Really tough 45 minutes to take, we've been waiting for a decent performance for weeks, here it is and 2-0 down.

Really difficult to see where many points are coming from in the next 5 fixtures after today, don't see how Robins survives much longer if we lose today looking at the upcoming matches

People won’t like this but Sakamoto has been a liability , gave away the penalty and then played everyone onside by not getting up the field quick enough for their second. He’s so often not physical enough for this league with the standard of Refs not able to protect. Spends a lot of time grovelling around on the floor.

One of the best halves we've played all season, but games are about moments, not taking one or our many half chances, then gifting them an penalty before gifting them all the space in the world for their second.

I'm really disappointed with Binks, I was against signing him, as I felt we needed someone better and more experienced, and although he's played more than Kitching this season, it's more down to Kitching being awful than Binks performances.

Kitching at left wing back isn't working, we're so one sided. Looked like Rudoni has been asked to go into the changing rooms. Could he do a job left wingback?

Any tackle in the second half and there should be 10 men around the ref. It's shameful how soft we are under Robins. Cannot believe I'm watching this.
This infuriates me every game. Nasty foul on a Cov player? No complaints from teammates. Potential penalty? Nobody complains to the ref. We're so fucking soft.

Totally undeserved scoreline. If we play with this attitude every game, we'll be OK. Half time reaction from fans was decent despite the scoreline. Luton are dirty feckers. Simms playing with more desire, which is good to see.
Exactly. I thought we played very well and no way should we be two goals behind.

Very unlucky at times today.

I still think we can get something out of this game. Need to score within the first 14 mins or so of the second half

Perfect illustration of the season.

On the ball, looking good, not taking chances and then individual fuck ups cost us.

You could see the overload at the back post from the freekick, nobody addressed it, saka gets the wrong side and panics. Eccles I think? Gets nutmegged for the through ball.

2 chances, 2-0 down.

If you think lati is playing wing back you shouldn’t be watching football. Good osbourne reference though

If you think I think that you shouldn’t be reading words.

Not sure what changes not make. Do think Norman or BTA around 60 and stick one on their back line and try and play balls in

You can only be unlucky for so long, soon it becomes we're simply not good enough.

To be honest I think we lost this when we put Kitching at LB.

Yeah, Luton are physical and JDS is 5ft. But the message Robins puts out in his actions are it’s all about Luton and their threats, and not backing or having faith in whatever he's trying to instil in this team.

It’s a psychological blow before the games even started and it’s not too dissimilar to what Tony Pulis would have done - who else does this?

Bizarrely, that has to be our best first half of the season. Sheaf excellent, Simms and Van Erwijk much improved. Sakamoto at fault for penalty and slow getting out for second goal but he holds the ball up so we'll and links the play in doing so.
Latibeudiere has had two cracking tackles. Unfortunately, Binks and Thomas have been out muscled.

The back line is a mess. Adebayo running free.
Simms has been on it tbf. We have been unlucky not to have scored a couple ourselves. But Sheaf can't run the show on his own. Sako was good but his confidence visbly shot after the penalty. Bassette might be the better option now.
However you look at it, we need to change it becuase we are 2 down.
