Our attack looks a bit muddled on paper.
Hard to say if Hernandez is a lone striker, or Sainz is up top with him. There has been a lot of games recently, so understandable Crnac gets a rest. Telling that Barnes didn't get the shout though...

Harsh on Schwartau, but think Marcondes has to be a starter currently.

Hope Sainz can focus on creating for the team today, ahead of a likely ban.

I have rather felt that Sainzs mind has been elsewhere recently. Not helping with all the transfer rumors and now he knows that he will probably be banned for four or more games soon on top of that. Hope he plays well today but rather fear he's not really in it for us anymore

In the recent match threads on the Pinkun I've been giving a mention to bands and musicians from the town/city we are playing against.
Now L*t*n is a complete tip and the only musician of note I can find from there is Paul Young, although Pete Frame, who is a music journalist, is also from there. He's done the excellent Rock Family Trees which are well worth a look at.
You forget the legend that was Buddy Holly, and

'Hatter'll be the Day'

With another game on Saturday it’s a balancing act to keep players reasonably fresh.Glad Marcondes is starting.

Has anyone seen it confirmed exactly what he is supposed to have done?

Spitting on a player it would seem, which if that is true then yeah I mean I would say that in that case a ban is fully deserved and I can't defend it. If he had done that to someone outside of football he could very well have been arrested for assault under our UK laws and all.

Hernandez as the lone striker worries me greatly.

But then again, what choice do we have?

I think it shows the decision to go with just one out-and-out striker in the squad for the first half of the season was a poor one, and it isn't exactly using the benefit of hindsight.

Hopefully I've talked this up and Onel scores now...

I mean last time he came on he turned the game around, almost scored then got an assist. If not for him we would have lost! Then again that does rather cement his status as a super sub I suppose.. Never has been that fantastic when starting I will confess even as he number one fan

Exactly, he's best as an impact sub when he's fresh against a tired full back whilst playing on the wing.

Hoff said yesterday that he picks the team to deal with the opposition - hence the team selection

As luton can be quite a 'rumbustuous' side :oops:

Bit average now. Luton getting on top, which is annoying as we should be in front.
