Farke has consistently said that Meslier is the best goalkeeper in the Championship Which seriously poses questions about Farke's judgement, as Meslier is one of, if not the worst goalie in the Championship.
His post match interview was laughable & incoherent.
I wonder if Farke will still be saying Meslier is the best keeper in the championship, after his No.1 has cost him his lucrative LUFC job.

If we are not promoted, hopefully it will be a case of getting rid of many of these bottlers.
With that clown Farke first out the door. If we go up (which I still think we will) he keeps his job and we're pretty much relegated again before he's sacked.
People like to keep count of how many points Mes has cost us, but Farke's been the biggest culprit, with his shocking team selections, lack of substitutions and tactical ineptitude.
Darlow and Gnonto must start the Luton game, unfortunately it looks like there's too much rust on Largie or he'd be in too.

We've had similar situations when our coaches have continually backed Bamford to the hilt, and they're no longer our coaches, but Bamford is still lurking around picking up a wage.
Regarding the Gk position Farke won’t know whether to stick or twist.If I was him I would twist and cross everything that Darrow doesnot c**k up. On the plus side the Bookies still have us as favourites to finish top.Lets hope they are correct.

Exactly mate
I don't see us getting promoted though. If we do then they will pull the trigger on Farke after ten matches as the results and performances will dictate that.
For the last couple of weeks coming on here I was greeted with a picture of Farke thumping his chest
and the caption "Win last Four Home games promotion guaranteed" After yesterdays display i think that thumping
his chest was probably Indigestion, it certainly gave me it .
I can't honestly se them winning the three left maybe one. Where has that sparkling, fluent football gone that they produced earlier
in the season
I think that three, maybe four players will be taken by other clubs and if we do happen to get into the Premier
League then although it will be probably financially beneficial there also be lots of humiliation scorewise.
Finally I have said this before that there seemed to be some animosity among certain players last season
and it looks like the same again this season. Deja Vu.

How does Mateo Joseph not control that throw-in instead of letting it deflect off his leg as the perfect through ball for Swansea. I struggle to understand what contribution he makes.
What a shambles!
Would you say he one of the worst we've brought through the Academy?

Always thought he was overrated by our fan base, obviously our management fell for it too, maybe being tight with their finances as they knew purchasing a new No.9 would cost them a fortune.
Apart from Meslier, Joseph is a huge disappointment of the season, both have probably cost us promotion.

We need to put that down to the break and move on. Lets get the Luton pre match thread up and look forward.
Agreed.
Nothing we can do about it, let's talk about what we need to do to beat Luton

Luton are very poor. Fluked 1 against Dull by the looks.
Cant not be winning that. Oh hang on that was the case v Swans
Six reasons why we could bottle the Luton game
38 miles from London.
12.30 kick-off.
Tight stadium.
Luton in a bit of form & fighting to remain in the championship.
Too many of our players unfit & out of form.
Also, all of them capable of making the craziest of errors.
Was at the game yesterday and similar to the fixture down in Wales earlier in the season it was a very good performance by Swansea and a thrilling climax to the match. Unfortunately this time when conceding a stoppage time equaliser our heads went down and even though there was only seconds remaining our players accepted their fate which didn't happen in the first game. Keep fighting and play to the end used to be our motto but we had nothing left to give and couldn't even get one last attack going.
All that said our response to conceding the first equaliser was excellent as we forced Swansea back and had the kind of territorial advantage we usually have in home games but was sadly lacking for most of yesterday. So when Gnonto scored it had been coming and was thoroughly deserved. Inevitably Swansea went straight on the front foot and with no subs remaining we weren't able to bring on that extra defensive midfielder that could have made the difference and enabled us to see the game out.
My conclusion was that the lads absolutely gave their all and at the end of the day that's all we can ask. If ultimately it proves we're not good enough for automatic promotion then we get behind the manager and all the players to give the play offs one hell of a go.
However with 7 games to go and currently occupying 2nd place there's absolutely no need to panic. Plenty of us have said all along that this season could go to the final game and if we end up going down to Plymouth needing 3 points on the final day then the lads will have the perfect opportunity to prove all the doubters wrong.

Were you following this club when the last 10 or so games of last season unfolded ?
Most of the players who underperformed in those last league games plus the playoff final are massively underperforming again,and at exactly the same stage of the season
.
Farke could have hedged against this risk through bringing in one or two players in January and rotating his squad - however he has chosen to do exactly what he did during the collapse of last season. Very likely these decisions will cost him his job before very long

Have been an avid supporter since the early 70's so I've seen plenty of times when we've not been able to get the job done. However there have also been some memorable successes as well so let's hope this season turns out to be one of those.
One thing for sure is that fans adding to the pressure won't be any help whatsoever but hey the players and manager will just have to deal with that as it goes with the territory.
Which seriously poses questions about Farke's judgement, as Meslier is one of, if not the worst goalie in the Championship.
