Need Brown not to be a twat tomorrow and start Corr, he is so vital to us.

If we get a point, I'll still be satisfied. 1 point behind Wycombe with 6 points to play for.

Any Bury fan would've glad fully taken that 15 games ago

I'll be satisfied with that too as we'll be pretty much promoted if its a draw, albeit not mathematically.

From a purely selfish perspective my preference would be Southend followed by Wycombe and then Bury. Purely for travelling purposes as I live in Essex!

Want there to be a winner, can't be bothered to travel to Bury in the play offs should we make it. Rather Wycombe/Southend

Yup, from a purely selfish perspective the ideal outcome is a Bury win. Damage Southend's confidence/motivation for next Saturday to give us a fighting chance to make the play-offs and then if we get there face Wycombe or Southend rather than yet another long trip to Bury (we'd probably lose to all three even if we make it so I'd rather a short trip).

And of course if we don't make the play-offs I'd rather Bury go up and Plymouth win the play-offs just so we have the short away trips next season.

From a non-selfish perspective, it would be nice to see Wycombe go up to prove what can be done on a small budget (even if they have been accused of anti-football quite a lot). They've been up there all season so it would be very harsh for them to miss out right at the death. Generally teams that just miss out on automatics get turned over in the play-offs too.

If you can score against Dan Bentley at home I'll be impressed

Having thought about the game all day I think 0-0 is very likely. Both teams absolutely terrified of each other

We can't score against anyone away so I think it's pretty unlikely we'll be the ones to end your run. Although we only need a point to be in with a good shout of scraping in to the play-offs on the final day so I'd take a 0-0!

Will it though? I've been thinking about this. As long as Bury avoid defeat tomorrow, I'm still confident about going up automatically, given the small squad crisis Wycombe are having at the moment (injuries, suspensions and players playing out of position).
Yes if you draw and we win our last 2 games we'll be promoted.

I think Northampton last game is going to be very difficult. They are a different side with they have a fully fit Holes and Richards

I fancy us to at least take a point against them. Although we will likely be 100% out of the playoff race then I think Wilder will set us up to attack. We have only failed to score twice at home all season and the game we had at Wycombe ended on a sour note, think the players will remember that.

Get there before 7:30pm and you should be fine. This weather might now make it a sell out but I doubt it. 8,000 at most for me. Away fans are tucked up in part of the main stand which holds between 800-1000 I think...

Really no idea how many to expect. I'd be disappointed by 6,000 but it'd still feel ace, though I think the onus tonight is to practically sell the place out as a statement of intent. I take it that section in the main stand is the same one FC United used to shoehorn fans into ie. the third of the stand on the Cemetery side?

:sb:Well, 1 hour and 45 mins until kickoff. May the best team win or draw. Just gotta hope we don't lose and take it to the next game v Wimbledon.

At least I'm nervous for the right reasons and not because we're fighting to stay in this league. Let's hope we have a good clean fight

Unlike some of the other Luton fans can't think which result is best for Luton. I actually think if Southend can grab a win we might have a better chance, as they will really come at us as a must win and leave space - where if they feel dead and have missed autos in reality they won't be so bothered and less space with us not having the nous to break them down.

At least Shrimpy's long lonely drive to Manchester and back is worth it for him.
