Match Day Thread Luton v Bristol City

Apparently Pearson will be very happy with our performance. What with 60% possession and losing 0-1? No wonder we are where we are even though statistics don't win games - except for us.

 

Massengo has been superb all half, get a grip

 

I agree, I was just typing how well we were playing bar pulling the trigger and how Massengo was the best player on the pitch and how well we were playing in defence. Then they go and score from a corner while Vyner was being treated off the pitch!!

 

Unfair on Massengo, thought he's done well. They all have.
In fact City were as good as I've seen them away from home this season.
Unlucky to be 1 down, I might change my mind when I see the replay of O'Leary's effort missing the cross for their goal.
It's going to be a tough 2nd half.

 

All huff, no puff in that first half.

 

Brilliant Semenyo

 

Deserve that equaliser.. nice finish Weimann

 

Bullied defensively again.. Another question mark against O'Leary for me.

 

Commentator said it, soft centre.

 

Ran out of ideas, our passes are tired and predictable.
Wells misses a sitter

 

Much improved, has taken time but we are definitely much better than we were, just need to sort out defending at set pieces. Our general play is good to watch, if a bit fussy at times.

 

Thought we deserved to win that game

 

I see Forest are a totally different side since Hougton dismissal reign.. see them making the playoffs, showing it can be done with a mediocre team.

 

We deserved at least a draw, I actually thought Luton were poor and there for the taking.. imo, we just lacked that cutting edge

 

Wells missing a sitter is predictable as well, what a waste of money?

 

I thought even Wells looked lively when he came on, bit unfair to say he missed a sitter ball was too quick from Weiman’s header and the angle was impossible, just never going to work for him with us best for both parties he is moved on.

 

17 goals in over 70 games says it all.

 

Another match that was of the same old chunk of cheese but didn't stink too bad and yet we find yet another tick in the lost column. Truthfully I think it must be clear as to who goes but would you really want to spend money on any of this lot knowing what they aren't capable of? A tricky unwelcome task faces Pearson over the next week and let's just hope he has something good up his sleeve to save us from all of this angst wondering what may come out of the other end of the transfer pipeline. The quicker we get over the finish line to safety the better for all concerned and then we can start guessing what might occur in the summer.

 

Shocker, Jiffie looking for a player to blame..... The guy has barely played any minutes in the last 2 months, so it's no surprise he's not sharp. NP has ignored him, and last night was a consequence of that. A match sharp Wells scores that. Pi$$ poor defending and goalkeeping for the 2 goals hurt us badly last night. I'm liking how well Semenyo and Weimann are linking up, a real plus this season to see Weimann scoring regularly, rather than I fits and starts as previous seasons. He could get 20 this season at this rate....

 

I am not looking for anybody to blame, just stating a fact. He has rightfully ignored because he is not good enough and is not a team player.

Match sharp that's hilarious, what's the excuse for the rest of his time here? Face it for once he was a poor signing, who has looked from day 1 like he has not wanted to be here, he is overrated and his goal scoring record is poor for a 5mil striker. Mid September he came on for the final 30 minutes of the game at QPR and scored a great goal set up by a great piece of football by Weimann he then apart from 2 games injured had a run where he started 6 games where he was on the field for 514 out of the 540 minutes available in those games and apart from 1 assist never looked like scoring.

But hey last night also exposed the failings of another player who somehow was given a new and improved contract after a long dispute Mr ODowda a player who was rightly called out last over his lack of end product, 1 deflected goal so far this season and no assists and 1 goal and 1 assist last season is nowhere close to being good enough for a wide international player.
