    Was always a good game, usually plenty of goals. Luton had cultured players like Bruce Rioch pulling the strings for them and they always played the game the "right" way. They had some success with it as well. So what has gone wrong?

    Is it that little Welsh guy who rants and raves on their touchline? Does he shout to his players to hit the deck, and stay down, at every given opportunity? He fielded a team of athletic weight lifters tonight and our ten stone weaklings had no answer to their physicality and, as ever, the referee was blind to the worst of their excesses. What a difference to last season when we had the likes of Dike and Morris muscling the other team out of their stride. Without those two we are back to the bad old days of punting high balls to no one, or a defender more likely, and no real Plan B to get around that.

    Actually, to be fair, the second half was better and we played a lot more football but it was, mostly, ineffective. I wish Brittain had someone overlapping him to give the ball to because an accurate crosser he definitely is not so far this season. Look at those peaches of crosses he put in last season - where have they gone? I blame the hair. He needs to get rid of that scraped back pony tail look. It's blurring his vision, or something.:)

    Laughable when our bench got carded for one decision when Jones had done it all game. If Coventry thought we are shithouses wait till they play Luton at home.

    Hate footballers with man buns! Have to agree that his crossing in both home games so far has been woeful.

    Yes I thought that as well. Maybe Jones's screeching is so high pitched that referees cannot hear it. Not even the useless one standing in between the dugouts.

    Not sure where Brittain was for their goal?

    I imagine Luton won't give no fvcks that they're not a poundshop Man City.

    The objective is to win. Everything else is for the birds.

    Unlikely we will be complaining I suspect. When you have no money to buy players you have to find other ways
