Pre Luton press conference

No, I don't believe you would do that.
But if anyone asked that question and then followed it up to check he had answered honestly, it would certainly look that way.
Which is why I think it strange you want others to do it on your behalf.

Well I don’t go to press conferences unfortunately, so I can’t really ask

It sounds like a few of the attacking unit (McGree, Ramsey, Forss) will all be missing Luton anyway, leaving Archer (who i’d personally have on the bench for this game only). Be interesting to see how he sets up anyway.

No point in taking any risks now. Anyone with a knock I wouldn't even take down there.

We can't catch second, we can't finish lower than 4th. 3rd or 4th we could play any of those below us.

Theoretically we could finish lower than 4th still?

Unlikely but still possible?

We need 1 point from 9 or for West Brom to drop points in 1 of their 4 matches.

Not mathematically done, but it's probably like a 95% chance that we'll finish 4th or above now.

Blackburn can also get more points than us.
10 points behind with 4 games left.

They'll be lucky to get 7, I reckon.

We could find out whether we have 4th secured already before we play, which is a benefit and might impact Carrick's selection.

Coluka’s question regarding potential injuries is definitely one I had considered this week, but at the same time, Luton could say the same about us.

It was actually something I was thinking before Hull.

We can also theoretically catch 2nd. But we won't.

I wouldn't be too worried about is having to rest players. Luton are definitely in top 4 so I don't see them playing a full strength team and going hard either. Could well be a nothing game.

If you’d used “Won’t” in the original post, as opposed to “can’t”, I’d have agreed with you.

I think some of the injuries are potentially big concerns - Fry, McGree and Ramsay in particular. Not sure we can count on them. Hopefully we have enough options in the play-off semi's and final. Obviously better for us if they are fit and available, playing well, but I guess injuries are part and parcel of the game.

Not sure it changes any of the message, but if it makes you feel better
