Bournemouth v Luton

[Sproggy]

Is the Luton fanboy circle jerk still going on?

Just checking.

They were dripping like broken fridges at half time.

[NewClaret]

So are Luton a badly-managed team of bottle jobs who have no organisation, heart or balls to defend a 3-0 lead now?

[agreenwood]

Is Rob Edward’s still learning?

Yes, I think he is.

[KRBFC]

Page 1 will be usual suspects posting “you see, this is why Burnley are so bad and worse than Luton”, and Page 2 will be, well, absent from those posters

They only support teams when they’re winning. Their support for Luton is just as flimsy fickle and results dependant as their support for BFC.

No, they're too busy trying to suck the smoke back out of Rob Edwards' anus

[bumba]

The same conversation over and over again, posters revelling in how rubbish we are so use this as another opportunity to remind us how rubbish we are.

We get it, we’re crap and getting relegated, we’ve heard it a thousand times already, I’m sure tinpot Luton have a forum somewhere

Are you describing this season or your posts during the Dyche era?

[Swizzlestick]

Might be best if some of you lot get a ST at Kenilworth Road next season and do us all a bloody favour.

They’ve got 7pts more than us , how badly managed does that make us ?

[jos]

“At least their travel home is paid for” says the commentator

[Murger]

Amazing that saying Luton have made a better fist of staying up than our shower means we support Luton

[Brugge Claret]

Forest v Luton on Saturday,6 sendings off and a Luton win ?

[Bosscat]

Just seen the final score ... has anyone sent for some sedatives for the Lutoninatti contingent

[KRBFC]

Are you describing this season or your posts during the Dyche era?

You were Dyches biggest hater too, stop acting like you have ever offered any support, at any time.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Honestly that will probably be the game of the weekend

[bumba]

I'll wager I've supported and had a season ticket longer than yourself. I loved Dyche until the end, you was always at him.
This number 1 fan your trying to model yourself as isn't believable

[warksclaret]

I would not mind conceding 4 goals against Bournemouth and losing 4-3, if we had 21 points on the board. Lets face it if we have 21 points at the end of the seasons its a lot more than some will have envisaged based on form all season. Lets see how Luton react in their next game-thats the acid test

[Carlos the Great]

Did Trafford play second half ? .. it’s a joke ..calm down

[jedi_master]

We are shite, no doubt about that - but so are Luton. They have relied on the surprise factor of Kenilworth Road and physical/aerial assaults on unsuspecting big boys. They’re riding a wave like Blackpool and some other clubs have done but are still, ultimately, getting relegated. Their talisman will be departing on a free transfer and they will be well below us next season in my opinion.

(Note: Rob Edwards has done a SUPERB job, none of the above is criticism of him or what Luton have achieved in even getting to this level - just in response to any comparative discussion against a terribly underwhelming Burnley this season).

[Woodleyclaret]

Nice result for the Cherries
The Alehouse brawlers got what they deserved and I fancy Forest will turn them over again
We need to beat Brentford and continue our revival started last week at WHU

I think it's the relative attitudes of the players, Luton players regardless of ability seem to leave everything on the pitch most games. There have been plenty of games this season where we can question that about some of our players. Luton would be where we are without Barkley and Lokonga this season...........but Luton spent 30 quid and we spent 100 million or thereabouts.

[chekhov]

Incredible really. Ian Maatsen heading for a Champions League quarter final. Meanwhile Nathan Tella is on his way to winning a Bundesliga title.
Just shows the luck we had with the quality of loanees last season.

that's why we won't have any problem getting top loan signings next season imho.

Could be wrong but think tella has only lost 3 league games in about 70 games.

[ClaretTony]

Only started one of our three defeats too last season, the one at Sheffield United. He came on as a sub in the other two.

I fully agree Vegas on attitude/heart etc (something I feel quite a few of our regulars this season lack in spades, specifically some of the new signings). Our spend was ludicrous for what we have got in return, but we’re ultimately both going to go down I’d say. I fancy us to return a Hell of a lot quicker than Luton who may well never be at this level again. I just think the constant praise of Luton as a stick to beat us with doesn’t serve any purpose. We have enough to criticise internally without using Luton as some sort of yardstick.

Luck? Or good management and recruitment?

[CrosspoolClarets]

Was actually out injured for the QPR defeat and hasn’t played a minute of a lost game since Sheff Utd away, as far as I am aware.

Was in that ground tonight and the memory still gives me palpitations, but its amazing Nathan’s record since (which to be fair is more on his teammates than him)

I think this game showed how important application is and the gap in relative quality. Bournemouth were on the beach first half, credit to whatever the manager said at half time but as soon as they upped their work rate Luton couldn't live with them.

[ClaretTony]

You're right about QPR - the only time he played in a losing Burnley team after the game at Sheffield United was in the FA Cup defeat at Manchester City

[CrosspoolClarets]

Just got in from watching women’s Championship at Bramall Lane (good quality and no diving), so haven’t read this thread yet, but am predicting Page 1 will be usual suspects posting “you see, this is why Burnley are so bad and worse than Luton”, and Page 2 will be, well, absent from those posters

I see I was right . Cool, Bumba and our resident Rovers fan in particular.

I’d love Luton to stay up and us relegate that Greek chap in the last game, even if it isn’t in our best interests, but let’s be clear and this is the thing fans need to understand - the gap is massive and getting bigger. We have spent about £50m, and it isn't enough. We just have to keep going.

Some may say £100m, but lets take out Beyer (injured often), take out Ramsey (young and hasn’t played), take out Tresor (only 600 minutes out of about 2,600). What is left is only about £60m and much of that will be extras, so call it £50m. Really the only big signings playing regularly have been Amdouni, Trafford, Berge and to a lesser degree Odobert.

(p.s. could have done better in the market with that cash, yes, yes, we all agree on that, but at least they are young, some clubs blow it on pensioners)

[chekhov]

Luck? Or good management and recruitment?

A bit of both I imagine. If it’s more good management that hopefully augurs well for next season despite what’s happened this.

[ClaretTony]

Just seen that it is over twenty years since a team came from three behind to win a Premier League game

[CrosspoolClarets]

Yes, league game I meant, should have stated that.

Losing to Man City away is no crime though

I don’t think it really works like that.

[agreenwood]

I had a nosey on a Luton board.

Surprisingly mixed about Edwards.

Heartwarming, no pun intended, to see Lockyer travel down, walk onto the pitch, and thank the paramedics who saved his life. Simply wonderful. He owes them a debt he can never repay, nor would they want him to.

Can’t underestimate how galvanising the effect on Luton was, a shame if it isn’t enough. When it happened they were 1 point ahead of us. Since them we have dropped 6 points to Luton and only 2 to Everton and 4 to Forest, so Luton have outperformed us all since then.

[CrosspoolClarets]

I don’t think it really works like that.

It does work like that in terms of assessing the teams chances to win a game. Which is basically what all the chat on here does.

Money spent on non-playing players, either as a future investment or a fall back if injuries occur, aren’t as relevant as money spent on a regular starter. Of course, the poor investments may affect the club in the future, but that is a different issue.

[Vegas Claret]

who was it/ what game ?

[northeastclaret]

Bumba,CoolClaret, Casper2, StayingDown4Ever,CarlosGreat etc etc your boys took a hell of a beating

Must have ruined your night.

[Jamesy]

Nice result for the Cherries
The Alehouse brawlers got what they deserved and I fancy Forest will turn them over again
We need to beat Brentford and continue our revival started last week at WHU

Good luck with this. You are coming across as a bitter big time Charlie calling them ale house brawlers.
It’s quite sad really. Plenty on here ignoring our massive deficiencies to have a pop at Luton.

[distortiondave]

Without cheating, I remember Man Utd beating Spurs 5-3 from 3-0 down. I bet that's 20 years ago.

[JohnMcGreal]

It might have been a little over 20 years ago but that was the game of Ferguson's infamous half time team talk:

'Lads, it's Tottenham.'

[Vegas Claret]

oh yeah, now you mention it I remember that, I think Beckham scored in that

How's that? There still doing a lot better than us and still have a chance to stay up
The only ones taking a beating this season is our team

[CoolClaret]

Surprised Luton have gotten as far as they have in all honesty -

That's the sort of result that can totally deflate and take the wind out of a team in Luton's position.

It's still impressive that they've been able to get results with their squad that (Barkley aside) is absolute Championship fodder.

[Jakubclaret]

I know it's a depressing state of affairs but when you get down to the bones of it they are 7pts better off & only 3 pts from potentially staying in the division that's the reality & as a Burnley fan it's nothing to feel good about.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Match threads on here are always entertaining.

Didn't expect one not involving us to be right up there I must admit

[Woodleyclaret]

Kick opposition,cheat con Luton are definitely a team to admire?

[jlup1980]

That has to the bottle job of the century?!! 3 up at half time and losing 4-3. Wowser!

I've been impressed with Luton this season, as many have been. They're clearly a limited team pulled together on a shoestring budget, so they hark back to the first promotion under Dyche for many, but that's a shocker last night; a season defining shocker.

It'll go down as their "sliding doors" moment. A bit like the Leicester game where Taylor missed the penalty for us and they went straight up the other end and won it. We all knew that the season was done in that moment.

The bottom three is nailed on now. Mentally, they aren't coming back from losing from that position.
