If Thomas could shoot he would be some player

Really? Watch it back. He did well to hold it, with a forward waiting for a spill. Any Sunday league keeper saving that would have been at the bar going on about that for the next few weeks.

I was clearly on about the one he let in as that was what was talked about in the post I quoted.

You thought we’d finish top 6? And Burge has let us down and is the reason we are performing so poorly

Have I missed when I’ve said we’d finish top 6? Or am I misunderstanding your reply? This season was always about consolidating in this division and never thought we’d be challenging up the top

 

[sw88]

Crikey I didn't realise you are that old. :emoji_older_man:

I missed off the ‘or so I’m told’ bit although sometimes watching City makes me look almost 100!

Has anyone rewatched the Kelly Elbow apparently there is also a stamp the ref missed.

The guy looked to kick him as he landed from the header. Didn't see it as a stamp

Fair enough - apologies!

 

[Magwitch]

Good point against the divisions best team, their goal from a corner which should have been a goal kick mistake from Burge bread and butter save and no-one on the post. A stonewall penalty not given from a weak referee. Not ready for championship imo need another year yet.i admit I’ve scratched my head a few times re MR but slowly but surely he’s developing a decent looking team for the future......let’s hope we have one.

What a point to take!

Bad day at the office for Luton thankfully.

Harsh on us.

They started very well. Then we neutralised them. Credit where credit is do. Robins clearly did his homework.

Burge... Should have saved the goal, and a couple of times looked clueless from corners. But then some good saves at the end. Need to see if we can improve on him in the summer.

I don’t think I’ve been harsh on us. If Luton were the usual clinical selves then they’d of been convincing winers.

The back 4 were mostly ok over the game collectively, but the midfield as a unit were largely passengers in the game baring Kelly who’s coming away with any recognition today.

Bayliss (for the second week) and Thomas were largely ineffective this week while Hiwula was isolated for the second half. Enobakhare’s decision making to often let himself down

Felt a pairing of Meyler and Kelly would of been a better unit to start the game with a introduction of Bayliss later on could of been more rewarding.

Still we taken a point, and 4 unbeaten. We’d of snatched that this morning so we move on content.

Definitely a stamp. Puts his right food down with force. I’m not sure he connected, there was no reaction from Kelly. Intent was there though.

Luton didn't really have that many chances? The last 5 mins yes. But it wouldn't say that's not clinical. They usually create a lot more and a lot more gilt edge chances. Which we didn't let them. Hence I said harsh. We made them look worse than usual.

I do agree about bayliss. Although i have said it all season that I think he has been largely poor. He does however seem to be on of the few that can flip a game on its head...

They put a couple just wide too earlier one, one should have done better.

Not complaining with the point though!

Yeah they did have a couple of drives from deep early on (was worried it would happen all game), but thought we took that space away from them as the game went on.

Robbins seems to have a strategy that, probably in order to manage the various egos in the dressing room, he adheres as far as possible to keeping the same team if we have won the previous week. It makes it clear why people are or are not in the team. The trouble is home to Walsall is not the same as away to Luton. I thought Meyler for Bayliss was the obvious change to make to the starting line up.

Mind you, Robbins can not unreasonably say that his choice, and that of putting on Shipley and not Meyler was vindicated....

 

[Warwickhunt]

Well, you worked hard for that point, nit sure why you give Burge such stick,, thought he was pretty reasonable, the defense were on holiday for our goal. Both of us should have had a penalty and yes are team our quite physical and do wrestle in with the best of them. Shame we took our foot of the pedal and relaxed in the sun when we scored, you took advantage and we could never get it back again. Not the Hatters best day, we had more than enough of the ball but a spark was badly missing in the middle - doesn't work for us playing Hylton and Collins together. Hope you pull out of your financial difficulties, good to chat

Thats the problem we dont have finacial difficulties we just have C&^%S as owners causing all this greif

With Bayliss he can take multiple opposition players completely out of the game with his driving runs. He would have been far more effective if that prick Enobakhare had released the ball to him on more than one occasion. He also needs some better movement ahead of him at times, often it's only Thomas looking to run in behind. Needs more of that.

Watching that highlights video, Luton had about a dozen chances to our 1 !

Couldn't agree more, Enobakhare holds on to the ball far too long on occasions and it's noticeable how much momentum that withdraws from our counter attacks. He's a good player and his close control and ability to turn into space is excellent, but needs to get his head up much quicker to help Bayliss, Thomas etc as you say.

Does he deserve to be called a prick? You do know he plays for your team?

Probably not, I see him playing mostly for himself mind you

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Personally I’d play Bayliss in the forward role instead of bright and put meyler in the middle with Kelly. Bayliss is just as creative and has more to his game.

I think Bayliss could still turn and ghost the player but 15 yards up the pitch. It means we need whoever is up front and out wide to be making the runs in behind to either drag the defender out the way for Bayliss to shoot or for him to put them through.

Off point but good result so far for Shrews v Donny (if we're clinging to half a sniff of 6th place).

You’re not supposed to say anything until full time.

you clearly have it in for him.

Maybe because he doesn't 'stay in his lane'
