    Youd honestly be the 1st to moan though if anderson made a mistake, having him on wouldnt have made any difference if everyone else played as bad as they did that half

    The biggest issue is we are not keeping the ball well enough which then means they can keep players high up the pitch that causes us issues.

    We need to get the ball down on the deck n play our game

    My god man. Ever heard of hope, or guts? 1 back and it level again. Over would be 3 down or more. Thank god the players have more about them.

    I doubt these can keep this pressing up gor 45 mins. I also reckon we are one magic moment from a goal. Chance there right at the end. Luton now winning, do they keep bombing on?

    Thankfully Mowbray and the players will be in there now, plotting a way back in. Unlike some who have thrown it all in it seems.

    look at out scoring record. This is still on.

    Luton deservedly beating us. I don’t blame anybody. It is what it is.

    It doesn’t change my views of this club, this team and this manager. The future is bright.

    we have 45 mins to pull off what is looking a miracle. I wouldn’t put it past the lads but if they don’t do it I’m still ****ing proud of them all.

    Because he's a centreback and yet hasn't been handed a start over our makeshift defence of wingers and fullbacks.....? Nothing against the lad but he's not making the bench if we didn't have 6 first team injuries is he

    This small pitch is stifling our attack. I agree with an earlier comment...we seem to be hoping for a worldie! It they score next it's game over. We need to stay strong and they will get nervous the nearer they get to the finish line...

    According to him the season was over after the jan transfer window, he said we would plummet down the table!!!

    Id rather remain hopefully for this 45 mins and see what happens - these lads n staff have earned that hope from us

    Because TM hasn't played him so clearly doesnt think he's up for it, and I trust his judgement. He's only on the bench coz we've got noone else

    He’s looked ok on his few outings too must be murder for his confidence not getting a look in when we’re this short

    As Bobby Saxton might say, Gelhardt might as well be sat at home with me. Got to make it stick better.

    Fwiw I think we’d be losing 2-0 even if Anderson or Alese were playing instead of Gooch. We may have even been losing 2-0 with Batth in there. This Luton side are effective.

    Keep the faith lads and keep fighting. See what we can sneak the other end.

    And if it doesn’t work let’s give it a better go next year. We will be hell of a lot better prepared

    If I was writing this book, Dan Neil for the equalizer, and then the winner!

    That’s the spirit! If the team had the same spirit as some folk they wouldn’t have overturned so many deficits this season.

    Without getting personal, everyone was expecting Luton to throw balls into the box which is where we've been weak for a while. We have no recognised centre halves playing there and Anderson on the bench. Yes we have a young squad and Anderson doesn't have that much experience of playing "mens football" but needs must. We needed height at the back tonight and he plays centre half.

    Well said. And I certainly would swap our team for theirs.

    Everyone has been absolutely garbage mind. Pritchard and Dan Neil have been completely anonymous. Clarke has touched the ball more in his own box than the oppositions, Roberts isn't involved at all and the less said about Amad the better.

    The whole team needs to improve, but they're capable of it and if they do, then we can still win this game.
