Luton vs Aston Villa post-match thread

Credit to Matty Cash for the initial goal line clearance as well. Just a shame Luton were more alive to the 2nd balls.

One of the most one side games you'll ever see for the first half. We then got out muscled for much of the second half, helped by a poor ref who seemed intent on keeping the game interesting for the neutrals.

Ultimately we deserved it for that first half performance. Shout out to Emery for making the changes that win the game.

Big week coming up now.

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.

Those red scum ****** will be looking at 11 points come tomorrow 6pm with same games played. They can kiss our arse.

Zanilio is so bad, I have even given up trying to reverse jinx him. 

I would say hes up there with Drinkwater levels of badness.

He just looks like a less good Jota - the one we signed from Birmingham.

What the fuck was that disgraceful second half performance?
But, we will take the win

[Neil Hawkes]

The only reason that was so difficult was down to the Ref giving fouls for them and ignoring identical fouls on us. Ollie was held, pushed and pulled over on so many occasions - no foul.
Any of the "big six"..spit..teams getting that performance from a referee would have had an enquiry in front of the FA at the final whistle.

Danny Kelly said the same thing about Forest game last week. He said it was never a 3-2 at one stage as it was. Last 3 wins we have made it unnecessarily  hard for ourselves.

12 efffectively with -22 goal difference before they face their cheating neighbours.

Drummond - hope you give it the big un after the winner & followed it up with ‘the most annoying thing about this season is losing 6 points to their dog turd if a team’

Why did we revert to Emi kicking the ball upfield in the second half ? We seemed to just be giving possession away, which slowed them to draw the fouls.

I thought Cash was really good tonight. Plenty of zip about his attacking in the first half and then one of the more composed as we panicked in the 2nd half. The clearance was quality and deserved better.

[Villa Lew]

Well done in Villa in the end, couldn't see us scoring in the 2nd half, but a great combination from Diaby and Digne did the job, Ollie absolutely briliant first half, England's number 1 striker!

Imagine how Klopp or Arteta would be speaking after that ref's performance, even after winning. We're too nice.

[rougegorge]

I'm so relieved we won, as after totally dominating, we sat back and invited them on.

That's three games in a row we have wobbled against lesser opposition after being well on top.

Oliver gave us a couple of soft bookings.and missed some of their fouls, but we did so many fouls (nearly all of which were fouls) in the second half that we just inexplicably played into their hands.

They like a corner and a free kick and giving them so many in dangerous places was asking for trouble.

However, hats off to Diaby and Digne for that goal.

If Lenglet let's Emi pick that ball up before the corner that led to the first goal, I think we see that out comfortably. Lost our way a tad in the second half but we did what all good sides do.
