lt looked obvious what we were missing last night, as the players came onto the pitch

Height and mass!

Luton were a hugh and bulky outfit compared to us, and it was a major advantage for them

We just looked so small and puny!

No wonder we are losing every header from balls lobbed forward and muscled out of every slightest contact.

We need a bigger, dirtier f**k off back four, a couple of fast wingers and a quality striker of Hanson/Wyke stature, to knock incoming balls to players like Doyle, Ball, Payne or whoever.

 

Were you reffing?

 

Well I think we haven’t had any luck. Yes we probably haven’t worked hard enough, but we seem to have had the rough edge of the wedge on luck this season.

The reason we did not win last night is the other team were more together, they had a range of skills to employ, whereas ours are limited, plus they played dirty, something we don’t do.

@Fordy117 once again you say we must lose this match or otherwise we are in league 2, and it is up to the players to make it happen. I have seen no lack of effort, and especially since GB arrived.

Bringing in Wright to the bench was a good move, as the saying goes better to have them peeing out of the tent than peeing in.

 

Ultimately we need to be carrying momentum from yesterday into all of our remaining games, no matter who were facing, with a belief that anyone can genuinely beat anyone this year, and we can beat Luton.

We wouldnt be able to argue with a point from this one though, especially if results around us were kind. That'd could leave a 3 point gap with 27 to play for, potentially. Itd be full steam ahead for the 3 points against Oxford on Saturday. A win on Tuesday night would be outstanding, they're in the long straight to win the league now, bit of a blip yesterday, certainly possible.

 

I agree. They passed round us, through us and were clinical at Luton. If they turn up like that it'll be hard.

One thing in our favour is they've just trekked to Plymouth for what looked a tough game and now they've got to travel to us. So hopefully that'll tire them out.

I'd say the usual rules apply this season - we score first and we've got a chance (disregarding the difficulty and their big defensive unit!) - they score first and they could get 3/4 because they'll grow in confidence.

 

My concern about losing is not for the points but for any effect a heavy loss would have on the team for the next game.

If we lose but narrowly and play well, I won't be too down about it.

Saying all that, I still have a feeling we can take something out of this one

 

Not saying for one minute I wouldn’t go at them but they are a good side. Unbeaten in half a season of football. They are not mugs

Realistically would take a point now if offered. Not saying we play for the point though. That’s two different arguments

 

Agree. Can’t really dress it up any other way. Bowyer should be highlighting our plight and removing this ‘unbeatable’ tag they have. We are capable of winning, the team needs set up correctly, play to its stengths and believe they can do it. Hopefully we can do it despite how decent they are. Their fans were overly cocky at Kenilworth in November, need some payback.

I have just had a few beers and a dram tbf

 

Rubbish anything we get from this game is a bonus. 12 points from our remaining games and we have a chance

 

Of course everyone would like a win but you have to be realistic they unbeaten in six months and without holding them up as super humans they are the best team in the league. We need to give everything and hope to get a result but a loss wouldn’t finish us

 

we should treat it as a cup tie a one off after all on Current form they are championship and we are league two. So one off on a bad night as someone else said get stuck in

 

Steve Foster. Now there was a player!
Headbands are sadly lacking in todays modern football.

 

Will be having a some of that myself although was hoping 11/2 minimum
City always do the unpredictable !!!!!!!
With the wind and rain thats forecast its a great leveller

 

After the 3-5mins after the goal, credit where it’s due we reacted well. We did exactly what we needed to do and keep the ball for a few minutes. Never happy to be a goal down, but happy with the reaction.

 

We must've been watching a different game - I thought we pressed well. Having said that was watching on IFollow so maybe the commentary had me swayed a bit

 

Depends on your point of view.

Luton's view perhaps - "wow, three points and we never got out of first gear. They only had one shot on target at home. Excellent defence. No wonder they're getting relegated"

 

The only thing Luton did well for me was cheat and time waste. And that's not a dig at them, because we need to be more like that. We're too soft and players like NKP and Chicksen are weak as piss and get bullied every single game. We need to start being hard bastards, a couple of dirty fouls on players, surrounding the refs, falling over at every opportunity because we're getting nowhere by being nice.

 

One of our leading goalscorers has a battle to get into the team when we're not scoring goals, losing and getting relegated?

Summat wrong there.

 

Caddis is and always will be levels ahead of Chicksen. Caddis was perfectly fine tonight, chicksen had yet another shocker I'm afraid.
