Rudoni tried his best there but he’s very one footed and kept wanting to cut inside rather than hold position out wide. Also considering how many defensive players are on the field, we still give away such poor goals.

Surely one advantage of 532 is to be more solid? Anyway. If Dasilva is unfit I don’t see how we can keep playing it.

Strangely I thought Rudoni looked pretty effective there

I thought that was the plan to tuck in as Binks was driving on the outside? which allowed Jack to have a overlap and under lap option?

Me too, thought he did really well.

 

[Calista]

Apparently lati was offside for the goal but I don't care

He was definitely onside, linesman was spot on

We made changes in tvs second half but we still nearly contrived to concede a goal before Wright scored

If we play like that against better teams we get hammered

If we give up one chance and have 12-13 shots we'll get hammered? Come off it. Luton are one of the better teams.

It certainly didn’t suit Kitching and Sakamoto was hopeless in the 10 role

Best bet is Torp in that role if this is the formation being played

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He did better than I thought he would for sure. Kitching certainly is not the answer there anyway.

We played well between the boxes, not in them. I am going to apologise for calling you a bellend though, just this super fan 'I'm happier than you are because I kept the faith' bollocks that's flying around on here is a bit nauseating.
That's the first time I've seen shoots of improvement all season really. Let's hope it's something to build on rather than a one off.

I'm not sure its to do with keeping the faith, I had very little belief at half time we would win but just called the first half as I seen it. First half we didn't deserve to be 2-0 down.

It's not that though is it. I'm absolutely delighted, but let's not pretend this is only 3 wins out of 12 this season.

The Oxford win was a similar last minute winner too.

Are you not allowed to win in the last minute?

When's the last time we won a game from being 2-0 down?

Today

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I don’t care if he’s knackered after 45 minutes, Torp needs to start in the 10.

Been calling for him to play there for a few weeks

Both results were fully deserved and to be honest both games were very similar performances. What we need from this team is consistency.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Kitching surely can’t start again for a while, and Tats isn’t a 10, plus he looks like he needs to get his swagger back…..

Kitching has to start ahead of Binks

I don't think anyone is really getting it. We played fairly well first half between the boxes, but we made 2 poor mistakes and these aren't accidents, they are hallmarks of our season so far and not bad luck, just bad play. They need to be cut out.

 

[Evo1883]

Rudoni LWB

 

[SkyblueTexan]

In all our wins this season, we’ve scored 3 times. 2 of those by the odd goal. While that is great, I want us to start winning games scoring just once. That would mean our defence has improved.

 

[jordan210]

Great angle of the 3rd

We should have scored at least two before the penalty anyway, and should have even scored a couple at 3-2. The finishing and decision making needs to massively improve at the front, likewise the basics have to be done at the back.

I thought he added more there. Did Haji move more central/right?

 

[Evo1883]

Real talk that was a good 90 minutes against a very tough side .

 

[Cally Fedora]

Puts to bed the debate about Wright - he’s by far our most talented forward. The difference in the game was that our 3 really good quality players had good games Wright, Sheaf and Rudoni.

Best I’ve ever seen us handle Luton in the MR era.

No sorry Binks was brilliant today consistently driving and playing good balls in.

Wouldn't be touching this back line now. Let them start to get settled

 

[Evo1883]

Best I’ve ever seen us handle Luton in the MR era.

Maybe other than the game we beat them 3-0 at their place but even then we probably weren't the best team almost all game .

Fans have to be massively encouraged by what they saw today

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That game wasn’t as comfortable as the scoreline suggested from memory.

We need to follow that performance up now and start putting a run together

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Going to mention him, Simms had a fantastic game today as a target forward. He often gets shamed so thought to give him his flowers, thought he played brilliantly. Need to see that level of effort and fire and he’ll get back his best in no time.

Yes, but the Oxford result papered over the cracks until the Blackburn game.

Today is a great result, I'm genuinely delighted as I've got a Luton "supporting" mate. However, we need to start stringing results together, not win every 4+ league games.

 

[Evo1883]

By the way, I think some fans that don't normally should acknowledge the manager made the correct changes today

 

[OldBedrocker]

Call me a miserable c**t but I still don’t think we deserved that. And it wasn’t that inspiring. Robins has got away with one there.

Miserable c**t

That will come, enjoy the win and wait till next match before worrying about consistency.

He got it spot on with the subs. One scored and one assisted

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Top class is a bit strong

improved yes

we’ve lost

4th home loss in a row

2 wins in 18 or so

Hmmm
