shirt pull on JJ there for the watkins goal

thats all they do

[Nev]

Excellent

Some very peculiar refereeing there, that 'offside' wasn't even nearly close.

We've been pretty great honestly. Rogers looks sharp, the midfield is looking cohesive, the defence is unfussy and Ollie, I mean, I just love him.

[Mister E]

Impressed with Rogers since his introduction; good movement and passing

[Rigadon]

Best first away half all season for me.  Brilliant. 

[JUAN PABLO]

Impressed with Rogers since his introduction; good movement and passing

looks a bargain

[AV82EC]

Really good performance so far. Watkins is a beast he’s got that donkey centre back of theirs on toast. We just need to find a better way of beating the press.

[Lastfootstamper]

A consummate away display so far. And Rogers looks totally at home. More, please.

Really good first half.  Only down side was Ramsey getting injured, but Rogers has done well since coming on.

That's the type of comfortable half you could only wish for, Ollie is looking deadly at the moment with two superb finishes. Luton are offering very little and the ref not great, I can see Ollie getting his hattrick second half.

Insight:
Our former player Reece Burke is a terrible defender at this level; he will foul his way through this match.
Mengi's physicality will see him fouling Bailey and Watkins in his eagerness to get the ball he can be very rash show defensive liabilities.

Stamina wise Barkley and Townsend aren't at peak now and we have the players to fly past them. Barkley is too slow despite being decent on the ball. Our midfield with Tielemans and Luiz are a step ahead.
Alfie Doughty offers plenty of crosses, but he is a plodder.
And he's even slower to get up and down the pitch.

Bailey will enjoy playing up against him as our man has the technique and skills to get goals and assist today linking with Cashy ,Ginny anf Ollie.

When did Reece Burke play for us?

I got him mixed up with Graham Burke a former Villa player I knew there was some Burke  but I know Reece is poor he been booked and should have been sent off for an elbow on Watkins but the manager Edwards has played for us .

Barkley and Townsend plodding around and Mengi is fouling every time as I suspected.

Excellent half by Watkins and Villa and Ollie could have a hat trick..
How many are we and he going to score

One thing Luton do a score and concede second half in a lot of home matches.

[Footy-Vill]

Rodgers is class.
Watkins is going to get a hatrick.

[Footy-Vill]

Andy Townsend would be more useful that Andros.
Dross by name dross by nature he and Dross Barkley.

[Villan82]

Andy last captain to lift us a trophy footy...

[JUAN PABLO]

chance for hatrick there
