Scrappy game, we were a shambles first half. We were better second half particularly when Simms came on.
Cracking match that - end to end. Though Amad was good, but the amount of posters who wanted him to be the first one subbed baffled me.
I'll take that. Good result, ok performance. We were worth a draw in the end. We looked so much better as soon as Simms came on. Even though he's rusty, just that presence allowed everyone else to do what was natural to them.
Special mention fir Michut. He looks “a player” as they say. Reads the game so well. Important defending and looks good on the ball
Dont know why, but that game gives me great hope for the rest of the season, it was an awful goal to conceed, but the fight back can not be discounted , this Luton team are awful to watch, and must be worse to play against. OaU
officials, while they did not cost us any points were bad but equally so for both sides. our first half sloppy show let us down again, too many now going for a shot when a better pass is on and our passing/control really needs working on. under the cosh for start of the 2nd half yet again, something else that needs work i guess but once we found our feet we started to play a little without being a massive threat until simms came on, once we had that 'focal point' again our overall play became so much better to watch and we started creating better chances although i thought at one point when clarke was on the ball he should have passed to simms sooner, if simms return can lift the team that much i cant wait for LND to get back. luton, sorry but that was another league one performance, arms and legs in everywhere on our players including the foul on batth that got their goal, dropping and complaining at every little contact and i think quite a bit of their 'best play' came from us giving the ball away...i know many clubs are struggling or try hard to keep things 'original' and to hold onto these older grounds but it must be a luxury for the pitchside staff at away games, that dugout belongs somewhere around the 1920's so feck knows what the rest of the ground is like, never mind having to go through peoples gardens to get in. in the end, a draw was a fair result and either side could have nicked it with a little luck, we needed not to lose and the performance towards the end of the 2nd half was much improved, something really needs doing with these officials... when he pulled the game back in the 1st half was a crazy call, either it was a foul and worthy of a free kick or it was not but waiting a few seconds until the away team appear to have a good break going on makes it look even worse.
