Luton Town Match Thread.......
- Thread starter smudgie
- Start date
Looking forward to this match also!!
So much so I've backed Mingoia 1st goal and 3-0 Stanley 325/1.
Gutted for Luke but Lynch will be chomping at the bit to keep the shirt so hope his debut is as memorable as Luke's.
We NEED to grab the first goal if we are to have any chance imo. If they bag early and the heads drop we could be in for a long afternoon.

Didn't actually barrack Shaun RR.....but I will own up to uttering the odd criticism of some of the ineptitudes which he demonstrated on occasions !, and being honest these suggested to me that he had little chance of making much of a career in football.
However, it pleases me to know that with some development of his skills and a measure of perseverance he has made some success for himself, I wish him well.
PS.....and I am an old git ....as everyone knows !

Had the chances to win it, But out muscled, need a big spoiler big time in my estimation, Hunty will never ever be a midfielder,too late was the cry.
Once again the officials not much cop at all The first Luton goal was n offside just before the goal move, the liner never flagged, Still its the only consistency ive seen yet this season.

Proccy?
Yes please! Much as I like Nicky hunt, his square peg does not fit in that midfield round hole
Was always going to be a tough game and so it proved.
From the start it was obvious we were going long and battling for the second ball.
For 20 minutes we won nearly everyone and got our rewards.AFter that they changed from their starting shape (4-1-3-2) and really dominated the game.
We then went deeper and struggled to get field position,relying on counter attacks.
Benson up front won everything in the air for them,but they never had any real pace to make it pay.
Positives - two goals ,our first point and thought the keeper had a great game.
Negatives - the fullbacks need to get back to basics and learn to defend first or we will never get clean sheets.
At half-time I would of settled for a point,so fair play to the lads for digging in ,especially against the wind

agreed cashy (Officials not much cop) its almost like there is a conspiracy by the match officials in charge at the store-first to get Stanley relegated out of the Football League, time and time again we get a one-sided referee
Thought his decision making was good,when he came he always got there and a few times gathered at the forwards feet.
It became more difficult for him as we defended deeper and the space in front disappeared.
Make some great saves/blocks but did the basics right for me and can't recall him making a mistake
I don't agree with that, Sam. He was off his line like a rocket several times to bravely dive at the attacker's feet! He also has a great kick on him but it was a pity we didn't have anyone to latch on to them and hold the ball up, so too many times their enormous no.5 just returned them with interest. Many on the Clayton end, me included, were imploring JB to use one of 2 centre forwards as subs in good time to have any effect, but to no avail. When Hunt came off at a snail's pace when subbed, and the goalie didn't show a bit of urgency with his kicks it seemed they were under instructions to play for the draw, which was very frustrating at the time, but in retrospect a point is, hopefully, something to build on. People criticized young Windass for wasteful finishing, but show me any other of our midfielders who get into shooting range and have a real go. I'm confident he will come good given time. Finally, I thought Atkinson was MOM and for me, his pairing with Tom is our best CB option. Agree with other posters that Hunt is all at sea in midfield and the sooner the scales fall from JB's eyes the better!
