Gunning

I actually liked the tackle.

Quoted from Tommy

I'm probably in the minority here but I'm not that bothered about this Gunning foul on Saturday and definitely don't think it's any more than a yellow card.

Is it that dangerous? Not for me. Just a cynical foul with a bit of force without what i'd class as excessive force.

I actually wish we'd commit a few more cynical fouls as we are far too "nice" as a team and have been for years. When a team are counter-attacking against us and it looks like we could be in serious trouble, someone should be committing a foul around the half way line before it gets to that stage. And manage the game to play out time when we're defending a slim lead (take our time, get the physio on, buy free kicks by inviting contact/fouls).

Childish petulance, we were 5-0 down

Hope he scores a 20 yarder tonight and celebrates by barging a steward.

I always thought from his interviews he was quite a 'gunning linguist'

Or possible something like that player who scored for Coleville on Saturday and nicked a big gulp of a fans pint during the goal celebration.....  

So from nowhere, the perceived wisdom is that Gunning is a liability after a couple of games? Christ, the overreaction on this site never ceases to amaze me. Since we got spanked on Saturday, i have seen just about every player on and off the pitch, plus the manager, vilified in one form or another. The system is wrong, the shape is wrong, the attitude is wrong, the manager has lost the dressing room etc etc. The answer to all this lies in any other formation and combination of players you could possibly imagine, even players that are not in the match day squad and some that are no longer even here. So..................

Macca in goal, we have no one else.

Mills right back because Davies is too old and "his legs have gone".

Pearson and Collins centre backs because as a three we are too slow and Gunning is a liability, or stick to a three and replace Gunning with Boyce, who is ace.

Andrew left back despite him having a poor first half and being substituted, yet no blame attached to him.

Midfield has to include Dizza because we can't possibly lose with him in the side.

Osborne a must because he hasn't upset anyone yet.

We need some width, so Tombola on the right who will run around a lot, very fast, but no end product. Or we could force Nuneaton to give us Chambers back because he can "do a job" there.

On the left we could play either of our injured lefties, Vose or Berrett. I'm sure each could play 45 mins with morphine shots before they go on.

Up front, doesn't matter as none of them look like scoring.

Subs- Any other players you think merit a game for no other reason than they have to be better than what we've tried so far.

Manager- Give Mickey Moore a go for a game and see what happens. If we win, he gets to keep the job and MB becomes assistant until he learns his lesson.

Sorted, 5-0 win to us.

is it 3 games he has had now ?  ......................Rob Jones looked like Bambi on ice for his entire first season.......


just saying

In which case Ginny, may I suggest you look on other sites.  A fairly similar one to ours would be the Luton equivalent  of the fishy (Luton Outlaws), but I'm sure pretty much any of the unofficial sites of the 90 odd league clubs would suffice. Depending on the size and support of the club, but in terms of variation of opinions it will be pretty much the same as this site.  Some would quite happily hang their manager/players etc etc whilst others would quite happily let them sh@g their wife.  I understand that sometimes it's hard to understand why someones opinion may differ so drastically to our own, but honestly, it's not a 'fishy' thing. It's not a 'Grimsby Town' exclusive. It's just a fact that football brings out emotions in us (in EVERY club) that in normal circumstances we would control better.  It would be a pretty boring forum otherwise.   As I am sure EVERYONE will agree

Luton Outlaws is actually one of the worst forums in the country so you played yourself there!

Nearly... but Disley needs to be like Schrödinger's Midfielder, both there and not there at the same time, because dont forget whilst he cant be possibly out the team his legs have apparently also "gone"
