Luton Town away match thread

[roddy-d]

Can’t believe we’re only 1-0 down.

[David Brent]

Only 1-0

Still in it

[The Original OTIB]

Need to get Sykes into midfield, King too slow, Tanner to RB.

We’ve done brilliantly since Christmas. I genuinely mean that . But people were talking of the playoffs man 

And others of relegation. Both way off the mark. 

[RedRoss]

This is a terrible performance, guess our limited squad is showing but we are shite tonight in all aspects. 

[ciderwithtommy]

Wow - as bad as Blackpool were at ours, we make that performance look superb. 
 

lost count of how many times we gave the ball away. Not athletic enough to compete, which is the basics at this level. Could be 4 or 5 and no complaints. 

[pongo88]

City was marmalised in the first half so I’m going for a full time score of 2-1 to City. It could be one of those games.

Nobodies been good (bar Max) but Dasilva has been absolutely ******* dreadful.

Everyone's had a stinker. No need to single out Dasilva. 

[cityexile]

As 1-0 thrashing go, that was pretty much up there.

Very decent well drilled side showing up how much this is a scratch side for us tonight. Just not at and so lucky Luton not out of sight.

[bearded_red]

A performance truly befitting of that badge, fair play.

[Jerseybean]

In a nutshell

The most one-sided half of football we have been involved in this season. If there is anything to be positive about it’s that we are only one down. Luton have outplayed, outworked and outfought us for 46 minutes. We have been sloppy and second-best throughout.

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

Tidy? Ordinarily we’re tidy. 

They’re ******* Man City in disguise. 

An orange shirted menace is what they are. Doesn’t help that we want to give the ball to them at every conceivable opportunity. This is on a par with Birmingham in terms of shitness

[nellie]

it will be a good one to win this 

[keflav]

Shocking first half awful defending, made it hard for ourselves every time we get ball.. nothing up front, so many players just not showing anything... On a positive note we are only 1 down...

[mozo]

The thing that frustrated me the most was the wild hoofed clearances, all of which fell to a grateful Luton player. 

Luton seem to be capable of playing simple passes but we don't.

Hopefully change it around.

[Northern Red]

A game too far for a few of them.

On the 6 subs, so Callum Wood was placed on the bench last game but then played in the 21's QF yesterday rather than being on the bench today but 6 subs and no natural CB sub?

Would you seriously expect a kid that’s never had a minute in pro football to be chucked in away at Luton ? 

[HOZDA]

Could have been much further behind but we are not! Still in it, could be one of those snatch and grab games like QPR away last season. I imagine Luton fans will be feeling how we did at half time vs Huddersfield a few games ago. Tough game - Coyr

Yeah but if we keep this up imo maybe controversial but we might lose 

[Curr Avon]

Quick poll.

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

Half time stats and Luton are edging it on fouls.

I'm amazed we have had that much possession, at ethry counting that time the ref got hit in the head as our possession?

Gentle reminder for anyone bashing us that because of our injuries we are having to play a right forward at RB, a LB at CB and flogging a 34 year old in CM for consecutive games, can’t even name a full bench. Thanks 

Is Tanner injured then?

[westonred]

The guy and girl in the studio are bloody awful .

Bell for Weimann and let Anis come try link up with Scott. Need Bell on the counter I think.

Would probably gamble and swap King with OTC just to see if he can add some energy. 

Could also stick Tanner at RCB and go 3 at the back if we wanted to add a body back there if he's fit enough.

 

I'd support any of those changes

and Cardiff losing.

[redkev]

Not saying it’s gonna happen by any means on that first half performance, but if we did come back to win ( not gonna happen ) how big is that humble pie gonna have to be for all the Otib members ( me included )

[The Swan and Cemetery]

We’ve helped them look decent, but they… look decent.

All over us, looks like men vs boys. We look like we have no composure, no spark, genuinely look beaten in all aspects of the game

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.
