lake district canary 4,547 Posted December 26, 2022 Crunch time coming up tonight - and shame to say it is the first time this season I've been really interested in matches. I want us to win today and Deano save his job and our season over the next few matches, but if he doesn't something will have to happen, given the way fans feel - so actually, win or lose, it's a big match given the two home matches coming up. Interesting times, I'm up for this one......are you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want him replaced but I'd rather we didn't lose. Above all I want us to play with flair which will hopefully be the start of something to enjoy instead of the almost unremitting dross of the season so far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Buh 3,482 Posted December 26, 2022 I imagine it’ll be more of the same as we’ve seen in the last few matches but the players will be overweight from Christmas dinner. but the stats will be lovely and prove we were the “better team”, I’m sure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldy09 160 Posted December 26, 2022 I do believe after Smiths criticism of fans - fans will feel for smith and cheer him and clap - only if we lose and play poorly then there may be a few boos . Could it be his last days if we lose again I believe not- webber will continue with him until its too late to do anything about the situation- though we will have to see what develops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe in a parallel universe but that won't be the ' narrative ' tonight if 1200 of us have spent 90 mins shivering in the delight that is Kenilworth Rd.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) I thought the crunch was Blackburn but he has been given a lifeline by the exec. If we play really well but lose to a better team tonight I can accept it. But if sends out Sinani rather than Nunez tonight, I will question his ability to coach this team. He owes everyone a good performance with the best players available and we must have it tonight. Edited December 26, 2022 by keelansgrandad 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,760 Posted December 26, 2022 Away fans have generally been great this season and got behind the team far better than our home crowd. Even Swansea, which I didn't go to, sounded loud and you could hear them well into a game we'd been second best in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,303 Posted December 26, 2022 Mucho respecto to those hardy souls travelling to "rootin' tootin' luton".....I with man-flu shall be watching the game from the comfort of my recliner.....I'm hoping for a win but can see us coming away with nothing.....I think the travelling hardy souls will let the board and Dean and Co know what their true feelings are, if we do fail to get something from tonight's game....

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 26, 2022 Are not the away fans that make the noise likely to be a big part of the noisey fans at home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,283 Posted December 26, 2022 Anything otherthan a win will be unacceptable, even a win if it's another Swansea style performance. If we happen to win 3 league games on the bounce maybe I might change my opinion of Smith, but I just want him gone so we can move on. I expect us to win tonight as Luton are a very different animal having lost Nathan Jones. If we can't beat them, then there really is no hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As someone who's been home and away, and who's home season ticket is lower barclay, I'd suggest if they're one and the same they don't really bother as much at home. Not this season anyway.
