    It was a relief to watch us play football for 10 minutes today. Where the **** were we for the rest of the game? Absolutely flat, there wasn't a single good performance. Ballard 7/10 about the pick of the bunch.

    Good point against a really in form team, everyone apart from the doom merchants should be happy with that.

    Between you and me i dont think we will get much further unlesss Tony can get them playing from the off, and not in the last chance saloon as they seem to do so often but that was a huge point imo.

    Happy with the point in the end.

    Need to see the pen back. Opposite end to me. Looked like a lino call. Not sure we would have scored otherwise.

    Luton are poor got me, they have done well to amass that many points

    We haven’t been in the best form lately, but the players are giving everything every game against tough opposition whilst lacking some of our most experienced, and best players.

    A good point against a Luton side that have been very strong away from home.

    To be fair to Mowbray, most of are we’re underwhelmed when he came in and he’s done a brilliant job with what he’s got. We play decent football and we’ve got a great young squad.

    You can tell by his interviews he’s not happy about not having a striker but there’s nothing he can do about it. Mid-table is a great first season back, personally I think we could’ve easily been up there with Boro if we didn’t have Stewart and Evans out but it’s all a big what-if. Hierarchy have hopefully learned their lesson and next season we’re well prepared for the worst.

    What a rotten team Luton ...

    .... I'd actually want them to go up just so I can watch them totally destroyed.

    It was nowt to do with a striker today. The whole team was flat, no-one got going at all.

    Luton had a massive off day and if it wasn't for a gift from the ref, they'd have had their easiest 3 points of the season.

    Mowbray was poor today and so were most of our team, Patto especially for their goal.

    Look at their record, they are a well managed side and have a good fit powerful striker.

    I quite enjoyed that. We deserved a point at least. Looks like Mowbray has a plan B now, 3 at the back and everyone else attack. <laugh>

    Poor performance from both teams. Got a bit of luck with the pen for once but we were hopeless going forward.
    Hope that's the last we've seen of Gelhardt, he out of form, low on confidence and doesn't fit the style. Rather try one of our own players up front if, as Mowbray suggested, we are now just playing for position.
