Beren Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Bobbins first half performance IMO. 2 minutes ago, M1tche said: Everytime we slow it down and think abou tthe pass, we cut them open. Agree. We can control the game, but instead we seem a bit overly-confident without the midfield dominance or solidity to back it up. Frequent complaint for me is how overly-direct we are when attacking, as though there is an NBA shot clock violation or something. A shame as I was really hoping for a comfy battering to avenge the reverse fixture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Pathetic. They gave us a soft lead twice and we have given them just as soft equalisers. We are not having any sort of possession, either to just control the game, or a steady build up. We have had about 4 counter attacks which have lead to 2 goals and that is about it. We are just not doing anything when they have the ball, just backing off hoping they’re either run out of ideas, or run out of space. No pressure other than just being a couple of yards away from them and at best between them and the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Been objectively a decent watch but as others have said it's really hard to get your head around how good we were at the back not long ago when you watch us now. Looking forward to seeing Barnes and Wilson in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Possible the most disjointed performance I have seen from us in a long time. Botman so slow and off the pace. Schar literally giving up on the second. Makes more sense if he is injured. Burn is becoming a liability against pacey wingers.have to get tino on. The possession and sloppy passing is maddening. Can't believe this is the same side that played villa. Isak aside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I know we're not winning, but that was a really enjoyable half of football. Credit to Luton they are committing a lot of men forward, which has made it a really stretched and entertaining game, feel like we should be a couple up, and that our front three have interchanged well, as we've broke really well several times.

Conjo Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just now, Jagten said: They've done a good job of fucking with our build up. That was pretty bad. We've done a pretty good job at fucking up our own build up too with aimless punts in behind tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Murphy is supposed to be RW but is spending his time drifting in... Miggy on the left doesn't work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If he dares risk Wilson and Barnes, and switch Livramento for Burn, we can go more conventional, get the counters spot on, and see these off. All depends how ready those subs really are though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Luton have surprised me and are good value to being level. We are losing too many 50/50's and look vulnerable to their pace on the counter. Barkley running the midfield for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Bring on wor Tino please. Some dude sprinted full speed for about 60 metres, stopped, met Burn, then had the pace to beat him without really straining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a problem, same with Murphy, he's doing some great approach work but then inevitably passes to the opposition or launches the ball 20 yards into nowhere.

Aiston Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just now, MrRaspberryJam said: Almiron not involved. Not true at all. His pass set us off for our 2nd goal. He's had more touches than the other two in our front 3. Our 3rd best passer of the ball and third most passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 As before, too often the positioning in midfield is off, the 3 midfielders standing in a straight line making it easy to play through, and deadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Can see why we picked Burn because of how much physicality they have on set pieces but we've conceded from a set piece and Burn has been obliterated by Ogbene so it's safe to say that has backfired.

et tu brute Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Longstaff will get headlines for scoring two goals, but he's been absolutely dogshit in everything else. Burn is becoming more of an issue with every game. I just don't know how Tino is not getting a game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Lots of people blaming us for playing poorly, but maybe there's credit to Luton for not letting us play well? When we do that to other teams and the commentators / other fans say they didn't play well against us, we're often raging at not getting enough credit. I think there's an element of that here, Luton have stopped us playing as they have against many sides this year. That's not to say we can't do anything about it and that we can't improve and cut out some individual errors, but let's not just dismiss the role the opposition have in how we've (not) played. They've harried us into misplaced passes, pressured us deep, made us make mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
