It's hardly James fault that Vyner doesn't show him inside, he was the to help him yet Vyner still shows him the only way that creates any danger. Defending that would be seen as poor in League 2.

He is nowhere near the required standard for this level, first half against Blackpool they got behind him so easily, luckily they then proceeded to be worse than us at crossing but the danger was there.

There are games where you do everything but score, keep is pulling saves out all over the place, you hit the post, bar and then you get done. That is an undeserved loss, a game where you barely create any chances despite playing OK, and then you conceded a goal is really not. Johnson can take the blame for the fact that despite being better than complete shit we still have not created anything.

Agree, even today we have changed system again and it has sort of worked, before when I thought he had stuff with the 4-3-3 with some tweaks I wasn't going to have a pop, but then we start and we have gone 4-4-2 as another random system is thrown in by Johnson

Exactly, it's not as if we have been creating chances and Samba has been pulling worldies out of his arse, or desparste defending is saving goals, we have created half chances and both in more. There is a reason we are sitting firmly at the bottom of most tables that use xG, it shows the weaknesses of that ad a metric, but it also shows that we do not create many guilt edge chances and score more goals than we perhaps have any right to do based purely on what we create.

Yea, or maybe COD.

I wouldn't quite go that far, we are getting into the attacking 3rd and putting in some crosses, but although the crosses haven't been bad they haven't been particularly threatening either. Nagy is effectively linking the defence and attacking midfield, but I would still like someone who is further forward to thread the balls through for Benik in the middle. Game would suit Fam for Wells for me if we are to continue as we are.

I would love to see some stats but I am fairly confident we must be one of the worst sides when it comes to retaining possession from our own throw ins.

They wanted a club the meant something to all of them and Bury have no connection for Nicky Butt, Beckham, Giggs etc, but they all "Grew up together" in a football sense in Salford so it has meaning to all of them rather than just the Nevilles if they went for Bury.

Sadly not the only Gas making them self's look a complete **** along with the king of the idiots performance on the debate.

I think we've been comfortable and the better side to be honest, we've restricted Cardiff to little, only problem is that Hörður is putting in one of the poorest displays for a full back I have seen in years. Cardiff will plough everything down their right second half if he doesn't sort it out. I think if mags stays on we will loose unless his performance improves significantly.

Who exactly is being punished though ? It's not the people who spent beyond their means because they have gone, the luton board were responsible for the clubs finances at the time and even though doubts about this were raised at the time, by Luton themselfs, the Fl did nothing, the FL declared the previous board fit and proper people to run a football club, when it is quite obvious that they clearly wern't. The people being punished had bugger all to do with what happened at the time, and it doesn't discourage clubs to operate within their means because most can't as the wealth gap in football is getting bigger and bigger because the wealth is so unfairly distributed, which causes the massivley inflated prices of english players because a club can live for a few years by artficially hiking prices of players which is harming the national game as a whole, because they know they get shafted as soon as the Fl get involved. The bostock mess shows this as much as anything. Yes it is the Fl's competition and clubs must abide by their rules but, Clubs are companys and are therefore expected to act like companys, and thus their first Priority is to paying off HMRC if they hit financial difficulties, this has little to do with football, it's HMRC digging their heels in because they should be the first priority of any company, before footballing creditors, and HMRC are making sure the FL know this, by first not allowing Leeds and now Luton out of administration. As for clubs living outside their means, when the biggest clubs in the coutry are doing it what hope does anyone else have ? Man U 700 million in debt, Arsenal paying out 28 million per year for the emirates, god knows what chelseas debt is. The sooner Uefa bring in slary caps the better, as until those at the top stop artifically increasing their wealth then nobody else has a hope.

Signed. Seems like a complete mess, the previous board were allowed to continue unchecked even when some serious doubts about the finances were brought to light by the manager at the time, yet the Fl did nothing then and instead wait until a new board are in charge and then punish the club and not the directors, it's a bloody mess. The thing is Luton will by no means be the last club that this will happen to, as the inland revenue are pretty much going to veto any possible CVA's that clubs try to get because for some reason the FL seem to make it so football creditors have to be paid first, even though every other business in the country has to deal with the Inland revenue first and pay them as much as possible and then give their other creditors what they can. From what i understand it was only the Ir who refused luton their CVA, because they have had enough of the football league making clubs pay other creditors first, which really is nothing to do with the clubs, rather dredful management from the FL.
