First. Not that anybody cares.

Second. I care

Will just be in the pub for this one, but come on

 

[Tingo Fandango]

They remind me a little bit of the old Bassett team.. unfortunately. This could be a tough afternoon. Hopefully we can catch them at a good moment of their emotional Lockyer rollercoaster.

No this fella Sam Allison is not a Luton Town player he is a totally inexperienced referee for this fire cracker of a game.

At least it’s not a first timer

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Prepare for an aerial bombardment on Wes 6 yard box. Must, must must win.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

This fixture last season was depressing.

We were fucking awful.

It was after that game Hecky finally realised a midfield of Norwood and Fleck was not quite good enough!!

Good enough for him at Burnley away in the PL

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Hope Anel is fit because we have no Bogle.

 

[Flumps]

I don't know why but it's difficult to not feel like there's 3 points coming. Not to say Luton won't be making it difficult and this has potential to be a great game but the lads should definitely be riding fairly high in terms of confidence and they certainly have ability.

I'm also banking on Luton being a bit less disciplined and still feeling a bit full from all the food and booze tomorrow.

 

[jono_t2000]

Think this one will end up a draw but realistically 1 point isn't going to be enough for us.

A win (and a big win at that) is the only thing that will be of any use

 

[1987]

Been looking forward to this match since the full time whistle at Villa. Nervous excitement. A win and strong performance could mean a lot.

Weird isn't it, like the season was done and we know we're down, but there's a growing part of my brain which doesn't realise it.

 

[Argentinemanager]

As some have said were down and so we should be after that start but deep down inside i still believe we can stay up and this game is the start of the magical journey, 2-0 blades

 

[bakeblade]

Good enough for him at Burnley away in the PL

I think that was his resignation letter

 

[Loco Blade]

Old Skool championship day out ! Love it c’mon you blades

 

[Espania blade]

I wonder if CE will put Adam Davies in goal to counter Luton's expected bombardment of crosses, he's not a brilliant shot stopper but better than Wes at dealing with crosses

 

[TJ blade]

It was after that game Hecky finally realised a midfield of Norwood and Fleck was not quite good enough!!

I don't think he realised, some fucker told him otherwise he'd still have played em!!

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

With the ref being used to the ruff n tumble leagues down below he might be more accepting of Lutons kick owt that moves tactics.

Apart from VAR

 

[Blacksea]

Already tired of hearing about this ref story in the media,our game is becoming a sideshow to this 'event'.Have a feeling that VAR will want to become part of this story so it's imperative we keep 11 men on the field for 101 minutes,it's going to be highly charged, physical and our friends in the control room are going to be watching everything like hawks,the jostling and holding in the box at dead balls could be under close scrutiny,and I can see lots of lunging tackles going in so plenty of chances that cards and penalties,or not awarded penalties are going to play a part here

Agreed. Our blocking and holding of opposing players at corners and set pieces into our box is mind blowingly stupid. VAR are sure to punish us at some point.

Anyone got the line up yet?

Had to change the order in which I stuck stickers into an album due to superstition. Thank me later.

 

[Guilty pleasure]

Got a ticket for this one and was really looking forward to my first trip to Bramall Lane for some time, and I’m laid up with bloody shingles, another day for me, anyway, good luck Blades.
