Toothless is a pretty accurate description.
The free kick at the end summed it up. Shipley floats a pretty tame ball into the box, only to be met by about 9 Luton players and 3 or 4 CCFC players.
How the fuck do they expect to get anything out of that?

We’re by far the weaker team.
We’re too spread out and not moving the ball through midfield well at all. But, the conditions aren’t helping either side in that regard. JCH is too isolated, as is Kelly at times when Bayliss and Shipley push too far up.
Hiwula unlucky for his chance. awful defending from the setpiece.

That sounded awful. Not doing anything to make me re-assess my opinion that we're never up for it in bad weather.
Clutching at straws but we only ever seem to turn up for 45 mins and we certainly didn't turn up for those. So maybe for once we'll see a decent second half? If we drop off in the second half like we usually do this could be horrific.
Something needs to change but we haven't got anywhere near enough subs! At this rate can definitely see Doyle coming in to kick some arses, probably for Shipley. Need to keep what little attacking options we have on the pitch.

4-3-3 in principal sounds fine but it never is. It ends up some strange 4 3 2 1 - we are just set up to defend

Luton walking ball through us at Will. So easy for them.
Burge please stop short goalkicks...they just not working and we put ourselves under pressure.
JCH put a shift in and try and look interested. Hiwula same. Someone get closer to JCH for when he bothers to challenge. Not won a second ball all half.
Robin: instil some urgency 1-11. And please please don’t send them out to play as deep as recent games.

Set up to try and nick a 1-0 and it’s backfired again. What is the point in Kelly basically acting as a 3rd centre back, it’s just making us concede possession in midfield. The gulf in class is massively apparent.

Haha. It's not players ignoring instructions, it's a natural instinct to make movements to areas you think ball is going to go. With JCH it's pretty much impossible to tell because it ricochets all over the place so eventually you'll stop making runs at all.
Probably our worst half of the season (that I've seen anyway).
Hiwula and Shipley very poor on the ball. Thomas, Bayliss and JCH hardly had a kick.
Grimmer and Kelly the only ones coming out of that with much credit.
Is Bakayoko injured? Because he offers so much more than Hiwula and seems harsh to drop him from the squad.

Agreed. Brown looking much sharper now and is quite calm on the ball.

Really? Goal stats incredible
You've contradicted yourself a little there.
If there is a massive gulf in class then we can't set up to go on the attack and so nicking a 1-0 win was probably our best bet (clearly it hasn't worked though)

Not even a gulf in class it's a gulf in commonsense from the managers

I don't think there is actually much in it. Luton look confident but I wouldn't say they're anything special. Our decision making is poor, we look disjointed.

It’s defense v attack. We’re sat far too deep and they are pushing us further back.
So far back that when they pass it back to Burge he’s under pressure straight away and has no time to do anything with it.
Trying to play out from the back we struggle to make it past the half way line, lump it forward and there’s only JCH and he doesn’t look interested.

If it couldn't get any more moan-worthy, CWR have mentioned Wasps about 7 times in about 10 minutes.
In fact, they've even sent their 'best commentator' to cover their game.

A performance to match the weather, set up to stifle and now chasing the game (surprise). JCH is a waste of time whatever the tactics. Hiwula looks lost on the left despite his goal, i wasn't sure but my lad is convinced it was in. Needs changing badly.

Yep:
Need to add in todays 0-1, obviously. Two of those 3 goals scored were vs Doncaster (the only time we've scored twice at home all season)

What give him a chance to buy some more forwards who can’t score. If he can’t turn things round soon a change of direction is needed.
Yes he's only got us promoted and mid-table in the league above, let's sack him for losing a few games.

No changes at HT? Surely he's only going to give it ten minutes and if it doesn't change he's got to make a sub.

I think a change of playing staff comes first.
Robins deserves time to make us better. I don't wanna hear 'change of direction' for a while yet.
