If we stick to what we’re good at they will tire and we will take advantage.

We need to notch it up too.

Barnsey needs to get on his game every move breaking down as soon as he gets involved. Need him back on his recent form.

Massive chance for them. Had to score.

If only there was a block facility

Should be losing. Not seen us this bad in a while.

They should have scored then

Got away with one there.

We are not sharp, but Luton's pressing is not giving us any time to control possession. We have gotten some pockets of space in their half but haven't been able to make the passes.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:40 pm

Dont like Gudmundsson outwide at all, we've been really poor so far, barely got our foot on the ball.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:40 pm

Get to half time intact and go from there……hopefully!!!

I'm sick and tired of that whistle.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:43 pm

They are a typical old school ‘orrible championship side! Nowt wrong with that, very much what we used to be like.

Pitch looks dry and bouncy.......affecting our control?

Yep, pitch + whistle happy ref + Luton’s press making it very difficult for us to play

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:44 pm

Can they keep it up for 90 minutes though.

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:45 pm

We've got Barnes playing deeper behind Tella and JBG ?

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:45 pm

Kicking off at Everton. McNeil being restrained by a Steward apparently.

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:45 pm

Tactical change is needed at half-time.

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:45 pm

They were big and strong in the first match, going to be tough

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:45 pm

We need Zaroury's pace. JBG and Barnes are too slow up front.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:45 pm

Get to half time, regroup and hopefully exploit their first half exertions in the second half.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:46 pm

Twice the ref tells Doughty to retreat to take a throw-in. When he throws it in again he reverses the throw and gives it to us. Should happen more often.

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:47 pm

What a clear dive!

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:47 pm

Get Obafemi on

I agree, loos to have a good bit of muscle

HiThere · Post by **HiThere** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:49 pm

Well Luton are certainly not a footballing side.

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:49 pm

So poor
Tella and Zaroury out wide and get Barnes up the middle

Masham Ale · Post by **Masham Ale** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:49 pm

2 mins added!!!! there were 3 mins stopped for Lutons double injured payer alone. absolute joke

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:49 pm

The space is behind the full-backs, get Zaroury and Tella wide, like against Preston.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:49 pm

Tough half. Combination of the team selection (no width without Zaroury/Benson), driest pitch I’ve ever seen and Luton’s intense press. Defended well enough in the main aside from that one big chance.

And we are not looking much like one either

We have to get on the front foot

Our passing is much better than theirs, even though it's lower than most games.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:52 pm

Happy to be level at the break, as expected Luton have made it difficult, however they'll struggle to maintain this press for 90 minutes, and we have plenty of options off the bench to trouble them as they tire.

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:52 pm

They're an ugly side

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:52 pm

That was very poor. Luton pressing making it a stop start game and another shite referee AGAIN. Need to up the ante in the 2nd half

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:52 pm

Three games with teams that are similar. Watford, Luton and Millwall. We should be getting used to it now.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:53 pm

Missing Zaroury and it might not be a popular opinion on here but despite some of hos recent good play to many moves slow down or break down with Barnes and we are just not as fluid with him coming deep as we are with Jay.

Id have Zaroury for JBG and Obifemi for Barnes. That said Luton are executing their gameplan very well and one goal could definitely nick this

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:53 pm

Slow. Poor ball control. No width. Not sure what position JBG is playing. Like a poor D2 game. Sunk to their level

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:53 pm

Tella having one of those quiet games. He's had them before and turned it round.

Glad to get to the break all square. Not sure which changes I'd make but as things stand, Barnes and Tella could both be replaced. A risk when we don't really know what we've got with Obafemi and Foster (if he's on the bench). Expect Zaroury at some stage.

Thoughts?

This. Although I think we need Barnsey’s physicality for defending set pieces.

Whitgord · Post by **Whitgord** » Sat Feb 18, 2023 3:53 pm

Tella looking very lightweight against their defenders
