Luton Town Post Match Thoughts

[Scum-Triumphant]

Very difficult place to go and get anything and Luton played well.
I thought Humphreys was excellent. Calm and composed on the ball and he plays it to feet into midfield rather than hoofing it.

Yes.

Lack off squad depth.

Bar 1 or 2 our first team picks itself week in week out so obviously the players coming on aren't as good

Plus if we go ahead 9 tines out 10 the other team turns the screw and steps up a gear.

When teams have better quality than you to start off with

It's a uphill struggle from the start.

Nevermind tiredness injuries etc etc

That's a really good point about other teams having better quality than ourselves because money talks.
So as a club that operates within its means under the current chairman, what do you suggest we do? UTM

Good point but yet again an eternity of injury time, this time 9 minutes. Always seem to be one of the last games to finish.
Shame we couldn’t hold on but every point is a good point away from home.
Listening to Three Counties Radio they seemed happy with a point too particularly considering they lost their manager.
I like Luton, not a big club but a very good one nonetheless and down to earth fans.

Four points all gained away from home this week so am very happy with that return.

Time to regroup and go again in 4 weeks. UTM

So frustrating to concede in the last few minutes, but as has been said, 4 points from the last two games is a fantastic return. The overall performance of the side has improved steadily since MT's arrival but there's plenty to work on. I'm prepared to put it down to tiredness and the impending break today, but we gave up possession far too easily. We have to hold onto and use the ball much better when we have it. The last few minutes summed it up perfectly, corner hits the first man and they break... then Dan's late free kick the same thing happened, didn't clear the first defender, they break, we're chasing back, Cuffy commits a foul and picks up the 7th booking. There were at least 2 dubious bookings e.g. Washington... how the hell was that a foul never mind a booking!...but we don't help our cause by giving the ball away too easily then scrambling back and committing fouls.

Anyway, far more positives than negatives today. Viktor mom for me. Two top class saves amongst a steady performance. No coincidence that it took a wicked deflection for them to equalise.

Can't wait to get the World Cup out of the way and get back to proper football

Will have took alot out of them at Sheff U. Pity we couldn't hang for the win but a point away from home we'll take that. Get to January then see if we can strengthen the side were needed up front definitely.

Well the lads played well,again we have a stupid amount of extra time, and as others have said every time we committed a foul it was a booking yet they received nothing.
When are we going to get fair officials.
Johansson. 2 wonderful saves.
Peltier, silly booking but generally fine.
Humphreys, had a fine game, unflustered, and skillful.
Harding. Another steady game.
Barlaser. Got caught in possession a couple of times. But still a class act.
Rathbone. Bit more control today and got really involved.
Lindsay. Again in their faces and used the ball well.
Wiles. I like him playing further forward, but he still is giving the ball away too much.
Bramhall. Constantly improving still needs a bit more defensively, but my how fast is he.
Ogbene. Looks dangerous every time he runs at players and scares them stiff.
Kioso. Was doing so well just hope he's not badly injured.
I too think it's a waste of a player having Bramhall and Barlaser over the ball at corners.

This Ref loves to be the star, thats 3 times this season so far. Can we request not to have him anymore?

Great point, but getting pegged back late us cost us relegation a few years ago, hope its a habit that we can break or it too might be repeated.

thought we played ok. Still giving the ball away too easily. We have a free kick and Dan puts a poor ball in and they clear and break. BNC fouls the man and their free kick ends up in our net via a big deflection.........We left 1 of their players alone 22/25yds out more than once.
Need a hold player up field, it comes back too easily.
4pts from 2 away games is a good return, just start winning a few at home and we'll be fine.........................i hope UTM.

Just watched brief highlights their goal Victor had it covered deflection by their player diverted ball away from him. Looked like we were losing ball letting them break away Carlton Morris chance an example. Anyway we've gone into the break feeling positive after 4 pts from 2 away games.
