ender4 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Could we possibly do 12 PL home wins in a row? This one is tricky because its 3 days after playing a strong team in the Netherlands. Luton will also just be playing for a 0-0 and hoping to fluke a lucky goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It would be pretty odd if we didn't win this. And sorry, that's not meaning to sound arrogant, but from a stats perspective. We average just over 4 goals a game at home, and thats against an average team of about 9th 10th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I'd bring Carlos in for Torres and Tielemans in for McGinn for this one. I'd also play Bailey in Alkmaar and bring back Zaniolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Fill your boots lads. If we break them down early it could be 6 again. Could be unbearable to watch if it drags on but I just cant see that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon66 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Think we have to give them plenty of respect and stay humble. Our worst 2 home performances this season have been when we thought that we only needed to turn up.......don't think Unai will stand for a repeat of those behaviours..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Yep, we really are poor against teams we think we will easily beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 we need to be humble with this one i think, Luton havent been "that bad" this season. They arent shipping lots of goals most of the time or losing by cricket scores, they work very hard, are very physical and direct, and tbh in a fair few of their games they are only losing by the odd goal. Yes they lost their first game 4-1 versus Brighton, and second game 3-0 versus Chelsea, but the other games have been fairly tight, 1-2 loss versus West Ham, 0-1 loss to Fulham, 1-1 draw with Wolves, 1-2 loss to Everton, 1-2 loss to Burnley, 0-1 loss to Spurs, 2-2 draw with Forest. Their defence (conceded 17), isnt a million miles off reasonable compared to other teams this season, Brighton, West Ham, Wolves, Fulham are in a similar ball park of goals conceded +/- 2, although granted they are averaging just under 1 goal scored per game. If we dont respect this game we could easily have a banana skin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar a dodgy 10 minutes v Burnley after half time we pretty much cruised that and should've scored more than 3 goals. We will be o.k, Luton give endless space infront of their back 4 so fancy Diaby to score his first VP goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoyman Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Nervous for this one. Their fans hate us more than anything in the world and ever since we relegated them they've been waiting for nothing more than to get back here and get revenge. They'll be well up for it and if we're not on it from the first kick of the game we might- Ah hold on, I'm being advised that Coventry City in fact lost the playoff final on penalties, lmao owned Hopefully we can keep the winning run going here, would certainly take a more pragmatic, less spectacular win (like Forest at the end of last season) given the big week ahead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Should be battering them. We have traditionally struggled against newly promoted sides. About time we show no mercy and shatter their confidence. Crushing their soul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Giving this one a miss as would be rushing back from Rugby again and bloody ticket office won't resell adult returns at a child price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Another cup final free match thread. This is starting to get out of hands. Me and @TheAuthority need to start taking command soon. Also if we don't win this we know exactly who is to blame. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_Zooms Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I have a match ticket, so apologies in advance for blowing the twelve in a row against the weakest club in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Taking my 9 year old daughter to her first game at VP. My first game was against Luton aged 10 in 1991......We lost 1-2. Lower Grounds, the only way I could get 2 tickets together, cost an arm and a leg so hoping she eats well!
