What's the best scenario from an Irish perspective in terms of the relegation battle this year? It seems like pretty much every team down there has an Irish player involved.
Assuming Sheffield United and Burnley are as good as gone who would be want in the last relegation position? Everton because Coleman probably won't be kept on in the Premier League anyway, but might be kept if they get relegated (would be sad on a personal level for Coleman to see Everton finally relegated though)? Luton because we'd maybe fancy Ogbene to get a move if they go down? Presumably not Forest (Omobamidele) or Brentford (Collins). Don't think Bournemouth will be dragged into it unfortunately, though they're not going well.

Ok, I'm not a mathematician, but...

A nice finish at full stretch to put Luton up 2-0 against Bournemouth. Ogbene is our best player this season, and by a wide margin. Forget him trying to get a contract with another struggling team if Luton go down, I don't think he'd look out of place playing for a top half team. He's great to watch on the right wing for Luton.
Can see Brentford making a move for him as he suits how they switch between 433 and 352.
Luton are one flakey team !
Will miss the next few weeks with a hamstring injury.
I'd say his club are loving that international window right about now...
Back on the bench. Is this his first game back?
Luton are up 1-0 to West Ham. A draw would keep them in with a shot at staying up. A loss in the context of their goal difference would mean they are probably gone.
Assume they win and Forest are beaten by Chelsea (no foregone conclusion) then there's a big shoot off between the sides but with Forest playing Burnley (who could be already relegated if they don't win at Spurs today) and Luton playing Fulham. Most points would win but same points would relegated Luton.
They have a shout but they need to beat West Ham and Fulham and hope for Forest slip ups.
