AshtonRobin21 Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Every decision was spot on tonight. He was the calmest person in the stadium, and needs to take credit for the game-plan. He worked out Luton's strengths, and created a plan to nullify them. Big credit to Nige and the coaching staff tonight. The players out in the performance, but the coaching staff certainly had an impact. Great to see the unity amongst the squad as well. I loved seeing the defence praise eachother after every clearance/tackle. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can give the ref some slack on the red maybe, but the pen shout was a stonewall one moments before. Maybe a bit of frustration that led to the red card incident?

Artcliffe exile Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Probably let my heart rule my head on Saturday said a few rash things really want any city manager to be successful and tonight blew me away no weak link fantastic performance from everyone including the fans best game in a long while COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is beyond a joke, the push on Atkinson was such a blatant penalty I have no idea why it wasn’t given. I fully expected Sykes to get a red, but how Freeman avoided one I have no idea. None of these decisions are evening themselves out, Wigan should have played in the blazing heat with 10 men at 1 down & tonight it should have been ten a side with a penalty to us.

AppyDAZE Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Gonna go against the grain a bit and say I thought the ref was ok tonight. Sykes only had himself to blame for going two-footed, you know the risk. You could definitely argue that Freeman should have walked too, but over all I'd have little complaint about tonight's ref. I wasn't sure about the foul on Atkinson, from where i was I wasn't convinced it was a pen. Edited August 16, 2022 by AppyDAZE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooered Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Red G has written good interview but failed to mention that NP also hinted that he may just walk away from the sport or he is thinking about it I hope someone in the club is convincing him to do otherwise or it will be a big loss just when we look as though we have turned a corner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref let a lot go so suppose could argue Sykes was a yellow in that context, but I’m inclined to think it was reckless. The point being all the decisions were arguable, not nailed on. And I’m sorry but I do think Nige makes himself sound like NathanJones when he goes on about retiring because of refs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were “decent” at Hull and Coventry too. Mixed / Meh against Sunderland and Wigan. 1 hour ago, Marina's Rolls Royce said: Dave, have you ever watched Poltergeist the Steven Spielberg movie?

Its always going to be louder after a loss from most but I still don't want him here, don't get me wrong last night was brilliant but Luton were absolute shit.

BUTOR Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 What I saw last night was what I expected a Nigel Pearson performance to be when he arrived. A team completely working for each other. We’ve discussed the eye catching stuff but it’s the little things; Dasilva blocking the keeper off instead of sulking with his hands on his head after Conway didn’t square it, Bentley instantly organising the defence after making an excellent save in stoppage time at 2-0, Naismith barking at anyone who wasn’t pulling their weight, players putting everything into winning throw ins or little free kicks… we were really up for it. The asterisk is that Luton may be a doomed side this season. Repeat that performance on Sunday, in doing so achieving back to back wins in the first month of the season rather than the last, and it’s the clearest sign yet that we’re turning a corner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
