Luton have City and we have Liverpool next week. After that, we both play Fulham, Wolves and West Ham. If we match them in those fixtures, then we will be OK. We also have a game in hand at home to Newcastle.

But i do catch your meaning. we can be shyte, so long as Luton are too. Trouble is, anybody got any notions on the motivations of the opposition teams ? hungry or wearing flip-flops & hungover ?

Luton are good at home, and they have Brentford, Everton, Fulham at home. That's easily 4-6 points. Away they have Wolves and West Ham, could be 1-3 points there. So I'd put them at 5-9 points from their remaining matches, which means 30-34. We have Liverpool, Fulham, Wolves away. I'd say 1 point from those. And West Ham, Newcastle, ManU, Villa at home. I'd say 1-3 points from those, giving us 2-4 points, which means 32-34. So Luton will be on 30-34 points, and we'll be on 32-34. Luton will likely have a better GD than us by the end, it's going to be very close. We could easily blow this and go down. We've done it before, and literally everything has gone wrong for us this season already, with no end in sight. Edited by Wilbraham413 (07 Apr 2024 3.46am) 2017 Feb.

That’s what it’s come to I’m afraid, it’s called a relegation battle It’s amazing though, that no matter how poor we’ve been this season, all our problems, injuries, conceding late goals, not defending set pieces, our usual lack of goals, not scoring from corners…..we’re still where we are with a bit of a cushion from the drop zone. It just shows how bad some of the teams are down there. Obviously points deductions could help us as well if Luton do go on a bit of a run, but we’re still pretty lucky to be where we are.

I read somewhere that since we came back up 41 points is the lowest figure we have achieved over a season. It looks unlikely we’ll match that this season. This season we’ve gone backwards with not many wins and no outstanding candidate for player of the season. On paper Luton have an easier run in than us and it would not surprise me if they gain another 9 points. They have an identity, plenty of spirit and can score goals. We may need another 5 or 6 points to be clear which may not sound too onerous over 7 games. However, we’ve really struggled to win games this season and it wouldn’t surprise me if there were more draws than wins in the 7 games. Next games for us are Liverpool away, West Ham and Newcastle at home. Not easy and you could easily see them yielding no more than a couple of points. Then it gets nervous….

Luton have made a real fist of their stay in the PL and I suspect surprised many who thought they would be the 'Whipping boys'.They play with real spirit, verve,vim and vigour. I believe they signed 16 players since being promoted and their recruitment is worthy of praise.Mick Harford is their 'Chief Recruitment Officer'. Credit to Rob Edwards and his staff and all involved at the club. I suspect many supporters would like them to survive this season. Luton's remaining fixtures in order : Man C - Away Brentford - Home Wolves - Away Everton - Home W.Ham - Away Fulham - Home. Edited by Willo (07 Apr 2024 10.13am)

With Olise back we will get the points we need to stay in the safety zone . Good luck to Luton but if they do survive it won't be at our expense

I can see where you're coming from, but there's no guarantee Olise won't break down again? His record doesn't inspire confidence. People assumed Guehi would only be out a few weeks but in the pre match interview yesterday he was no further able to give a return date and gave a vague hope to be back for the last few games, suggesting he was looking at the longer term rather than short term. All season we seem to be complacent about everything being rosy when we can field our best players. In reality it never happens. We're running out of time with 7 games remaining. We can't hold a lead having scored first in nearly all the recent games. If we were 1 up against say West Ham or Newcastle with 5 mins remaining I wouldn't feel confident about not conceding an equaliser. Furthermore, we rarely go 2 ahead in a game to give us breathing space. Originally posted by Elpis With Olise back we will get the points we need to stay in the safety zone .

I do think that we are in serious trouble and I hope that the players and manager know that. My main concern with Glasner was that he has never experienced a relegation battle. He quickly needs to realise that sticking to systems is for another day. Right now, we need to get results by all and any means. Experienced managers know this. Does Glasner ? We could stay up with 6 draws.

Unfortunately that is the reality of this season. We are paying the price for a succession of transfer windows where we haven't done enough business allied with a number of injuries to our better players. As we are under financial restrictions I suspect we will need to sell end of season for a proper recruitment summer. On the plus the new manager may be able to pick up some decent signings based on his knowledge within the game. Priority though is now to get the required points this season to ease any worries. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld
