Carlton Morris - In your head Gesture to Mowatt

If we don't get promoted, then I don't really care who goes up instead of us. But I would not mind it being Luton just for the fact that no one would have predicted it.

I don’t mind Luton at all and there is nothing wrong about playing to your strengths.

Let’s be honest until this season all of our recent successes have been based on defensive football.

I've said it elsewhere, Carrick has played a blinder here. Their players will know we were by far the better team on the day. A day where (fortunately) the result didnt matter. A rare thing in championship football. And they will also be fully aware that we were hugely under strength. Keeping Chuba back from the game but letting him study their defenders is priceless. We know a lot more about them, and they know very little more about us. Masterstroke from Carrick in his team selection and managing the whole psychology of the situation.

Even if we can get one or two key players back fit (Fry, Ramsey, and Forss maybe), I'm confident we can gain promotion.

Even if we get none of those players back, but we put Hackney and Chuba in, it hugely improves the side that played on Monday.

And that side were far better than Luton.
My Luton season ticket holding mate text me after the game and said he had to admit we were far better side and he was really impressed with the way we passed and had them chasing shadows at times. When I told him we only had 5 of our first choice starting 11 in the side, he said he felt like crying 😂

You mean the way many on here talked after our Bramall Lane win?

While thinking we'd practically made the autos after beating the Blades was well premature, there's a bit of a difference.

We beat the Blades at their place, comprehensively, dominating them all over the pitch.
Luton managed to steal a win only by cheating with their full-strength side v half of our reserves, at their place.
 
Not important. I hope they are thinking they have the upper hand if we get to play them in the playoffs. Matt Crooks is no Chuba Akpom - so let's leave it there.

I didn’t see anyone saying we had made the autos after that win, not one person
 
Given that cheating chunt Morris manufacturing his ‘contact’ I’ve only just realised we’ll have VAR in the playoffs.
What a terrible indictment to VAR that I’m not sure whether VAR is a good thing or not.
And would VAR have got involved in Morris and his cheating ?
I’m not convinced they would’ve which is disgraceful considering it was supposed to really improve the game
 
When we played Norwich in the play off final defeat we won 0-1.

We deployed our dark arts tactics and at full time we celebrated like we won the World Cup.

After the play off final the Norwich fans never at all believed that we would lose the play off final.

I have a similar vibe about Luton, who have had a fantastic season but if we get out big hitters back, we will win a canter.
 
The lad is a cheat and any delusions of him even being a half decent player evaporated in that moment (the penalty).

Rob Edwards deserves massive credit tho as he's taken a team of lower league rejects and turned them into a half decent side. One misstep though and they'll be back in conference quick time.
