good enough. James' solo effort rescured a point, something out of nothing

[Sean_Nile]

I'm gutted and sickened by these performances and I expected play offs, so how do those feel who thought we were nailed on for the title?

5 wins and 2 draws should see us up as champions it has been said
well that is one of the draws out of the way .

[1964white]

Text from a good pal at the game.

Yep. Farke booed at end, presumably for his incomprehensible substitutes. Need a winning goal? Bring on 2 full backs! Last seconds Byram decided to keep ball, rather than put it in box. I said it in January: Lampard in playoffs. Might as well accept Championship football again next season. Haven't played well since Sheffield United game, and Leeds seem unable to win unless they play really well (unlike our rivals). None of which is a surprise....
