Professional performance. Dan Neil motm for me. Wish RLB would've used his subs earlier, got a massive game on Monday and some need game time. Only a slight gripe though.
If @SeanMac is around, I wouldn't mind his thoughts on O'Nien's performance tonight since he thought it should've been Mepham and Ballard at centre half
Mepham has been a little off the boil in the last few weeks and Ballard came in and did brilliantly. Providing Ballard is fit enough, Mepham has a job to get his place back.
cheers again RTB... the lads controlled that game from start to finish, apart from that one 'hiccup' they played it like a practice game....isidor being more involved off the ball, neil is simply getting better each game, paddy and ELF having a competition to see who can collect the ball the best and both contributing right through the game, ballard and onien handled any luton 'threat' and hume/cirkin getting up to support while keeping up their defence duties, riggy and jobe working well and patto for the one time he was called into action handled it well. all these lads can do is try to keep in touch with 'those three' and hope for a slip up or two. ref watch, thought the officials were good tonight, did not get dragged into giving luton any cheap free kicks (we have seen it enough) and letting the game flow where possible, and good to see them take the 'flag waving' by onien in good humour. struggling for a MotM but decided it goes to dan ballard, brought 'out of the cold' to do a job and he handled it perfectly.
They’re ****ing dog **** mind arent they? At no point did they even attempt to look like they wanted to get back into the game, feel sorry for their fans that travelled all this way for that
Kept away from footy coz I was fuming after Saturday. Looked before the match and didn't realise they were 2nd bottom/now bottom. They're awful. Wft has happened there. I suppose you can only play the bully and be underdog for so long.
Not taking anything away from us here but Luton are really poor. Going down with a whimper at the moment. Offered nothing going forward outside of a few set pieces.
Well done lads. Solid, and at times beautiful. Complete control of the game. Neil my MOM. Better than Pirlo. Le Fee excellent, best of him yet. Ballard was excellent I thought. Physically dominated anyone that came close. Cirkin had a really sound game too. As for Luton. I would be worried if I were the coach. At 2-0 the effort levels just werent there. Really worrying signs. Even the subs jogged through it.
The rest of the teams we know play we either beat or draw against. we played all the teams that have beaten us in the league twice. few days rest. beat Leeds and we take the second spot, the momentum will be with us
Comfortable, professional performance. Lots of good displays. Nice to see a very good turnout for Roberts. Mind, the subs thing is really pissing me off now
