Barely passable first half, horrific second. Beaten comfortably by a very poor Luton side, just not good enough. At various points of the second half, instead of chasing a goal, we were fannying around passing between the back 6. Brittain was a country mile better than anyone else on the pitch when he came on and Pickering had a decent game. The rest can hang their heads; that was pathetic.

Nathan Jones really is the most odious little creature in the league, isn’t he? He’s either on the spectrum for something, or he’s taken in copious amounts of narcotic substances before each game, but he literally cannot stand or be still for more than half a second. Proper annoying little shit.

I thought it was Carter's best game for us - looked very comfortable down the right. Pickering did similarly well down the left.

Wharton, Ayala and Hedges have all been missed - that back three tonight won't concede many goals (if they all stay fit).

Lovely finish. Really enjoyed our performance tonight.

Looked a shocker of a decision, that. But we've had plenty go against us, so we're due one.

As things stand (at HT), we're 3rd and 3 points off top.

To be fair, he's had a couple of decent matches - Blackpool away was the most recent. But you're right, he's been decent tonight and looks like he might be a good fit for this setup.

Delighted with that first half - I feel that this is more similar to how we'll look on a consistent basis once JDT has the team playing his way. We looked tenacious and wanted to win every ball. Pleased for Dolan to get an assist and Hedges to grab a goal. Thought we looked solid at the back and both Pickering and Carter looked very decent at either WB side. You could argue that Watford have been poor; I'd say we've not allowed them to play.

Really pleased with this - and how quickly we've moved to tie him down. Get Phillips and Batty sorted and the future is very bright.

I really like the look of that side. Back 3 looks as solid as we can be, until Ayala replaces Carter. More than enough at the other end to create some chances and cause some problems. Really difficult to predict how we'll do so far this season, but I'll err on the side of optimism and I think we'll do the southern fairies.

Based on how many fans piss off 5/10 minutes before the end of matches (presumably to beat traffic), I think you might be right. I live on the Fernhurst estate, 5 minute walk for me post-match!

We made less of a loss in this most recent period, hence their input is lower. As for the original question, I'd absolutely like to see them here more regularly. Obviously the younger son attends almost all home games, using Jack's old lounge. Suspect some of the family have been sporadically, but kept a very low profile.

In line with how inconsistent we've been this season, so far, I'm going for a win against the pie munchers. Need much better than yesterday's showing and hopefully we have a couple of bodies back from the treatment room - S.Wharton in particular. Any talk of a relegation fight is guff in my opinion, but if we have any aspirations at all for this season, we need to be beating the Wigans.

Would recommend it! We went around row 5/6 I think and it was a really nice view of the pitch.

Agreed on this - yes, he was horrendous against Wigan, but it's unfair to forget some good performances (and clean sheets) earlier in the season. As a number 2, he's fine and a lot better than some we've had in the recent past. The Wigan game sadly marked his card for a lot of fans.

Nope, signed alongside Bobo O'Brien. You can add Jimmy Corbett from around that era also.

Definitely agree that it's too early to really judge - he did well at Swansea, but (as above) was poor along with the rest of the team in other games. I see him as a decent squad member and, if he gets a run of games, you can see him getting several goals - which could be vital come the end of the season.

I've almost always been JW, just prefer the views. But I took the little lad over to the Walkersteel (it'll always be Walkersteel to me) for the Stoke game and we had a surprisingly good view of the pitch. First time I've sat in there for a long time.

You wouldn’t believe the amount of grief I took in those days for persisting with the belief that a good player was in there and just needed time, patience and development. As for when I dared to suggest that he’d play international football one day…might as well have shat on people’s kids’ Xmas presents 😁 But we are where we are and, thankfully for us, it’s worked out well.

One positive of us keeping BBD is that it puts to bed that tin-foil 'we'll intentionally sell at the last minute and pocket the money' guff. Venky's won't be bullied, we've seen that numerous times now. They have their (many) failings, but I've got to give them some credit here.

I wonder if AW's performances against Stoke and Blackpool persuaded us to drop a live target, to fast track his path into the first team? Extremely exciting prospect.

Gutted I'm missing this one - bought tickets to take the kids to a wrestling thing in Cardiff on Sat before the fixtures came out 🤦‍♂️ However, optimistic after the Blackpool performance and a win would keep us within a couple of points from the top spot. I'd go with: Kaminski Travis Carter Hyam Pickering Wharton Morton Hedges Dack BBD Hirst

I actually think that this is what will happen. Nobody will pay the asking price, he’ll sign a new contract with a release clause and big payrise and what happens after that depends on where we finish and how he does.

I was there for that game (Derby) and, without checking back, I'm sure we shuffled around halfway through the first half - and put Johnson further forward. Clear disaster, was never going to work.
