BDCR was on the bench and Martin believes him to be a striker. 

Which strengthens my point

How it started vs. how it’s going.

 

[RichardGearman]

Annoying result. Only caught the 2nd half. Clear pen not given. Had too many attackers on the pitch to defend a point. Not the worst i've seen us. 

[DennisNedry]

Hard one to take.

 

It's just so us that we spent the whole second half trying to equalise and finally did, so Luton then go and score again 3 minutes later with their first proper attack of the half.

 

Blunt in attack and terrible at the back.

Mostly outfought and out-tackled.  First half especially, Luton looked like they wanted it more -  they pressed and pressed and I suppose an Okoli mistake was always on the card.

 

What on earth was Luke Thomas doing playing on the wing in the first half?  

 

Lundstram's second yellow looked fair enough - you shouldn't be throwing yourself in like that when you are on a yellow.  You see them get given.

 

However, we had a goal that was awarded to us, then apparently ruled out by VAR  and one of our players was booted in the face in the penalty area, so it just wasn't going to be our day.

 

 

I recon the linesman bowed to the home fans because they were berating him 1 min after the goal had been given that’s just pure incompetence, we have no decent officials in this country whatsoever!

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

There seemed to be naivety and a lack of application just after we equalised. Not helped by 2 wingers playing full back, but still.

I’m not sure why, but this one has pushed me over the edge.

I feel the same. Like someone has just kicked me right in the nads.

Should have held out, after we score, disappointing, thought we turn the corner

Ironically, they’re also physically midgets and weak/slow AF.

Yeah, Cullen/Chaplin/Reid all 5ft7, lacking physicality...not what you need at this level.

[sm1]

Refereeing was terrible and Luton definitely got some "home" decisions. But ultimately they won because they can defend and we can't.

I'm not really the type to be that arsed about this generally, but if that's true today then he really is an arsehole - I didn't hear a single song against him today (only saw the second half).

Started singing sacked in the morning at the end but I think that was in response to him not going over. He was in a mood because one of the Luton staff told him to **** off rather than shaking his hand

He doesn't believe him to be a striker, he quite clearly does not rate Bristric

[J.Lisemore]

Could have gone either way, would have been a decent point to be honest, something to build on but it's back to square one again. Frustrating times, we shouldn't accept losing to anyone in this league and we've lost too many already. 

[Fazzer 7]

I know it was a half 12 KO and they never suit us. Probably cos some are still hungover. But that was absolute dross. Thomas and Okoli want deporting to Asgard. Why is Thomas always the first name on the team sheet. Another league one season to look forward to. 

[WigstonWanderer]

Thought we deserved a point out of that overall, but it emphasises that Tuesday was as much about the quality of the opposition as anything else.

[Bert]

Disappointing and frustrating. Don’t think we deserved to lose but didn’t deserve to win. Both of their goals once again come from brain farts from us. 

[Foxdiamond]

Anyone thinking we can challenge for promotion is deluded. Far more worried how near the relegation zone we get

Amy is that you!

[weusedtobegood]

Well thats worked out well, not .

Burns isn't worth a shirt.

Okoli cant pass a ball or run with it.

Lumdstram was only involved when he was booked twice.

Thomas is a liability. 

The team needs to play direct football not play it from the back.

Martin has had enough chances now, time to move on.

 

 

[Nods]

We're a side that struggles to carve out decent chances against anyone other than Bromley. Most of the goals we do score are unbelievable finishes out of nothing. And at the same time we'll put it on a plate for the opposition at least once per game. 

 

Depressing in its simplicity. 

 

Drop Okoli and Thomas and we might give away a few less chances and potentially win a few more than we lose. But make no mistake, we're every bit the run of the mill League One side. Won't drop them anyway, least of all Thomas.

I’ve had a lovely few hours.

 

Thought it was a 3pm kick off. Wish I’d thought it was a Sunday.

Exactly and I did think that at the time. As much as we went there and battered them, we will not play a team worse than Bromley all season.

He's said a couple of times that he does, though.

 

And for all his faults I don't think he's an outright liar.

I also think he doesn't rate Bristic. Despite the fact he was extremely excited to have signed him.

 

Sadly,  RM is David Brent adjacent. 

[RonnieTodger]

Martin did clap the fans briefly.

 

Also I’m staggered by what a third world shithole Luton is. It’s like Highfields has a mayor.
