    I think it would be hard to maintain with just three subs, but I’d have loved to have witnessed it live.
    Seems a long time ago now, looking at Collins passing to Sibbick who is standing 3 yards away.
    Sigh ....

    I agree, and I thought they'd brought Schopp in because it was supposed to be about continuity.

    But, apparently the press is so unseemly. So ugly. Football from the dark ages. *holds nose*

    Give me defenders who hoof the panels off the ball, rather than what I just sat through. It was Struber-at-Portsmouthesque as far as shooting ourselves in the foot is concerned.

    We certainly need to mix it up, between pass out from the back & the long ball & high press, we did the first quite well in the second half, but there was no composure when we got our chances. Best two fell to Brittain, who I think is yet to score for us? Baggio blasted a very good chance over the bar too. Frieser & Woodrow were often neat and tidy, but never got into a dangerous position all game. Luton played a cynical defensive approach well after they got the gifted goal to be fair. Back to the drawing board, but we are only 3 games in and at least have 4 points in the bag.

    It was there to see Fi, but it was Luton doing it.

    Me too. Said the same on Saturday. We abandoned it late last season when Dike came. I’d hoped we would start again but obviously not.

    Personally I don't think it matters in the slightest which country someone was born when it comes to ability to do a job.

    Correct! Oh how I wish we had English born managers like Steve Parkin & Nigel Spackman again! :D

    Was absolutely certain that when we appointed Spackman we had hit the jackpot.
