Luton vs Aston Villa post-match thread

[Paul.S]

Luton have fought back so many times and lost at the end. Luckily we did the same and had that quality and ability to do so.
We do need to shore it up at the back but there’s not a prayer I’m moaning at another 3 points. This team just keep going and going.

Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after the curry - thats a mistake you would only make once

Yep, never go for a p!ss just after chopping Scotch bonnet peppers without thoroughly washing your hands.

Morgan Ro(d)gers is going to be the new Ciaran Clark(e)

[Bad English]

Game of two halves; we won.

[PhilVill]

Subs were far too late (needed after 55-60 mins) , Tielmans was pretty shite for the most part, Zaniolo was dreadful and too many half arsed second half performances but we found a way and 70 points will give us Champions League. If Torres plays next week alongside Konsa, we will beat ye spuds and have a better than excellent chance. Just listening to Watkins, he making it very clear that the relaxing after a two goal lead is not on, good on him...

[DB]

Blimey that was stressful 2nd half. Shoud have been out of sight after the 1st.
Beat Spuds and we go 8 points clear and they have win their game in hand.

[Richard E]

Game of two halves; we won.

We won by the same margin as Arsenal and Man City did, and got a better result there than Liverpool. Job done.

[Gareth]

Job done - despite the best efforts of Oliver who clearly had the PL directive of wanting ManYoo & Spurs in the top 5

Subs did their job, Diaby & Digne obv, Tim walked a tightrope with that idiot Oliver but he bought some more physicality that was missing for most of the 2nd half…missed Kamara tonight dropping into that back line when the heat was on.

[Exeter 77]

We made really hard work of that but some of the free kicks they got were pathetic. A lot of the ones they got down the our left their player was leaving his foot in and then going down and he got Rogers booked in to the bargain.

[Brazilian Villain]

Just grateful we got the result and the 3 points. When the goal alert went off, I was sure it was another last minute Yanited type sickener.

[Nev]

I can only assume Zaniolo got booked for being absolutely fucking shit.

Not even worthy of my early season comparison to Ian Olney.

[Olof's Beard]

I love that we score so many but we have to find a way to tighten up at the back. Two more goals conceded from set pieces but in fairness, it was much to do with the sheer volume of opportunities we gave them to stick the ball in the box. Oliver was shite but we played directly into their hands too.

We were so good at controlling games at the back end of last season and seem to have lost a bit of nous in that regard this season. Fair fucks to Diaby and Digne for coming up with a winning goal out of nothing.

All that said, 55 points from 27 games is just ridiculous and we only need a few more wins to better the best totals Little, Gregory and O'Neill could muster in our better years - and we have 11 games to get them. A win next week would be huge, let's hope we get it.

[SoccerHQ]

Phew.

That teaches me the lesson of talking about GD at half time and thinking the game was done and dusted.

We could easily have lost that in the last 15 minutes and then who knows where our season would've headed.

Still we dug in and another crucial late away win with our left back gambling on a cross at the back post. Cracking ball in from Diaby, that's the sort of quality you need from someone who cost 50m.

Hopefully Pau is fine for Spurs as we need him back in to keep the composure in the team as there was little of that once Luton won a few set pieces early in the second.

[Drummond]

Sat in the pub with a couple of mates who are ManU fans. Giving it bigun after equaliser, but that's so satisfying!

Top 5 for sure now.

A difficult place to go. Inspired subs. Onwards and upwards.
