Their fans don’t think so.

Sounds like a great model to follow.

England, Chile.

If any proof was needed that Venkys don't follow the club, here it is. I'd be livid if I was paying a players wages and International teams dictated when we could and couldn't play them.

WARNING * WARNING * WARNING *

Jim the Albatross will be attending and I haven't seen us win away for a long, long time

Well there you go..... should have put money on it

A depressing day

Rovers were depressing

Kenilworth Road was depressing

Luton the town they forgot to bomb (come Armageddon) is depressing

Today was as bad as anything under Mowbray

More thougths later

I gave a bit of slack for tippy tappy nonsense against Stoke, but to repeat it here again shows JDT is just stupidly stubborn. This second half we've invited tons of pressure by playing pointless short balls from keeper to centre halves. 

This

Absolute madness those first 20 minutes of the second half

Ayala and Wharton and Kaminski brought that defeat on us

And JDT for letting them do it

Luton raised their game for a short period and we caved in

The rest of the 90 minutes was a load of nothingness

I feel more depressed than after the Reading game

You're telling me. 

You have to hand it to Nathan Jones. 

After a dull first half he just told his side to get in our faces and we duly capitulated.

Ayala does my head in ..... almost all the pressure came on us because he likes poncing about with the ball at the back. Kaminski is as bad

It took us to about the 70th minute to get in their half

I’m not so sure that he likes it, more that’s how he’s told to play. When you only have two in central midfield it’s hard to move the ball forward centrally.

Your opponents only need three in there, two to mark up and one to pick up the pieces.

Yes but Jim was telling us the other day that he’s a Jonah were Luton are concerned.

Has this been said? As in, we didn't play him today so he could have 90mins in prep for the upcoming international games?

He played today for the U-21’s, just as easy to get injured in that game.

Yes I saw that, but to be honest I can never remember us winning at Luton and I’m sure Jim wasn’t at them all.

Brittain was a country mile better than anyone else on the pitch when he came on

Brittain was our best player and our most potent attacking threat. The lad's a proper footballer

The rest didn't turn up. Brereton was abysmal

The Germans bombed Luton in WWII.

And another thing

Before kick off for the second half Luton were going through a load of drills, sprints etc getting ready to play

Our lot were standing around

Guess which team started the half on the front foot?

You didn't get there early enough, Jim.

We go through a whole host of pre-match drills. It's far more organised than the last guy.

It sounds like he was there by half time though.
