* The Original Unofficial "Official" Boro v Luton Match-Day Thread *

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Well played lads, not bad for a second string team!

We played some lovely football there but the commentators don’t seem that bothered.

Need a second straight after the break.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

The Saturday semi final suits me better than the Sunday one so this is going swimmingly so far.

According to the mackem board:

"
I ask this a lot when watching teams above us, but how the **** are they above us? Awful football



Bit they don’t care
"

 

[TeaCider]

Played alright there.

Happy with the scoreline.

Bola has been shaky, but bar that it's largely been good.

 

[Philly-Red]

Oh I don’t like this.

Didn’t we beat Norwich twice the season we beat them in the final?

Sorry, just saying. With my usual Boro fan glasses on.

This is our reserve team though.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Other than Bola we are passing it around wonderfully - and all without Chuba too!

Bola looks like a kid whose team has loaned him to the opposition because they are a man short.

Crooks is finding loads of space because they're like headless chickens just chasing down the man on the ball.

If we play luton in the final and Akpom can find the same amount of space then we could really hurt them.

 

[Huddboro]

Even if we go on to lose this game we’ve shown we’re far better than them. Akpom will have a field day putting archer in behind their defence. Barlaser has been excellent as has crooks.

 

[ForssAwakens]

It’s 45 minutes, but if I was a Luton fan that’s the type of performance that can zap the confidence out of a side

 

[Paulh10]

Archer to good for the championship.

 

[Brick_Tamland]

Cameron Archer reminds of Michael Owen. He likes to get the first touch with the outside of the boot to take him away from the defender and some of his finishes this season have been similar.

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

Basically we have been wonderful. Everyone excelling other obvious ring rust from bola along with him playing in a position he isn’t used to playing in.
Bola, given that context has done fine but it’s a joy to watch us….I just pray we keep playing and being brave….

 

[Chappy112]

Seen enough there to know we are miles better than them still, even with that many changes. If we don't go up then it's on nobody but ourselves, clearly the best team in the playoffs.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Everyone is playing well

Agreed

 

[uncle_rico]

The co-commentator is a former Luton player and they're the home team, I think it's unsurprising.

Who was the co-commentator when we played Norwich and Hull? If it was an ex Boro player then fair play. Genuine question as I don’t know as was at the games.

When we played the mackems at the SOL they had a current Sunderland player co-commentating.

Reminds me of Jermaine Defoe in his upcoming days

 

[Smogonsea]

That will do. Apart from Bola being very sloppy I think everyone else has been good. 3 players hitting double figures in the season is unbelievable for us.

 

[Yearbyred]

Started and ended the half really well. Bit sloppy in the middle of the half but so far Luton have huffed and puffed but offered little threat.

Some lovely football and enjoying watching Mowatt and Barlaser in the middle. Only Bola (playing a different role) looking uncomfortable.
