Really!? He won a couple headers and still managed to connect some passes.

Some nice pieces of skill too to hold on to the ball

I wish somebody would put one on Morris. Or any Luton player actually…
 

Not asking much. 

[Davefevs]

1st half summary:

if you’re blaming individuals, you ain’t looking hard enough.  Awful team performance.

Get pressure on the side centre-backs, stop them pinging it and get the back for higher as a result.

Quick poll.

Does anyone think that Cornick shouldn't be subbed at half-time?

 

Who??? Oh sorry, didnt realise he was earning his wage by actually being on the pitch!

[westonred]

We havent got a bench that can help out tonight this luton team would destroy the youngsters confidence

The guy and girl in the studio are bloody awful .

They are shocking, yet still a million times better than Downsey!

If there was one game where we couldn’t afford to be without Matty James; then this was it !

Or Naismith, or Atkinson or Kalas.

Credit where credit’s due, we’ve been completely outplayed in that first half and are lucky to go in 1-0. I had them down as relegation fodder after the ease with which we beat them back in August. Fair play to them. 

That said, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we somehow nick a point. Soren Andersen at Sunderland in ‘99 springs to mind.

Me for one. The pile on is tiresome and borderline embarrassing.

You should try watching on Red Button.

The commentator has to keep sticking his hand around the camera to wipe the rain off.

PROPER low budget stuff.

I’m not usually one for h-t changes, but I feel we need to match them up.  If Tanner is well enough to do 45, get him on for Mehmeti (not his fault) and go 3412.

O’Leary

Tanner Vyner Pring

Sykes King Scott Dasilva

Weimann

Cornick Wells

[Malago]

Well at least we’ll have the wind and rain at our backs in the 2nd half.  Can’t think of any other positive.

It’s almost like we’re missing 4 key players & we’re asking the same 11 to play 3 games a week & the bench is full of untried kids, isn’t it?

Pearson out.

Me.

Spike was spot on with the analysis. Not sure what you're sensitive about?

[downendcity]

Just read through the MDT and have to say that if we've been that bad and Luton that good, then they should be out of sight by now 

If this was at AG and the roles and score reversed, then we know that we'd come to  regret not making more of our dominance, the opposition would play their way into the game and we'd more than likely end up blowing it 

In fairness it does seem that injuries have taken there toll on a thin, and now threadbare, squad. Has our makeshift team got enough to comeback? 

Fingers crossed Pearson won't be happy and will send them out with a bit if fight and purpose.

[Red_Alligator]

Well thank goodness for that whistle......

This has got 1-2 written all over it. 

Hasn't it ???

Been ill since Saturday, sounds like he was ill during the game Saturday too

I think it is called context, still gives you the opportunity to moan about Pearson, I suppose.

I didn’t bother reading pages 4-12….I guessed he’d be scapegoat.

G'wan City, shithouse them, get that last 10 minutes draw, you know you want to

James is the glue that holds it all together.

[slartibartfast]

It MUST be me, but I'm not particularly impressed with Luton............it's just that we are totally shite   (for obvious reasons, game too far with the injury probs ).

I would take Weimann off rather than Mehmeti I dont think Andi has touched the ball yet

[Slippin cider]

Is that right Tanner is ill?

You’re right, but we’ve been in this division 8 seasons. This is Luton’s (shit ground, shit fans, shit budget)‘s second season at this level

Indeed we have but with most of those seasons using an utterly non coherent strategy which left us in this absolute mess.

luton have consistently recruited for a style that fits their budget and maximise it

whereas we decided to play football manager for real taking 2 million punts on the likes of gustav engvall….
