In retrospect, how did we even beat Newcastle and ManU with this team last year?? The holidays sure bring miracles.

Hearing Brian Laws voicing strings of random words on RN is like a throwback to Professor Stanley Unwin** in full flow.

He's impossible to listen to, it make you feel like you've received a head injury.

But there’s more scruffy late goals go into the back of our net than practically every other premier team so why would you set up a second half to invite the other team on. We don’t close down the space well enough to keep teams at arms length so it’s a recipe for disaster.

Origi was crap, Sangare was - again - poor. For all the money we've spent (and let's not forget that the amount of money we've spent will likely cost us docked points) we're still poor at game-management, defending and set-pieces, and we regularly make individual errors that cost us precious points.

If we had Lewis McGugan when he was fit and mentally on it, we'd have won/drawn a few more games this season based on set pieces alone.
As many supporters quite rightly mention here on a regular basis, set pieces are a huge factor in tight games, and the fact a new set piece coach has been unable to improve anything at either end of the pitch is a huge failure this season.

I actually agree but we have to stay up first

I think he'll be in trouble if reaches 1 in 14, next two games are vital.

I look at these things and can see why some would gain some postives but ultimately it means nothing because you realise we need to take advantage of it but probably wont.
At times like this I look at Forest, not other teams.
I just wished I had some confidence in us at this point.

If MGW had Lewis's ball striking ability he would be an elite level player. Sadly he doesn't.

Agree with you to an extent - the constant churn in players, volatility in performance and uncertainty - both on and off the pitch - hasn't helped. Along with the FFP sanctions much of it is down to off-field management which has a lot to answer for.
Id have taken a point before the game, but as always the way the game develops always makes you think differently. Luton away is notoriously a very difficult game this season for every team. But not losing, and stopping the negative rot we’ve been on is more important to me. LETS SEE IT AS A POSITIVE. Coyr

I think, as it stands right now, a draw is a much better result for us than Luton. They needed to beat us.

We had to win, we didn't.
Points Deductions, Refereeing Decisions, Injuries are all a smokescreen for the fundamental fact that we're f***ing wank at defending.
Luton are us last season, we're now Leicester last season.

Yes the huge flaw in the optimistic point i make is that we also need to pick up points.
Having a single striker fit and that single striker being Divock Origi means perhaps I'm starting to see the error of my ways already!

The Artiste formally known as "Wanksy"
I genuinely question how much research he puts into stuff.
He missed the Niakate failure, he didn't think we needed a new keeper until the last week of the season, he's only playing Toffs coz Taveres is injured, he played all our best players for as many min as possible in poxy cup games, he has a set piece coach he doesn't use despite being awful at set pieces etc. add that to the point you made and it feels like he's only half arsing or has a complete lack of awareness it. I just don't get it.
Could be wrong like, but I just don't get how he keeps missing so much stuff.
I'd say it's down to a bunch of Mercs upping their game knowing that they needed to impress to keep their names and careers relevant. Marinakis has created a mercenary culture (he started it at Karanka tbf, but Murphs & Coops changed it). Football's Merc orientated anyway as we all know, but cycle players through a club like he does ours and you've no chance at building a feel-good factor. It works better at big clubs because those best players are the ultimate professionals, but not at clubs like ours where we do our best with lesser players. Marinakis is dumb and still hasn't grasped that after many years here. His money is a good fit for us, but not his ideals.

Indeed it was Deep joy, deep joy looking like deliriocity at the prospectimo of 3 most important pointaveras at the finale blowy, blowy until the sad, sad aspecto of globalar disappoint to see the rotundo nestle most gravely at the rearapart of the crisscrossy catchy thing...
Brian Laws’ post match attempt at lucidity was its usual self until he stumbled upon the coherence to remind us that we’ve only got half of these players because they’ve failed to convince bigger clubs that they can be consistent in their performances. It’s a fair point. Elanga, CHO, Origi, MGW could all have that levelled at them. So we get patchy performances and results.
Par for us I think is stuttering form in the bottom half but never quite in danger. Like a Palace. There’s a multitude of mitigating factors to explain why we’re in the band below that, but overriding feeling for me is that we’re weaker than the sum of our parts. And that leaves a filthy taste in the mouth.

This is the weird thing isn’t it. We all know MGW has some amazing aspects to his game but he’s no Ward-Prowse with deliveries.
It’s been like that for ages now so why do we persist with him taking them. In that starting 11 today is he really the best we can do for taking corners? I’m just amazed we haven’t gave something, anything, else a go.

Agree. Whenever McGugan would stride on to a bouncing ball on the half volley, the ball would always have a chance of hitting the target.
With MGW, you know straight away the ball is going to fly over the bar. If he could improve his ball striking, he'd be at Maddison's level.

For this alone he should get the sack, look how we concede goals every f***ing week!
