0-1 Luton. Unless one of the new lads comes in & lights Oakwell up, I honestly can’t see where a goals coming from. Hope I’m proved wrong, but for all the huff and puff which doesn’t win you games, we look miles off up top.
I'm a bit worried about our striking options up front. I wonder if Cole is still suffering some effects of Covid, hence him not even being on the bench. We'll need to keep the ball on the deck more to get the right service into our front 3 if we have to go with Oduor, Woodrow & Frieser up front. A draw would not be a bad result IMO, maybe we can sneak a goal from a set piece? Not really sure 1-0 or 1-1 I'll go.
We'll need to play a lot better than we did on Saturday. Not sure who will replace Morris, I'd be tempted to bring in Benson and go 3-5-2 rather than Odour / Adeboyejo as a like for like change.
Just finished watching the game. A few pockets of quality, and a lot of time of trying to work out what we're doing. Early days, but a very good result. Kitching has a steep learning curve, but no different to when Mads first came in, but we do look flimsy down the left and I suspect most teams will target us there. I'd be inclined to move Styles there and give Benson his first start. Morris is going to be a huge loss though, I don't think it was cruciate as the physio carried on with tests after testing the ligament, so hopefully it's more an overstretch than a tear and a case of weeks rather than something much longer. I think we'll get a draw though. 1-1.
Left this late, as I was really trying hard to concoct a viable argument why we'll win, but it was to no avail. Not seen enough positives yet, and Luton seem on it from the off, so a thoroughly depressing 0-2 for me. I'm a right laugh, normally....
I'm expecting a close game we look solid enough in the 3 center back positions id swap ben williams for styles and bring benson into center midfield. its just scoring goals from open play that looks the worry for me. 0-0
Draw tonight, 1-1 or 2-2 I reckon, although if both teams play the same as they did for the last ten minutes on Saturday then we could be in a bit of trouble.
