Luton Match Thread

That was a squad performance - there was no drop-off or petering out of performance over 95 mins. All the subs came on, slotted in and delivered. Frey's a beast, still charging back and closing down well into 70th minute. I was sad to see Dykes leave but Frey is actually looking like a step-up in calibre and Celar's starting to look threatening too.

4pts from two away games at teams tipped for promotion must give us confidence we CAN get a result anywhere in this division. Next thing to address is turning LR into a fortress - need to start dominating and winning home games regularly. Have the mentality that nobody gets anything in our yard.

Thought we started well, first goal shut us down.

Second half brilliant, by far the better side, our subs did not look like subs they looked like first team rotation, slotted in very well.

If Frey continues like that i'll happily eat my words, very good game from him. Like Madsen also.

We have a good squad now, some real depth so subs aren't second string. The only position that concerns me is left back, Paal has improved of late but we have no back up if he's injured other than the seemingly permanently injured Fox.

See no reason on this display to alter my prediction of another relegation battle

Fantastic result and amazing 2nd half by Frey. But the defence is too shaky. We allow too many crosses (particularly on Dunnes side) and we allow the opposition too many free headers. Lucky to have Nardi. With Marti in charge I expect him to address it.

But I think it will be a very good season! We have the making of a fantastic team.

[QPR Yorkie]

Very good result, thought we were worthy winners.

[Sleeping Giants]

We allow too many crosses (particularly on Dunnes side)

I'm a big fan of Dunne but we literally just signed a new right back tonight.

Not being funny but that little club from Bedfordshire are pony as they always have been, YOU R'S

[Darkranger]

Agree with everything said so far, Frey was outstanding, Nardi's saves kept us in it, and our subs didn't weaken the team at all. I thought Smyth was excellent when he came on, his best performance in ages.
Well done team (whatever happend to that Sky Friday night curse?).

[Harrow QPR]

Much better in the second half, we pressed , harried and fought a lot more , if this team are up for it we could be a good side but half the time we are half hearted and play at a walking pace. Frey was excellent and his battling set the tempo for the others , we were much better when Smyth came on . Lloyd needs a loan to a lower league , as does Kolli it would do them both good . We have a much better attacking threat now , with Chair , Dembele, Saito , Anderson, Smyth , Madsen , Frey and Celar and i'm sure the new boys will improve as they get used to the league. We need to start games better , be positive and play aggressive front foot football , we have enough attacking players to come on fresh if we get tired .
That second half performance was much better , Well done Rangers

Great battling performance from Frey.
Hes not the fastest by any means but gave 100%
Lloyd needs to watch him and learn that it’s the work U do sometimes without the ball that can be the difference in winning or losing games . Countless times he just watched Luton players go by him and trotted back , bust a gut man.
Thought smyth was good when he came on , loved the way he chased the left winger , caught him up and shepherd it out for a goal kick .
Proud night turning those inbreds over twice in the same week

never saw that coming!

Patience!

I know it is not something that Football fans are well known for.

but it seems reading the match threads on here after coming back from the games that we have it in short supply.

All of the new signings have come in for stick almost straight away,

Frey seems to be a good case of taking time to bed in , get fit, and feel part of the team. We forget that a lot of these players are still young and moving abroad to a new city - and communicating in a second language.

So far Frey, Nardi , Madsen , Celar , Saito , Santos, Varane - even Lloyd and Kolli have all been heavily criticised.

Last night Nardi kept us in the game and both Madsen and Frey made key contributions.

I think this is the makings of a top 6 Championship squad but they need to be given time.

[daveshads]

Great result. Well done lads. If Frey continues to grow in confidence he could be quite something.
Agree with another poster though. The defence must stop that endless supply of crosses coming over. Still...let's enjoy today. (and we have played 3 pretty decent sides)....
