“It’s roughly the same weekend as last year in the PL when we played Sheff Utd at home, we were coming off a really good run including the 4-0 against Brighton.
We were playing well and expected to beat them last season. I can’t believe how much has changed in 12 short months.”
“That feels like 10 years ago, what a crap performance that was.”
“We may be looking back at that performance quite fondly by about 5pm Saturday”
“I’m clutching at anything now, but I’m praying this Saturday is the bookend, it all started to go horribly wrong in the game with Sheffield Utd at home last season we were in form, and curled up and died, and we haven’t recovered since.”
“How are we 35 and 40 behind Burnley and Sheff U when we finished above them in the prem?
Expected to be behind them but the margin is stunning.”
“we are lightyears behind them.”
“Recruited wrong and haven’t been able to break from that losing mentality.. FWIW teams like Sheff U have only managed to break from it by having a larger turnaround of players (imo)”
“Luton do have 15 games left and 45 points to play for to try and secure their Championship status, but they still have to face Sheffield United, Burnley and Leeds, meaning based on the evidence of the season so far, it’s more like 12 matches remaining to stay up.”
“All is not lost we are 2 points fourth team from bottom , we can still turn things just need a win from somewhere why not against Sheff Utd “
“Cos they’re good and we’re not”
“If we get the little bit of luck that Sunderland had for their goal against Sheff, then it could kickstart us”
“I expect everyone will be up for it on Saturday it’s not difficult when Wilder is in the opposition dug out”
“I reckon we’ll get something from this.”
“I have a feeling we can pull something off today or Saturday”
“I can see us getting a point”
“It’d be typical of this lot to raise themselves for Sheffield United on Saturday, put in a decent(ish) performance but lose, then revert to type against Plymouth on Tuesday.”
“We will lose against Sheffield and Plymouth.”
“Sheff Utd play 4231 and are strong in wide areas, like Sunderland.
Do we match up their formation? 1 up front certainly isn’t working but if we return to 352 do we want Andersen being pulled out the flanks to deal with Rak Sakyi or Harmer? And we’ve signed lots of wide players. Could go 442 but the solution to being awful in midfield doesn’t seem to be to take another body out of midfield. I’m at the point now where I basically think nothing is likely to work.”
“Let’s just hope the fans don’t resort to abusing the board and players as that doesn’t achieve anything. We don’t want it to turn ugly because if we have the slightest chance at staying up that’s something we don’t need.”
“I would imagine at 3-0 down after an hour on Saturday, things could get quite aggressive!”
“If we lose at home on Saturday and against Plymouth on Wednesday… the ground is going to be absolutely toxic. No one will be safe. The Plymouth game is absolutely massive.
We do not look at team capable of winning or scoring. Genuinely believe we are going down”
