    I was right at the time, totally wrong by the end ...

    ... what courage by that bunch of kids.

    I'm humbled.

    BTW, I'd love to see this team at Wembley ... just saying.

    I do find it funny when the likes of Luton, Burnley and Leeds fans talk about us 'time wasting' or playing quite defensive against them. You have parachute payments, you have multiple players who cost over £10m, players on wages that would cover multiple of our players, more money spent on backroom staff and loads more. Luton spent £10m on their centre back in the summer. We have to do what we have to do.

    Hume absolutely buzzing at the end. He’ll be one who remembers the pain down there after the play-off defeat.

    Brilliant win but what an awful team Luton are. I just don't get how the referee allowed them to block our runners and physically rag us around every time we got anywhere near them.
    Watch Morris blocking and holding Neal after he had played the ball forward for Mundle's goal. The referee spotted it, signalled that he had, but did nothing about it. It made the win, against a side full of the dark arts, taste much sweeter for me,

    Hume isn't the kind of lad I liked to face when I worked on the doors ...

    ... you just know he's never going to back down.

    He must be a nightmare to play against.

    Have we ever seen players that “seem”to care so much and feel the passion .

    I think it’s true some players understand and are getting attached

    In addition to that if Luton scored in the first minute they would protect that for the full 90 like a mother bear protecting her cub.

    Made me laugh hearing them get upset at Patterson timewasting as if they wouldn't be 10x worse given the chance.

    The players thinking of leaving will think this is a cloud on the up with a group ethos , good support ,good management and also a place in the world where football is everything and if you give all you can’t loose

    Well well well. What a performance from our young guns tonight. Yes up against it quite often but by God they fought for every inch every single one of them. Yes passes go astray yes we can get caught on the ball but everyone does no matter which club they play for. We've seen tonight commitment fight spirit and quality from every single one of them. That's all I ask of them win lose or draw. We have a great group here who could achieve greatness. Well done to to every single one of them and to all the back room staff. Enjoy tonight then prepare for Oxford. They won't be easy. Absolutely ecstatic. Keep the faith lads and lasses. Forgot to mention safe journey home to our magnificent supporters.

    Trying to calm down with a glass of malt thinking how we as a club are onto something special here.
    8 wins, 25 points and an untried manager in the uk.
    young lads producing magic moments nearly every week...I could go on.
    I'm over at the weekend and at the match and can't wait to sit in a full stadium....does life get any better supporting these lads.HTL.
