Luton 'fighting' for Edwards - Reaction
Luton Town boss Rob Edwards told BBC Three Counties Radio:

"It wasn't perfect - it didn't have to be - but it was important to show a reaction, show some resilience, some spirit, a bit of quality when we needed it.

"They are a really difficult team to play against. They are probably the most complex team in the way they play to press. It was difficult, it was challenging.

"If you think back a couple of years ago, when we got promoted, we had quite a few of those kinds of performances. People putting their bodies on the line. You have to do that to win football matches, it is not always going to be pretty.

"What is pleasing is that the lads are there fighting, with me and with us, and that is good because it has been quite a challenging couple of weeks, or a challenging quite a long period. But yeah, a nice feeling today."

Hull City boss Tim Walter told BBC Radio Humberside:

"Like every week - like the last seven weeks as well - we played well. We created a lot of chances.

"We also defended really good. But, set-pieces...they scored and the whole game they didn't have a chance to score without this.

"The boys showed again character, because if you run backwards in the 96th minute, that shows that the team is really sticking together and they are fighting for each other and they have a good togetherness. I can see it every day in the training sessions.

"We have to score to get better results, but sometimes it is like it is."

Maybe we shouldn't be crossing from wide so many times then ... especially when teams like Luton dwarf us and are physically stronger? Maybe we should play into central midfield and central attack more often to mix it up? Maybe the routines he's training into them aren't working to their strengths and aren't working full stop. Maybe we shouldn't try playing ourselves into trouble so much? Maybe he should switch it around a bit more during a game (wingers to swap wings, subs that aren't like for like, fresh legs earlier, whatever). Maybe it's incredibly naive to have no-one hanging back to stop break aways. Maybe the defensive marking drills need improving. Maybe we need more creative, effective set plays. Maybe the players are more confused, or at least struggling with the instructions, than they should be. Etc etc. All at the feet of Walter.

Actually, no maybes about it. It ISN'T working and from what we've seen of opposition teams the squad really isn't the worst in the division.

I didn't say we were the worst team in the division.

Delusional. Arrogant. Not you TigerKare obvs! Pursuing with his philosophy of play, would rather lose than change. Didn’t go over to thank the travelling fans at end as he was wet & went straight inside :headbang: The travelling support didn’t have that luxury, just a long arduous car journey back, shame on Tim. Ultimate respect to our awesome away support, they deserve better.

Ever the optimist, hoping for a better performance & result Tues eve…..as we long suffering City supporters know, it’s the hope that gets us. UTT

Well said Tigress.
He is an arrogant prick who has no regard for us supporters he has to go this week it’s getting very toxic now.

After the final whistle there was a tight camera shot of Tim Walter clapping as he was walked purposefully.

I said to the lad;

“At least he’s going over to thank the travelling fan – he should have done that weeks ago”

Then the camera panned out and he could be seen scuttling towards the tunnel applauding himself
