Rampant Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Tuesday 28th January.....KO 1945.....Kenilworth Road Championship Well we're not exactly rampant but we remain unbeaten since 21st December 2019. Not sure how but I'm certain we'll accept it. Tonight's riveting 0-0 at Northampton makes it seven matches in league and cup without that sinking feeling. Next up it's Luton Town..... Recent form: Derby: unbeaten in seven including, remarkably, four away. Only reasonable perhaps to remind ourselves that of the four away matches only the performance at Palace was of a decent standard. The Rams are harder to beat at least than in earlier road trips. Luton: abysmal tbf. No wins in seven league matches (one draw and six losses) and defeated in each of the last four Championship games, most recently 1-3 at Forest. The last time our hosts tasted victory was a 2-1 home win against Wigan in early December. The last time the Hatters kept a clean sheet was mid-October and their recent run of goals conceded in matches reads (most recent first) 3-2-4-3-3-3-1-2-3-1-7-1-2-3-2 I think it's fair to say our goalscoring impotence will be tested on Tuesday night. Positions: 24th v 16th Luton overall league record: W6 D3 L19 F34 A61 Luton Home: W4 D3 L6 F20 A22 Derby Away: W1 D5 L7 F10 A25 Current top scorers for LTFC are Collins (9) and Cornick (7). Common denominators include Steve Howard, Mick Harford, Mark Pembridge and Jacob Butterfield who I'm sure will be grateful for the love of the travelling Rams fans. Luton squad: Reputedly of interest to us in the summer, Croatian keeper Simon Sluga will be keen to make up for his howler at PP in our 2-0 win. Other players of note include Elliott Lee (son of one-time Ram, Robert), the tricky Callum McManaman and the other Shinniesta, Graeme's older bruv Andrew. Rams Predicted Starting XI: I've not been close with my line up predictions but I'll persevere. This weeks effort is: Hamer / Bogle / Wisdom / Clarke / Lowe / Bird / Rooney / Knight / Holmes / Lawrence / Waghorn (Roos / Davies / Huddlestone / Shinnie / Whittaker / Martin / Marriott) Can the Rams make it an unbeaten January 2020? Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go. I think Cocu will play Tom Huddlestone instead of Bird, harsh but Cocu likes how Tom keeps the ball, for me Bird is the man, but I like Cocu, so I will back Cocu, and I hope we get the win, 1-0, Rooney has to score soon.

Millenniumram Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Really important game this for me, given our away form this season. Luton are a rank rank awful side, we really should be able to beat these without too much problem, even away from home. If we can’t then there really is a drastic issue with how we’re playing away from home. We simply have to take this opportunity to turn our away form around and gain a little bit of confidence. We need to stop being so scared, and play the game we play at home, away from home. This means we need to not start lumping it like last night, but continue with the patient possession style playing out the back, as well as backing it up with energy and desire up front to press, which we haven’t seen enough of this season away from home. Izzy Brown seems to be their main threat, so we need to make sure our fullbacks are well on their game (play Lowe and Bogle basically), and as usual we don’t want to let too many crosses in the box, particulary with Wisdom at centre back. Team for me should be unchanged from the Hull win, that setup seemed to work nicely so let’s try and keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Be nice to get an away win. Luton aren't very good. Last night was rubbish, so the team need to give a reaction. For all these reasons, I expect a 1-0 defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edtheram Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 This will be a real test if we leave Luton with a 0-0 draw and no shots on target I’ll be more annoyed than tonight. We need to start creating an scoring goals, it’s becoming a worry how had we find it to score goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Great detail in the set up @Rampant thread was that quiet I didn’t know it had been started till now. Two midweek games which if and it’s a big IF we take six points we’ll really be sniffing Play Offs. Don’t laugh it’s true. Luton have been poor but that’s not to say they won’t start playing decent football and get results as they obviously want to retain their Championship status. SSA!

Alph Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I've got a feeling we might score and then score again. I think it could be a 2-0 thriller with a handful of shots. Strap in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
