Have I mentioned that Boyd is atrocious? Dreary. This has been awful to watch.

Although everyone hates nuhiu and loves fletcher... Fletcher has been poor today. Nothing has stuck. Even balls to feet.

Very poor. Boyd is playing very poorly. Ironically I think the defence and hutch have played well.

Reach shouldn't play in the middle. Boyd is reverting to type. Matias has been abysmal.. Get Winnal up top with fletcher and play matias/boyd and reach wide.

I imagine a few thousand others did too today. But these things happen. How many shots on target did Luton have today? When a team sets up like Luton did it's always going to be difficult to play expansive attacking football.

The couple of times he got wide and to the by line were some of our best attacking moves. I've been impressed with palmer recently. He's clearly working on his forward game... I enjoyed his attempt to get past their full back in first half. More the better. So it doesn't go.. it doesn't matter, you've put the fear in the full back that you will go at him. That in itself is key to ensuring the fullback doesn't foray too far forward.

I'm not sure what people expected from today. We played against a team in good form who are 2nd in the league below us. They tend to score freely and defensively we have been poor all season. We played a strong side to maintain positive momentum. Hear hear I say. We played for the most part with measured control and although we weren't scintillating we had some very good chances. On another day we win easily. If anyone comes to Hillsbrough and is organised, solid and fit then it'll be difficult for us to break them down. Unbeaten run maintained. Onwards and upwards.

How is anyone giving Palmer less than Fox? I just don't understand what people watch sometimes. Boyd was completely anonymous second half. Fletcher got no change out of a seemingly competent back four. One of those games. If the opposites have made a mandate to sit on our most creative player (and for the first ~60 mins they did that well) then were always going to struggle as we have very little creativity. If Matias stops trying to take the keepers head off and buries one of his chances its a different game when they have to play more expansive football.

Bit of a depressing thread this. Bloke posts something and instead of debating/ rebutting what he said he gets ripped apart personally. He may be right, he may be wrong. Very few know.

Boyd is garbage. Jones is garbage. Sooner these pair are off the wage bill the better. Hutch is more than useful. As for abdi... well who knows.

All, Wishing you a very merry Christmas. Been a torrid year but one that sees us looking toward a brighter future (hopefully). New manager, new ideas. Onwards and upwards. WAWAW, UTO

The mind boggles. Next people will be clamouring for David Jones like he is the messiah.

Boyd is absolute garbage.

Have you watched villa recently? Hutton is putting in some top performances.
