    We started poorly, improved as the game went along, the CB's and Amad stood out over the 90 mins, the changes worked second half and from fearing the worst we had the chances to win it at the end. All in all a good point which could and probably should have been all 3, see above. Thats my opinion anyway.

    Enjoyed listening to that , 800 games as a manager has served TM well, and he is now doing the same for us imo.

    Now then tees. If you get me describing it, you’ll get the positive bits, and if you get monty, you’ll end up with all the negative!!

    I thought we played ok first half after the 15 minute mark once we managed to get a grip on the game. They were the better side by far up to then. We were unlucky to be 1 down at half time as their keeper played well.

    Second half e were on the front foot. Some good stuff at times

    Amad wa my MOTM, good on the ball and caused all sorts of problems for them. Still a little raw as he took a shot which he put into the side netting when he should’ve squared the ball but I don’t mind that. Young lad, desperate impress. If Stewart had done the same thing, nobody would bat an eyelid. Amad seems to be getting the short shrift from some of our fans for some reason.

    Simms came on and immediately made a difference, actually having someone up there to get the ball to was massive.

    Ref was a bell end (you knew I was going to say that though!!!)

    Very good point imo

    I look at some of the comments on there and think “what exactly do you want?” Some of our fans are so arrogant. Luton finished an entire division above us last season, and we could easily have beaten them yesterday if not for their keeper

    So you want players on the pitch that are purely there to hurt the opponent and run the risk of red cards? Bizzare

    Not at all. I want players who will not be out muscled. Players who have the physical strength to stand up for themselves.

    On that note once again Michut only played part of the game and got among the most tackles in. Could be a handy player that lad. Amad got the same number and Cirkin got one more.

    Definitely meant he wants a player who next opportunity would have went in hard on Morris had got a yellow, Ball, Cana, Cattermole.

    I wanted someone to do that. Hard but fair tackle was needed to put him in his place

    Watching the replay back, their first chance came because that same twat who kicked Basth for the goal, dragged him to the floor off the ball. So their goal and best chances were s a result of their player cheating and fouling Baath.

    You must be wrong with your opinion. People on twitter say he should be sacked!! (But I agree with your opinion)

    Just don’t get it, what is a hard tackle on him going to achieve when they have already scored?

    I don't think we want a player who's task is to hurt anyone, but a player who would let the oppo know we won't put up with any such behaviour.

    I'm
    Ballard bounces people in the air, Stewart doesn't get shoved off the ball and Huggins looks keen to tackle.

    We also have Ba, Matete and Simms who are learning quickly.

    But I do agree we need a Cattermole who's absences, through suspension, can be covered ...

    ... there are some games when you need some muscle, Luton are really just a L1 outfit tbh.
