Heart issue

Christ. Couldn't really tell at the time but knew he had gone to hospital.

I couldn’t tell either, at the time I thought it was a head injury and he was knocked out cold

 

[Evo1883]

Yes that’s true. They dominated the first half but then seemed to retreat and defend the lead. When we scored I thought we could go and win the game but created nothing afterwards really

Felt like losing hamer was ultimately the key

That was a pivotal moment for sure

 

[Londonccfcfan]

That was a pivotal moment for sure

Hes carried us week in week out. A bit like Gyokores.

It was inevitable both (vik been carrying injury) and Hamer were gonna crack.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

They gave it everything. Single handedly almost got us to the premier league.

 

[San Francisco]

It was weird seeing quite a lot of Luton fans leaving at the same time as us. If ever there's a time to hang around after the final whistle

I’m sure most of them are lovely people but on the day they were shocking in terms of support. Only started singing after they scored then died down again for the rest of the match until they won.

Unbelievably quiet considering the occasion. We were much better and louder.

 

[Boosh]

Thought BNC did well, if we were to get him, McNally and Esbrand back we would at least have some continuity in the back 5. I fear we have an awful lot to do this summer before even considering upgrading on Godden, Allen, Wilson, Fadz etc

Agreed. This is our most important transfer window in years

 

[tommydazzle]

He didn't save them cause they ended up in the net... really small margins. The off side was very tight the handball in the first half wasn't particularly obvious (unlike the 2nd one). We are all gutted.

The second one - I believe if he’d had the presence of mind to square it to his unmarked teammate with an open goal - it would have counted.

 

[tommydazzle]

Never a fan of penalty shootouts. Keep playing - sudden death, my preferred option. At least live and die as a team.

Survival of the fittest.

I think you are right all really tight margins and split second decisions!

 

[Otis]

It’s a horrible feeling, but you go to games for the emotion and the drama. A drubbing has none of that, it’s just shit.

Yeah, it's shit, but my doctor told me to take it easy and not get stressed out.

That was very, very stressful

 

[shmmeee]

you play football to win matches

you create a system of play to suit you. Pace is a weapon and we lack it so it would always be a problem if we let them get behind us

Middlesbrough said the same about us and they dominate possession

Possession stats and passing stats win nothing and a fan just wants to win football matches

I pay to watch football to be entertained. I don’t own a club.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Do you all still want to carry on kissing Luton’s back side? Fucking tinpot cunts

not sure why you’d follow Luton Town on Twitter when you have these anger issues against them

you also don’t sound like a fan

 

[croatskyblue]

know what you mean but I’m pretty sure everyone would have taken a horrible, niggly, dire 1-0 win yesterday

Well it's not Luton towns job to entertain Coventry fans. I'm sure Luton fans found it very entertaining

You must have been pretty disappointed with some of our football towards the end of the season

 

[Grendel]

We were dull as fuck against Middlesbrough I’d rather we lost 5-4

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah sure in a one off game or even like this season or first up when needs must, but as an identity for a football club? No way.

I was. But as I said needs must. We are also capable of some lovely football and haven’t just been a kick and rush and beat up the opponents team. In the same way I’d rather see Luton and City do what they’ve done than watch a team built by an oil baron.

 

[Evo1883]

I'd be interested to see which players Luton release

 

[shmmeee]

All the talk on their side I’ve seen is take the hit, fund the club for years to come, and keep hold of the nucleus of the side.

How dare they tweet their manager kissing the trophy…. Doubt we’ll see Man City doing that. Not sure what you’re expecting a team would do in that situation

nobody told you to follow their Twitter. Just don’t be a shit loser man, all that needs to be said is, well done Luton and move on. Be gutted, down and depressed - but don’t throw your toys out the pram

We’ve blocked teams out a lot and happy to concede possession.

I think it’s more the “Woke up this morning feeling fine” but…

 

[shmmeee]

Yes. Because we lost our entire midfield and for large parts our striking options. We didn’t set out to do that and we have a team of good footballers who can play some great stuff. The goal yesterday for example. Yes as we tired and injuries hit we had to do what we had to do to get over the line, but it’s ludicrous to pretend with a full squad that’s what we’d have done.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

there’s still no need to be so precious, it’s Tongue in cheek. I’m sure we’d have done similar if we’d have won.

football fans are ok with banter as long as they’re not on the receiving end.

Christ. Couldn't really tell at the time but knew he had gone to hospital.

In the picture of him in hospital he has a temporary pacemaker on according to a medic I know

Yeah I’m not bothered about it. To the victor goes the spoils and all that.

How is posting a picture of their manager kissing the trophy tinpot?
