First team to win on the plastic according to Open all R's
Back in the day when we first had our plastic pitch we could beat most teams but we always struggled against Luton. I can also rememember those days for the real animosity between the fans. Not sure why the fans hated each other so much but both home and away it used to kick off on the way to the grounds, outside and inside the grounds.
A lot will depend on who is fit to play and even then it will interesting if some of those guys returning from injury can last 90 minutes. We know that Mccallum is certainly out and with doubts over Dieng, Wallace, Odubajo, Field, Dykes and Gray it could be a make shift team. With so many games coming up in the next few weeks and then over the Christmas period I can't see either Wallace or Field being risked unless they are 100%. It just wouldn't make sense to risk them unless they are fully fit and even then it might only be as late subs.
Whilst Luton have done well in their travels this season with just 3 away defeats from 8 games I'm staying confident that we can get 3 points.

I understand your concerns regarding players coming back too soon, and as we have De Wijs perhaps unavailable(?), are we talking about having to revert to a Back 4?

In an ideal scenario Dieng misses out and Archer comes in and keeps a clean sheet. Dieng could do with a bit of competition to kick him on another gear; he maybe needs to feel like his place isn't as secure.
I reckon Wallace will start on the left, he didn't play for the under 23's this week so thinking he is being saved for this one. Hard team to pick with the injuries can see Dykes starting on the bench for this one
I believe that Warburton will go for the strongest team he can and if Dieng is fit then he will play him. The same applies to Wallace who providing the manager thinks he can last 70 minutes then he will start. The biggest choice for Warburton is the central midfield area where we now have 5 fit players. I think he starts with Dozzell and Johansen with Field and Amos getting a place on the bench. Ball has done very well so far but I think now we have a fit set of midfielders he will drop down the pecking order.
