Holding firm, just. Ref is ****e, giving us nothing. I'd take Rigg off before he gets sent off. Hopefully make a few tweaks at half time and get into the game.
Second half will be much the same very physical. The ref needs to start getting a hold of the game especially the elbows to head and the pushes in the back. I don't mind the edging out and using hips etc but blatant 2 hand pushes should be punished especially when it is to break up play or counters.
Just a reminder to everyone that we’re not losing. We’re drawing away from home against a side performing out of their skin, in a fixture everyone thought a draw would be a brilliant result. No need to panic or make drastic changes.
No other team have brought the game to us like this lot. Brutal style of football but man it has been a slog to survive. Survive they have had though. Love the commitment these lads show. Would stand in the trenches with them no problem.
Honestly feel like we'll win this. For me the lad infront of Patto is the reason for the offside. Few players and passes not "clicking yet", but I just have a feeling we'll get one or two chances in the second half and get one. Genuinely laughing at all the anti Northern chants when in reality, if we weren't passing through Luton to get to Wembley, you'd turn back. Never one to give any of our lads stick, but Pattos distribution doesn't seem to ever improve, I love him like, but probably one of the reasons we play from the back is because his short range passing is far superior to long.
Why is Neil allowing us to rush everything … … no one, him included, is putting their foot on the ball. We’re playing right into their hands ffs.
Well thought i would count to ten before commenting, didnt work that was fekking **** was hoping for about 80% better, needs Brown off Rigg off Conolly/Alesic/ Watson
Think sometimes you just have to say fair play to the opposition. Their press has been outstanding and they’ve worked us into mistakes all half. The difference to us this year (so far at least) is how deep we dig in to keep the ball out of our goal. Been a tough watch but we’re still in it, wouldn’t think Luton can keep this up all game but we have to do much much better on the ball.
Patterson didn’t know he wouldn’t get his head on it, so was distracted … … that’s as clear an offside as it gets.
Someone at your door there,Nig? Hard viewing this one, bit like how Applo Creed must have felt like when Rocky wouldn't piss off.
Aye I'd say we've played well, been relentlessly battered but we haven't conceded. Plenty of room for improvement in terms of keeping it further up the pitch but the defence deserves a lot of credit especially the two CBs.
