Well after 45 mins Smith had two chances and not taken them, in the last 10 mins we did well to survive as they had 3 good chances. All the commentators say about Smith is, he works hard he is a good lad or he is big lad, give me a bad lazy lad that scores 15 to 20 a season any day of the week. Hirst should have started tonight the perfect game to give him, Warnes obsession with Smith will cost us this season
We are playing quite well and are the better side but our final ball has been awful. A couple of good efforts from Lindsay. I'm afraid I agree that Smith isnt doing it. He seems half a yard off the pace and can't help himself giving cheap free kicks away. Personally I would change it at half time and give one of the others a go. You can see why Luton have got a few results. They work very hard.
Got to admit this team selection could bite Warne on the arris no full backs on bench 3 strikers only 1 on pitch stupid ( am prepared to hopefully eat humble pie at 940)
Funny how opinions differ. I thought we looked worse as the game went on with the extra forward. We lost our shape and were resorting to aimless long balls. We had a lot of good situations in the final third but we just arent good enough when we get there. Nothing really between the sides. They probably shaded it in the end. Now we play Preston who won 3-0 at Reading tonight. There are no easy games.
Do you think? I personally thought we played a lot better first half and looked more like scoring. Second half we created nothing and looked like we wouldn't score if we played all night.
That 2nd half was absolute garbage, Miller and Jose are 45 min players and we wasted 60 mins with that donkey Smith on the pitch, As soon as they scored our heads dropped and we had no idea, this woke culture is not what is needed at this level. We are supposed to be super fit yet Luton out ran us and out played us for all of the second half and the last 10 of the first half. We will get tonked on saturday by a very good Preston team. Why put Freddie on so late that game needed someone to put the foot on the ball in their half Sadlier was the obvious choice, I am sorry but our coaches are not good enough for this level, we need an experienced Championship coach otherwise I see us being in bottom two very quickly and because their is little belief in the players and to be honest no fight when we go behind, we will end up as bad as when Warne took us down the first time. Yes I am ranting and I may see it different tomorrow but that was rubbish. A saw nothing tonight to make me feel positive about this season.

What has woke culture got to do with us losing to Luton? And which experienced championship coach (that we could afford) would you bring in?
I am sorry Smiler nothing between the two sides, what game did you watch. We had 30 mins in the first half where we looked like we might score, after that they had so many chances, they worked so hard, chased everything and should have scored two more after their goal. I think you are seeing us through very rose tinted glasses, that second half was a very poor performance. As I said on my rant Jose and Miller are 45 minute players so we get put under more pressure down our wings and have no outlet, that is about fitness and it has been the same for 3 out of the last 4 games.
woke culture is to do with having nice people, they are too soft and this softly softly approach doesn't cut it when the chips are down, there is no fight in those players and that comes from the leadership style.
Which experience coach, not my job to find one that is what we have people at the club to sort out, but this is not the first time in the championship so there should be no excuses we are making the same mistakes, one style of play, no idea how to change a game and that makes it easier for other teams to work out how to play against us.
Fittest side in the division my arse, we were knackered after 60 minutes. Sorry but George Hirst having a decent striker as a Dad is not a reccomendation, he makes Jamie Proctor look like Harry Kane. Crooks & Smith need dropping, why haven't we got another LB, only players to come out of that with any credit are Wiles, Harding & Lindsay. Surprised the gruesome twosome aren't here already or are they sharpening their knives?
Utter garbage how can anyone on this site defend that. Outplayed 2nd half International break coming time to change manager get someone in who knows what they are doing. Hello bottom three that is where we are heading.
