Mr Popodopolous Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) We deserved to lose, we look and looked tired. Our run has in gemeneral been great but injury has been killing us a bit. Hopefully Tanner back Saturday. Naismith, James, Conway post international break? Next season we have contracted for sure... O'Leary, Bajic Tanner, Wilson, Atkinson, Pring Naismith, James, Williams, Scott Mehmeti, Cornick, Benarous, Sykes Bell, Conway, Weimann, Wells Vyner surely either new deal or contract option activated. Hakin, Kalas, DaSilva, King all questions over contracts. 6 or is it 7 now injured, plus one coming back from long term injury in Wilson and Bajic loaned out. A couple of PL loanees, we need to keep most of the above and add a few IMO. Departures may make the necessary additions 7 or 8. Edited March 15, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous 2 Quote Link to comment

Their press in the first half completely knackered us. Stupid defensive play led to their goal. Second half we got a bit more physical and employed a much higher press on them. Aside from the Luton game, are we physical enough generally? I like aspects of their various games, but do we think the likes of Bell, Mehmeti, Cornick and Wells are up for a scrap? Compared to that Luton side, not a fair fight. Luton seemed to get a free kick every time they fell over. As one of the commentators said. " The player was on his way down before he was tackled!" As for Lockyer's shoulder barges when he had no intention of playing the ball...! 4 Quote Link to comment

Second half was better matched, and Sykes and Weimann ran their socks off. But we still just couldn't threaten. 1-0 Luton was, imo, a fair result.

Shocking bit of refereeing They had a close up in the last seconds where Luton got the last corner. Woodrow picks the ball up and throws it off the pitch. Nothing happened, again, shocking... To be fair, he should've sent off Pring which was probably the worst decision all game. Just glad it went our way for a change (fat lot of good it did us) Luton were better side by a mile, but we lost to a goal we never should've conceded I thought the Pring decision was pretty much the only one he gave us over 90 minutes. Not the reason we lost but seemed to give every marginal one to them. 3 Quote Link to comment

miketh2nd Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 We Got a bit lucky in the 1st half pring not to be sent off to be honest or be behind by 2 or 3. Not too bothered considering the team we had out and Luton showing why they are where they very physical , lots of crosses and could play on the deck . We pushed cornick up front in the 2nd half and he was able to get more stuck in and Luton lot less possession or in our half at least . We sacrificed width when we brought on the subs which did make our midfield more balanced and in the 2nd half we defended a lot better as a team . Very impressed with our fitness levels come the last 15 minutes . I would say it is a game semenyo would of thrived on but there hasn't been many games where we have missed him but also just physical presence in general we could do with bringing in come the summer .

stephenkibby. Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 With no excuse the amount of the players unavailable with the thinist of squads we are where we are. Luton with a real chance of the play offs, we get out played. Really can't believe how so many are pissed off. Were gona finnish half way up the league and anyone withy any vision can see progress. Next season we will be stronger Most will stay with it. Keep the faith City fans. 11 1 Quote Link to comment

Clearly there must be some insight into how Ill Tanner is and the fitness of Kane Wilson? Obviously Nigel Pearson is a bit clueless is a common thread. I always think that some people write and sound like they don’t like Pearson and want him to fail as they put so much energy into screaming sack the bastard when we were struggling. (I think I will give FBC a miss this week) On the other hand we didn’t win any second ball in the first half, dinked passes to no one and couldn’t cope with the power of their forwards throughout. We are a bit bare bones for sure and that is great experience for the youngsters! 5 1 Quote Link to comment

With the size of their front two Atkinson was a huge miss for us tonight, take your point about Kalas but unlike Rob, he’s missed most of the last year. 2 Quote Link to comment
