FT: Luton 1-1 Plymouth

Best possible result for us.

Plymouth had to do a lot of defending in the last 15 minutes, that'll take a lot out of them ahead of Saturday.

They'll also be knackered after tonight for a lunchtime Saturday game so will have far lower energy levels than usual.

Great result for us tonight, hopefully Riza will pick the right team saturday, Salech upfront for me deffo, he can hold the ball up and knows where the back of the net is, cant see Riza going for Salech and Robinson though he will see this as a not to lose game, please Riza go for the juggler for once and go on the front foot from the start.

Absolutely no reason why we can’t win on Saturday

Plymouth are pretty dire and we are better than them

Can’t believe they actually beat Liverpool..how did that happen??

Plenty of time to recover, they’ll be fine.

Assume they'll travel back to Plymouth tonight, first training session tomorrow (which most players won't be able to take part in because they had a game the night before) and a final training session on Friday.

That's not plenty of time, it's only one real training session.

So our fitness levels and tactics should be in a much better state than their's.

Why would they need to do any significant training when they’re playing matches? They had 3 days after beating Liverpool and then stuck 5 on millwall.

Of course they have to train, they'll have a different game plan for every opponent and how you action that game plan can only be tested in training.

They had a three day gap after beating Liverpool but the next game was at home and in the evening. So no travelling back and a later kick off time. These things all matter.

On the other hand, we won't have played a game for exactly a week.

Madness how anyone can argue we don't have an advantage on that.

I swear some people think football players do nothing all week and then rock up on a Saturday :lol:

I didn’t say they wouldn’t train, I said significant training meaning intensive sessions. You have no idea what team they will play or how their players will be feeling, you’re just reaching. I’ll overlook your condescending tone, let’s see how it unfolds.

Re: Luton v Plymouth

The Town had to settle for a point as they were held at home to fellow strugglers Plymouth.

Jacob Brown headed the Hatters in front just 40 seconds after being introduced as a second-half substitute but Argyle levelled 15 minutes later.

The Town pushed late for a winner but could not find the finishing touch and the points were shared at Kenilworth Road.

After the positive display against Sheffield United on Saturday, the Town began with one change to the side that ran the Blades close.

Norwegian striker Lasse Nordås made his full debut in attack replacing Carlton Morris who missed the game through illness.

And Nordås had a great chance to open his account after just three minutes when he headed over Alfie Doughty’s cross from close range.

Both sides cancelled each other out in a cagey first period but the Town were fortunate not to fall behind on 33 minutes when Callum Wright’s finish was incorrectly ruled out for offside having sped clear.

Back came the Hatters and Nordås tested Argyle goalkeeper Conor Hazard with an instinctive shot from close range – even though the flag of the linesman was raised.

Nordås was enjoying himself and the transfer window arrival sent an ambitious volley wide of the target having taken Kal Naismith’s raking diagonal pass forward just before half-time.

Just 90 seconds after the break the Hatters came close to breaking the deadlock when Elijah Adebayo pounced on a loose ball in the box to volley over from six yards.

That was Adebayo’s last chance before he made way for Brown and within seconds of his introduction he put the Town ahead. Doughty’s ball into the box was knocked down by Nordås into the path of Brown and the substitute bravely diverted the ball home with his first touch.

It was the Town’s first goal at Kenilworth Road after four barren matches – an unwanted club record – but the lead would only last 15 minutes.

With Mark McGuinness waiting off the pitch having received treatment, a long ball from the left into the Hatters box found Talovierov at the back post and he nodded past Kaminski with 20 minutes to play.

The Town responded well and came close to restoring the lead just two minutes later only for Brown to head Doughty’s teasing cross into the arms of Hazard from close range with the goal at his mercy.

Half-chances came and went as the Hatters pushed for a late winner but while eight additional minutes signalled a grandstand finish, no goal would come and both sides had to be content with a point and the Town's wait for a win goes on.

The game ended 1-1 after The Pilgrims equalised in the 70th minutes

That’s a good result from our point of view, as it keeps both sides 3 and 4 points behind us and both with poorer goal differences

Saturday’s game for us at Plymouth’s Home Park is another massive game for us and one where simply cannot afford to lose; and where even a point would not be a huge help at this point

Yes of course it will have a big impact, as well as being tired a few have injuries, it's nice that something is falling in our favour for a change.

If we dont beat these Saturday, regardless of home and away forms, then we have earned the right to be in the mix for L1.

Being fearfull of Plymouth Argyle is a horrible sign of the times.

We should have the mindset of running all over these!

Re: Luton v Plymouth

Thu Feb 20, 2025 11:00 am

Anything less than a win for us will be a disaster. We will be fresh and should be out of the blocks from the first minute.none of this treating the opposition as if they are real Madrid and just trying to get a point
