gillyno9 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 As good as bannan is......... we try and play through him too much some times. Today being a classic example. The opposition clearly worked that out and baldilocks (no4) shackled him. Wanted to much time on ball and didn’t move it quick enough. Maybe trying to hard? Hector quality again.

Beholder Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) People should not underestimate Luton who are probably equivalent to a decent champ side. Full of confidence. Its not a bad result considering how shyte we were for so long. Edited January 5, 2019 by Beholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes with Hutch on the pitch sometimes without? Occasionally with Reach taken off as a precaution? Boyd full match sometimes? But yes same team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Looked a bit tired against a fair but boring side. We had twice as many attempts as them We had twice as many corners as them. We committed nearly twice as many fouls as them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 12 minutes ago, NYCOWL said: Same team has played 5 games in 2 weeks I think. It’s a big ask given the fixture pile-up. I can’t understand why we haven’t made changes to the side. For example, it was a bit daft to keep flogging the likes of Bannan, Reach, Hutchinson once again IMO. Those 3 in particular have all played loads of minutes over the Xmas fixtures, and have looked tired in recent games. So not exactly a great leap in logic to assume they could be vulnerable to injuries/fatigue if involved today. We have a large squad for a midtable Championship club and a decent pack of U23s that have recently broke into the first team picture. Given the recent fixture congestion, you involve some of your fringe players in games like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Neg Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 50 minutes ago, TodwickOwl said: The whole one dimensional lump to Fletcher is dire If this is the plan moving forward then it’ll soon wear thin with fans - we have the players to play football on the floor, stop with the Megson style lump and hope One game without Bruce arriving yet and you already think we will adopt hoofball as our tactic under him. This all sounds a bit panicked to me Todwick. We've got more players available and a proper manager now, can't all happen at once. One game against Luton sounds like a chance to try one or 2 things to me. Might not have worked but they've got just under half a season to work it all out. Give them time.

Maddogbob Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Didnt enjoy the performance, found it very frustrating. If and its a big if we set up like that regularly, we need pace. From somewhere. I really dont want to be watching a jos/carlos hybrid of turdball. Thought fox played well and was nice to see winall on the pitch. Only positive today got some ace father son time, he left with a smile on his face having got the chance to sit at the front and see his favourite players very close up. Overall nice to get out. Not fussed about the reply against the edl scumballs. Edited January 5, 2019 by Maddogbob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 That was really poor today. Frustrating as good feeling was returning slowly, and you’d have thought the players would have been desperate to impress the new management. Instead we we looked half asleep, sluggish to go forward, and a yard off the pace. Plenty of huffing and puffing and very little else. A game to match the atmosphere in the stadium.

meggoisgod Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The Luton left back was the best player on the pitch, in fact both their full backs were better than ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Frustrating... but I think if anyone thought we'd rock up to day and dispatch them with ease they've had too many trifles over Christmas. We've had some good results of late but it's been a tough, confidence knocking season and things don't get solved overnight. Against a side full of confidence like Luton today was always going to be a tough task. A low gate, a closed KOP and a lack of atmosphere gave it all the feeling of a friendly game. Nothing too unexpected today I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We carved our two best chances on the floor through Matias. Why we’re entertaining the competition is questionable too - we’ve lost Bannan and Hutch to this game as a result Bad, bad afternoon Were entertaining it because weve got nothing else to play for!
