Yes I’m not saying play long ball when you have Marriott, DK, and RWilliams as your targets. different outcome if you have a proper target and set up for it (which we actually did on the third goal - maybe more by luck than design)

Snowflake Royal Luton fan berating their players. Another fan tells him to shut up, scuffle ensues. Looks like Mr Grump takes one to the face.


The Football League and police are now reviewing the incident and action may be taken as a result :lol:

Even more :lol: Leam compared Derrick Williams to Bruno Fernandes afterwards.

I kinda hope the puncher gets away ok. The guy he lamped was being an arse, the puncher seemed to be telling him to wind it in and there was a kid next to him. Tthen the twat shoved him over, and a deserved punch in the face in response.

I enjoyed the commentary with it ‘Not the kind of thing anyone wants to see…’ - as I rewound it for the 20th time to laugh at it

MR. CYNICAL
Hound Tbh I’ve no real issue with hoofball. Quite often more exciting and dynamic than the overdone play out from the back etc

Obvs it has its limitations but I’d rather go forward directly and quickly (albeit with the correct profile of player) than continuously passing it backwards. Man City were one of the dullest teams I’ve ever watched at their peak a few years ago. I don’t think I could watch us under Russell Martin for example

It may get the ball forward quickly but 90% of the time it comes straight back as a defender would win it and we struggle to win the second ball in midfield as Wing and Savage are so deep.
Don't think JP is comfortable kicking long either, he's a much better short passer and likes to throw the ball out.
We only had 9 touches in the opposition box on Thursday and 6 shots, Luton had 28 touches in our box and 11 shots with their 65% possession.


I think you're spot on with that assessment.
