Luton Match Thread

Much better tonight, especially second half, short comings obvious to everyone, Hugil plays tonight we win, saw some positives, Kakay got potential to be half decent, Masterson also looks assured, both make mistakes but they will improve.

i thought Amos looked decent, negatives again, Barbet and Cameroon, both are hopeless at passing.
Assuming we lose Eze, Manning, and BOS there is a massive rebuild required, 8-10 million from the 20 plus we should get will do.

However BOS in my opinion is the one we will miss the most, Eze, talented, however not sure we will get 20 Million, 12 tops, not sure he will be a regular in a Premiership team.

Agree with all above, I don’t see Eze playing in anything above say a Watford or bottom 8 prem side. But Bos offers pace that in this league is priceless. As for Barbet he’s a liability and Cameron a midfielder

With the loss of income after lockdown, rumours that stadia will only hold 30-50% of capacity next season and existing debts of £30m I would be amazed to see anything other than £2m spent. More likely to be loans and free transfers again.

That’s probably a message that rings true but we need a lot more investment to stay up, we seriously lack quality in key areas

Only caught the 2nd half and thought we bossed it , Hugill up top we’d have won , but we’ll done to Lumley with that save at the end . We are all getting a good look at these youngsters towards the end of this season which is the right thing to have done . The jury is still out for me though on which ones have a future with us.

[Shania]

We still struggle at set-pieces, but one point is good! Well done,QPR!! kakay, Eze, Bos, Lumley and Shodipo deserve a special mention. Amos showed a bit of class also..

Ainsworth said last night that Wycombe have no money to spend on improving their squad and the same team of 34-38yr old will play next season. They are going to really struggle. All other teams will be in the same situation and its possible there will be at least another one that will go into administration. With our already low budget and hopefully some money coming in I think we'll be fine to stay up after a squad revamp. It wont be pretty but there should be three teams worse than us!!

Agree it’s obvious the squad needs a revamp after a good few years of under investment. I understand why we’ve had to go down this route hopefully next season we start seeing a bit of light at the end of the long dark tunnel we’ve been in .

Even Lumley has received praise since his return to the first team and these lads will make mistakes but seem to be learning on the job. I never thought I'd hear positive comments about kakay either, I thought his time was up and he'd be leaving in the summer, but not now. Some posters thought Masterson had a good game tonight, so there are positives there. Hopefully we have our eyes on two forwards, hopefully onr on season long loan, a foreign signing and perhaps one from the lower leagues.

Our destiny is in our hands and I suspect many teams will be envious of our low cost squad before very long. There are a lot of positives if you look hard enough.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Totally agree Sheep

Trouble is our low cost squad looks exactly that....a squad that cost nothing. I will take the draw tonight and cannot wait for this D O G S H I T season to be over.

Although I think we'll be able to do enough to stay up next season I very much doubt it will be pretty!

Firstly you shouldn’t have your best players on short contracts, that’s how Brentford, Bristol City and others in this league sell for a premium because their best players and best youngsters don’t hold the club to ransom, it’s the club that have FULL CONTROL

As for one club wanting your star players, firstly you don’t need to accept the first few offers and play hard ball. Next, I can’t imagine one club want Eze, one club wanting Luke Freeman, one club wanting 18 Premier League goal scorer Charlie Austin. I could imagine one club wanting Scowen or Lynch, but not England’s bright prospect Eze who we will inevitably leave for way too little

If the agent isn’t honest with us about more than one teams interest so the agent can get a cheaper deal and a higher agent fee, it is down to the club to spark more interest (in this case dangerous Les should step up)

Brentford’s director of football is a Lion compared to our mouse of a DOF, it’s all about smart business

We are ran like rubbish from top to bottom, nothing will change

Well put, but some don't like to hear it this way.

[stanistheman]

Didnt watch the game as I have a dreadful record of watching on a screen - losing most of them.

It sounds like a better performance, but seeing as Saturday's was a 0/10 it wasn't difficult to improve.

It's going to be a tough transfer window with a DoF like ours and the difficult circumstances clubs will face. Hopefully QPR will at least improve the squad in defence and attack so as to be a bit competetive next season. If not, it will be a struggle to avoid going down.

Good sound bites but as usual just not factual . Bos signed a 3 year deal with the option of an extra year which the club has activated .Essentially a 4 year deal on an up and coming player . Eze signed a 2 year contract extension with the option of an extra year which the club has an option to extend but hasn’t yet needed to .Essentially a 3 year deal signed by Eze . The Austin situation has been explained so many times I’m not even going to bother to repeat it as it falls on deaf ears .Have a go at the club as much as you like but at least be fair about it .

LIES & MORE PROPAGANDA AND SPIN !!!!!!

Some fans aren’t stupid and see it for what it is.

We are going to have to battle to get a good price because contracts ARE running down, you’re guessing about certain details that you don’t know unless you work for the club and then when we don’t get the right price because of clueless people involved with QPR and our DOF we will listen to your spin as to why we are all wrong and QPR got the best deal they could even tho other clubs would of got a MUCH higher price for the same player

You spin me right round rod right round like a record (I’m not calling you baby) round round round round

Thank you spin doctor

Ive been on this forum since 2009, you have since 2018 and there is no one that has ever been so strange as you, I think you work for the club trying to put out propaganda so the club looks better. What is your real name? Lee Hoos, maybe Lesley? Who are you really spin doctor ?
