I saw this last weekend, none of the midfield want the ball in tight spaces. They’re half showing for the ball, forcing the defenders to go back. When the CBs have the ball, there’s zero movement from anyone and nobody showing any bravery to get on the ball.

I hate everything about this Luton side, but nothing more than if Nelson wasn’t β€œone of our own”, he’d be playing non-league football. Absolutely a competition winner.

I’ve only seen him work off a target man in behind before Luton and we’ve used him as a target man this season. You can’t really excuse the chances he’s missed though. I never expected him to be the starter, and Yates has looked better than him. That’s saying a lot. A lot is pinned on AAH

A lot of hate on Wells. If your tactic has been toss balls up to him and expect to hold it up, it’s going to go like this. Need full/wing backs getting to the by line and delivering into the box. Need a forward up there with him too, be interesting with al Hamadi is eventually fit, that might work

I think CM and KN would have been better CBs yesterday, but the options are so limited. The buck there stops with the recruitment team and Bloomfield. They had two windows to prepare for Alf leaving and it’s been clear RB is an issue too.

Yesterday was helpful for JW to see what he’s working with. The hope must be that Al-Hamadi can really lead the line. Really missed Morris yesterday. A fit HO would really help to get a hold of the midfield, but the problems are going to continue until there are 2 full backs here.

Tom Lockyers level must have dropped off a cliff for him to not get a spot in that back 4

Has Bloomfield gone yet?

Major clear out needed of the managerial and boardroom needed, now. Cut the billy big bollocks stuff.

What a horrendous day. In the home end, by the Luton fans. Constant racist chanting from a small section. The game though was terrible. Conditions bad for both sides, but Stevenage had a plan and executed. We had no idea and no fight, aside from Mengi and Andersen. It was gutless and clueless.

All that tonight will do is kick the can down the road with MB. It won’t happen but I want NJ back, I want the Luton I can relate to back.

Not when you consider Gbode has scored 1 goal in 9,458 appearances. #prolific

Papers over the cracks. Probably enough to keep MB in a job. Not good enough. Nowhere near good enough.

The lesser spotted open play goal from Luton.

Deflected though, of course.

Nordas constantly runs like he’s shit himself.

Can’t wait to hear the head wobbling, crap quiffed PE teacher churning out the same shit about wanting to put it right on the training ground. Jeff off mate.

He is in your head though, so there is that.

Id say Saville and Morris are good signings. I’ve yet to see anything from the rest, but I think a lot of that is how they’re being set up by MB. He has to be done after this. I don’t think he will be though.

Yeah. That was fucking awful. Again.

And neither has Nordas or Yates unfortunately. That list could go on. Gone from some of the best recruitment to some of the worst. I remember Yates unveiling and being completely underwhelmed. That was the penny sinking on where we are at.

Agree on everything except Wells. He needs someone up there with him, Gbode deserves a shot on the basis of the weekend cameo.

Do not get the hype with Alli. He’s a shit full back and a home bargains Ogbene, just with worse end product and terrible decision making.

Richards on for fanne too.

Boring to watch, toothless in attack, soft as shit through the middle. Bloomfieldball is utter dross.

Why does Bloomfield insist on not playing a centre forward?

30.09.2025 19:28 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Sure it’s been said already, but Bradley and Collins walk into our first 11.

Yeah that could be right. It’s just frustrating. And now Shandon with his ACL 🫠
