As others have mentioned Luton's play was geared towards those two bombing forward to provide width. Think they will come out an attack us from the off. Which could play into our hands. Yeah, my Luton mate said that both players had been a key part in their promotion push. When I suggested that they should maybe have stayed at Luton and had Championship game time, he reckoned that both could possibly make the step up to PL level this season. I'd be surprised if that's the case, but he seemed to massively rate them. (He also said that very few Luton fans begrudge them moving on to PL clubs). If they are that good, then it will certainly be a big miss for Luton Town. I'm going to be in the home end with my mate, so I certainly don't want LTFC to be scoring too much!!

Between Justin and Stacey they had something like 30 goal involvments (scored or assisted)between them last season. Which for a pair of full-backs is ridiculously high. I was wanting to go to this but unfortunately couldn't get tickets. Should be a great game, and Luton missing those 2 players is a massive boost. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Woodgate seemed a bit annoyed during that press conference and was quite blunt with a couple of questions. On another note our Friday night record is rather impressive I cant remember the last time we lost on Friday (not counting Wolves that was technically an evening kick off ?).

Tom 2,492 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Randy and Friend possibly fit, Fry still out. My bet would be on Randolph to start, Friend to be on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites

BearSmog 1,382 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Will we see any outgoing or incoming transfers before Friday? I believe we will see at least one announced before kick off, most likely Dijksteel. How do YOU think we will line up? I think we will line up 433 with the starting line up consisting of the following.. Randolph Howson Ayala Friend Coulson Clayton Saville Wing Johnson Browne Assombalonga Subs: Mejias, Bola, Shotton, McNair, Tavernier, Fletcher, Spence Is Shotton a scape goat? I wouldn't call him a scape goat I just think, like Flint, he just doesn't currently have the ability to play the way we want him to play. Will any new signings play for the Boro? I've gone for Browne to start and Bola on the bench. Browne is pretty nailed on given the way he plays and Bola is being kept out of the team due to the form of Coulson pre-season. Can and will we win? There's no reason why we can't. I think we will scrape a 2-1 win with a Britt Assombalonga brace. Who has impressed the most in pre-season? You cant look past Coulson really, he has been a revelation. Also special mention for Pears who has also been pretty solid. Was it a penalty? Probably in the minority here but I'd say it was. Sloppy from Shotton. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's not far from our strongest possible 11 as it stands (not including potential new players). Fry for Friend and I'd prefer McNair to Saville and I think that would be our strongest team.

Unfortunately at the moment due to having no-one other than him and Browne who can play right wing, he is in our strongest team. Link to post Share on other sites
