Bizyer Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I feel robbed. We were the better side overall but should have been more clinical in front of goal and less sloppy at the back. We can't keep shipping 2 goals per game and needing to score 3 to win. 1 Quote Link to comment
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sums up our season really. Didn't really deserve to lose but didn't do enough to win either. Plenty of the ball and played OK for most of the game but lacked a cutting edge and conceded two sloppy goals from simple balls into our box. If we are to make any real progress we have to turn games like this into draws. 1 Quote Link to comment
Andy082005 Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 That tonight pretty much summed us up . Not just this season but historically Luton were terrible, but we just never cope against big physical players Our defence is pitiful it really is. Fair play to the kids tonight though. Massengo especially . Let down by school boy defending 1 Quote Link to comment
BCFCGav Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Got to start keeping the ball out the net. I really think we may have won that with Bentley. But still, Scott looked very good and Weimann with ANOTHER goal. Some good positive play too and I think we’ve really got a good thing coming with some of these youngsters we have. On to the next. 1 Quote Link to comment
Northern Red Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Highly frustrating. You can see the improvement in a lot of things we do, but we make life hard for ourselves by consistently giving really poor, preventable goals away. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lew-T Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Man that’s as frustrating as it gets! Luton did absolutely nothing all game, we just gifted them 2 soft goals out of nothing really. The young lads tonight were excellent…Pring, Scott and Massengo. 2 Quote Link to comment
Bedred31 Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Last 3 games we’ve conceded 2 goals a game to desperately poor sides and 6 goals to an outstanding side. Terrifying stats. We need a new defensive strategy pronto- at least one new face and, frankly, much better coaching and managerial organisation. ‘Too good to go down ‘ is a mantra of at least half the teams who go down. Yes, some excellent displays from some young prospects, but overall this is probably the softest City side I’ve seen in 50 years- and at a time when we have a hard man for a manager! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Zed@BCFC Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Poor keeping. Brushed aside. We didn’t deserve to lose. Quote Link to comment
Dolman_Stand Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Disappointed with the result but not the performance, some real building blocks on place for next season with Pring, Scott, Semenyo and Massengo all playing well. Moved the ball pretty well in periods too, if we cam get the likes of Wells and Palmer off the books this week and bring in a CB that should be enough to see us safely in mid table this season before the next phase of the rebuild in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment
lenred Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 It’s a shame but it’s where we’re at. As and when we are looking at going up we will need to be winning those games but until then we will lose a good few like that as we progress. Much rather we won Saturday and lost today than the other way around that’s for sure! Onwards….. 3 Quote Link to comment

Redrascal2 Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 One big commanding centre half for us and we would have won. However we do it we need one if not this season then next. 1 Quote Link to comment

While i agree that he looked very good in the brief time he was on, and a run of games would be great under normal circumstances, I REALLY hope that we nurse him back a bit and don't try and flog him x3 a week and break him in 2-3 weeks like we did the last 2 times.

RedRock Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Another key learning point from tonight is Tins talks a lot of sense and is as emotionally connected to the Club as the supporters. Top man. 4 Quote Link to comment
BCFC Grim Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Scott looks the real deal. I'm hoping we keep him in the midfield rather see him push out wide in a wing back role. Very calm on the ball. I'd take him, Massengo and a fit Williams next season as a midfield three 4 Quote Link to comment

Kodjias Wrist Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Expected to be bullied tonight in all honesty but its still annoying to watch. We have been soft for far too long and it needs to change. We need some help at the back and clearly Klose and Cundy aren't ready yet so we need someone who is ready. 1 Quote Link to comment
ProfitInMyPocket Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 About time we dominate games, it is usually us doing the mugging when we travel away and get the win. Manmarking from set-pieces is a real issue, need one or two more brutes at the back to take control of those situations. Missing Baker massively. Refreshing to see the young boys get more game-time and we need to keep Williams fit, best central midfielder we've had in a long time. Quote Link to comment
Hocca Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Another promising performance but so weak at the back. Wells with the most pathetic cameo I’ve seen in a while just tear up his contract please. Joe Williams superb off the bench so classy, will definitely start Saturday. Special mention for Cam Pring who just gets better with every game, especially running with the ball, looks so quick and powerful. I’m enjoying watching City again for the first time in a while regardless of 5 losses in 7. 8 1 Quote Link to comment

The Swan and Cemetery Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Decent going forward, but first half final ball not great and second half missed some good chances. HNM and Scott did very well first half, tired a bit second half, but overall great given asked to do a tricky job, no sign of being overrun in midfield. Jay doing a decent job since topping up his Oyster card. I’m reasonably convinced that we’re much better going forward since Max has been in the team, but between him and defence we’re struggling with first things first principle of defending. Not convinced by DB, often stuck to his line as well and very capable of blunders as well (see Fulham). Hopefully keeping working as a unit in training and working very, very hard at dealing with balls into the box and our current travails will improve. I almost wish Williams was rubbish, he looks so good that the angst of him breaking down again is giving me palpitations. Lots to work on, but watching a side that both works hard and is entertaining, is so different to what we’ve had for many a year, particularly at this level (post Dicks favourite teams all 3rd/4th tier). 2 Quote Link to comment
Mattredrobin Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thought we deserved something from the game, I'm just pleased we are enjoyable to watch fair enough we make mistakes but we will do with such a young team, lots to be positive about. 4 Quote Link to comment
