Luton did the square root of **** all to win that.

Difficult for us to do anything when we concede at 2 goals per game though 

Which are generally our own doing, massengo and O’Leary Saturday and O’Leary for both of them Tonight 

[054123]

Lots of positives from this tonight.

I get frustrated by the weak as piss goals we concede, but there were also lots of good things from tonight.

We will stay up and we will get better with an amazing bunch of youngsters

Undone by two soft set piece goals ,very poorly defended. A good overall performance though and some good stuff played…..

[The Original OTIB]

Need a f in keeper who commands.

We’ve got two perfectly capable Keepers, what we need is Baker and Atkinson fit and firing.

We need a new defence before we need a keeper. We don't have one who can hold their ground and head a ball out from a set piece without Baker.

[Dan Robin]

And fuc##ng Luton beat us again! 

So gutted for this undeserved result, and Posh win makes it worse. We have still a lot to fight to survive in this league...

Deserved a point tonight. Let’s hope Klose is the answer as we need reinforcements in defence. We’ve also said it many times before, but we also need Williams to now stay fit for the rest of the season. 

Agreed he looked bright when he came on, but I hope he’s not going to be one of those players that’s a slight over stretch from an injury all the time 

[Andrew_V1]

Extremely irritating result which sums up where we are at this time 

we are starting to consistently play well and some of the kids are shining

That said you cannot avoid the obvious and that is max is absolutely not good enough for this level, and the constant rabbit in headlights on the goal line moments are just way too common and a clear deficiency in his game 

[YGBjammy]

Have to say I'm still proud of our young players. Pring, Semenyo, Scott, Massengo all look the real deal.

[JoeAman08]

Oh well. We just need to grow from this. Be more ruthless when we are on top. Get a bit tougher defending set pieces(Klose helps this massively if you are on the fence on that one). All forgotten with 3 points on Saturday. 
 

Not much bad to say about anyone. Could nitpick a few things but wasn’t a poor performance. Good growth game for the young uns I reckon. Shows they need to get a bit quicker and stronger. Luton not much but athletic and hard working. Going to be a lot of that in their careers 

[Red Army 75]

NP will be super frustrated tonight

Just have to take the positives from tonight. We have played well but poor defending and finishing in a game where we have been the much better side. If we can get firing at one end or the other we should be more than comfortable staying in the division.

Yeah. Its another defeat but clear progress and after years of not knowing who best 11 is and changing formation every other game, we have a pretty clear core group, set formation and an emerging style of play. The defending is infuriating. But I actually quite enjoyed that. 

[cityexile]

It’s just frustrating as much as anything.

Signs of real progress, particularly in the first half. Second much more even. Again, just two average crosses in to our box and no one of ours near it. We always seem to have to score 3 to win. There would be second division defences disappointed with our defending on their goals.

Always think defences are built on partnerships. Ours are non existent right now.

Vyner, O'Leary too weak for me was a horror show at the back.

Wells needs moving on waste of money and resources.

Vyner disagree on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[westonred]

I got my tin hat on but i thought Vyner did ok tonight but we are desperate for a big shaun Taylor type defender to come in

[StGeorge]

maybe a crap result, but how much better was it than a year ago>

No our overall uplift in performances should see us safe now

[WECANDO]

Weak keeper. Needs a 6ft 5ins keeper with some weight and muscles to come off his line and knock a few out the way. Grrr!

[Red Army 75]

We miss Nathan Baker massively. Such a shame

[RedRock]

Gutted. Better team lost.

Thought Scott, HNM were awesome in midfield. 
 

Nice football. Played well. 

Negatives. Martin can only play one game a week. Max just doesn’t have the presence. 
 

 

[Banjo Island]

What an awfull shame so many positives undone by two horrendous goals despite the defeat i have to say iam falling back in love again with this team dont think we are to far away from being a decent side

[jiggers58]

I thought Williams looked very good when he came on - we need a run of games from him.

Posh drew.

[old_eastender]

As dominant a display for the first 35 mins as I have seen from us in a long time. Just lacking a bit of quick movement and some poor crosses cost us. 

Bad call to play Chris Martin again. He was very good fresh against Cardiff, but expecting him to start again a few days later resulted in a predictable leg weary display. Now he is going to be even more leg weary if selected to start against PNE. 

P1ss poor goal keeping by Max at fault for both goals, as he was for Cardiff's 2nd. Bentley has to come back in.

All that said should have ended 2-2 but for a shockingly poor finish by Wells in injury-time.

 

 

 

[Supersonic Robin]

Frustrating one. Thought we looked the better team for large parts.

Unfortunately, we continue to concede soft goals. Often feels like we need to score 2 just to have a chance of getting a point. It's been like this all season too, so unfair to lump all the blame on O'Leary.

Big picture still looking positive though - we're moving in the right direction.

You can't do the basics you deserve to lose.

But we know what we lack, we just don't have the players in the side to stop it happening.

Get Maenpaa back

[Gazred]

Best defeat we've had there in years!

Bloody annoying goals to concede and whilst we looked decent in possesion most of the time, there wasn't enough end product. Still think we were worth a point though.
