    From the iFollow co-commentator on Luton players throwing themselves to the floor to win cheap free kicks.

    No, sod off. That's not fair play to them, that's cheytin'. Bugs me when any team does it, including us.

    He was stating the obvious not agreeing with it although he might have done boot on other foot etc.

    I thought the same. Hate when they praise players throwing themselves on the deck. Luton were ruthless at it tonight.

    It's become part of the game, which is a huge shame. Luton were truly awful 2nd half and repeatedly went down injured, wasting time at every opportunity. The refs never do anything about it and it now gets called sh!thousery and is widely praised by fans. Depressing.

    I monitored the 6 minutes of added time. We played 3 and a half.

    We did it last season to good affect.

    In fact in some ways, Luton’s pressing and physicality reminded me of us last season.

    That was a sobering thought…..

    Agreed. Those tactics work in the Championship. Lots of teams have cottoned on to that and you rarely seem to see a good game...
