Inevitable I’m afraid

We had a chance but blew it. I like RE but some of his tactics have been baffling. I hope he learns

"Inevitable I’m afraid"

By which you mean "can't wait until relegation is mathematically certain so I can be one of the first to say 'I told you so'"

Innit

Some people just love to wallow in misery and/or undermine the confidence of others

I think we're up against it but I don't keep going on about it and also don't believe it's hopeless. I also would have taken being a couple of points of safety (taking GD into account) with 4 games left back in August. Depending on how many points the appeal committee want to hand back to the cheats, of course

Agreed - to adapt a saying pessimism is halfway around the world before optimism has even put its shoes on.

Anyone who says they wouldn't have been happy with this position in august (or early September to be honest) is a liar, stupid, or both.

Not inevitable actually we have a real chance and it's in our own hands. Get a grip but I do think a lo down to our Mzanager, wish he was the Messiah! but he's at charlton.

Complete lack of balls and 'Luton spirit' from some, who have presumably forgotten the past (inc injured, walking wounded and last minute loans at Maine Road).

Presumably the same people who were walking out of the ground early on Saturday when that defiant spirit was what needed to be shown

Posted by Wow on 26/4/2024, 12:08:59, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

Are you really having a pop at people leaving early?
Can you honestly claim to have been in the stand for every minute of every game you've attended?

Re: Relegation

Posted by crumpsall on 26/4/2024, 12:23:33, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

I'm having a pop at half the crowd streaming out v Brentford actually. And not actually, from the start, delivering the Sunderland/Watford atmosphere we all go on about. In my view the crowd turned up even less than the team (utterly mysteriously) did on Saturday.

So it's about that specific game, in our specific situation. Right now.

Of course I don't see every minute, and I strongly suspect you know that. I'm often a late (few minutes) arrival. But actually, in almost 60 years of going, I don't think I've ever left early. Even rhe two 7 nils in London.

And I think the crowd we claim to be would have stayed and sung to the end. Evidently not though.

Re: Relegation

Posted by Music Critic on 26/4/2024, 13:05:54, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

I left early on Saturday stunned at the awfulness of what unfolded. I didn't boo or jeer. I left. If that makes me a shit supporter so be it but my conscience is clear

The players deserve a lot of slack. They have a ton of credit and bell end trolls like 'Bored in Flitwick' questioning their commitment is off-the-scale wrong, pathetic and stupid. Equally, the players will know they were shite and might have been as surprised as any to be applauded off the pitch by some. It was just (hopefully) a dreadful day at the office

But, perhaps, slack should apply for (most) fans too? The ones who will still be here long after this squad of players* has moved on. Like footballers, we are also human and have bad days and some of us react badly to disappointment at times. The same fans have stuck with the squad throughout - knowing what we're up against and how much harder the injuries have made an already tough task - and have never before reacted like that

Let's not turn this in to a fan vs fan thing

*which is honest, hard working and very likeable. Like most squads this past decade or so

It's not a fan v fan thing of course, and your message is excellent.

Re: Relegation

Posted by John Wilson on 26/4/2024, 13:08:56, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

Very fair points.

Personally I was shocked and felt pretty sick at what I saw.

We have cut the team a lot slack in recent weeks but Saturday was dreadful and I expect a significant reaction tomorrow.

Re: Relegation

Posted by John Wilson on 26/4/2024, 12:32:31, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

That isn’t true. The atmosphere built well and the BFJ song furthered that.

But same as Sheffield United, we froze and gave the ball away far too often.

The crowd spots that and reacts, not the other way round.

Most around me were shocked about display rather than negative.

Re: Relegation

Posted by crumpsall on 26/4/2024, 13:03:06, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

It's definitely the case from where I sit (DPS) John. Got going sporadically but not the intensity we can and do sometimes build. I know their first goal was a bit of a killer - and we didn't play well at all from the off, but the team really need (and have earned) the best we can do right now

Re: Relegation

Totally agree but the fans have been brilliant for the most part too and have, maybe, needed and earned a bit of a moan and a strop. And deserve the absolute best the players can do too. Saturday was a country mile from that. We know what they're capable of. That's why Saturday left many of us totally stunned and bemused

Re: Relegation

Posted by Since 82 on 26/4/2024, 11:59:45, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

Not sure what level of defiant spirit would have helped turn things around at 5-1 down.

I think we have actually been too forgiving of bad performances. Plenty of times in past supporting Luton we would not have been clapping them off last week. Sometimes sports people need a kick up the arse- not more happy clapping.

Never booed and never will- but the level of we are happy to be here last week was shocking.

Re: Relegation

Posted by crumpsall on 26/4/2024, 12:10:12, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

Everything you post is negative so no surprise you say that.

What you fail to grasp is that 'defiant spirit' means never giving up. If we were the sort to give up we'd have folded years ago. And who expressed that spirit? Supporters. Some of whom went on to form 2020.

So when the team struggle - and Saturday was awful - let's get behind them. Not walk out.

If you don't understand that, you're probably someone who did.

Re: Relegation

Posted by Denzil on 26/4/2024, 12:17:47, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

I do agree with you but I know some people find a defeat like last week truly painful to watch and leave ready for the next mental challenge.
I looked at our team last week and convinced myself we were going to get something from the game felt totally deflated for the next few days.

"I know some people find a defeat like last week truly painful to watch "

Good lord! It's a football match not the bereavement of a loved one. Obviously we all get pissed off with bad performances but let's not pretend we get mental health problems watching us.

What an unpleasant and unreasonable response to Denzil's words - why on earth you would 'go there' to him saying 'truly painful to watch' is beyond belief!

Posted by MG on 26/4/2024, 11:21:00, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

Yes spot on!

It doesn't look good, and we aren't exactly favourites to stay up but at the end of a season anything can happen.

Even recently . . . beating the Baggies 3-2 with (I think) only one shot on target all game.

We need a win tomorrow , in as much as that then cranks it up a bit on Forest for Sunday.

Re: Relegation

Posted by Herts Hatter on 26/4/2024, 9:33:44, in reply to "Relegation"

Not inevitable at all. Depends on Forest as much as us. As to tactics... Bournemouth 2nd half and Sheffield United were wrong but as to the rest you have to take context into account. It is more individual mistakes that is the problem as well as half the squad missing

Re: Relegation

Posted by Andy Cappuccino on 26/4/2024, 9:49:26, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

Yep how can relegation be inevitable when we're only 2 points off safety?

We are 1 point of safety mate.

Re: Relegation

Posted by Hatters on 26/4/2024, 9:44:16, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

"It is more individual mistakes"

but does playing a shape defensively that depends heavily on your defender going one on one with the fwd mean that these mistakes are then magnified? Are there more forgiving systems and shapes we could have played?

Posted by Back to the Futcher on 26/4/2024, 9:41:33, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

I agree with Chopper, you can't just roll out the same tactics and formations game after game. There has to be an element of tweaking and fettling.

Re: Relegation

Posted by I think... on 26/4/2024, 13:27:27, in reply to "Re: Relegation"

... there is more than enough "tweaking" being done by the sad acts on here who are delighting in our possible (maybe even probable, but certainly not inevitable) relegation just so that they can say they told us so.

Fair point, he's had so many fucking options recently - for example which full-back to play at centre-half and which one to play on his unnatural side.
