At least we seem to be still creating chances despite taking the lead this time. Orient equalising at Bradford is handy.

Agree but an equaliser seems just a matter of time

Millsy 1-0 up so yep, true to form, we forget how to play footy and it's going to Luton all the way until they inevitably score.

Doyle being left with two on the back post and not tracking the goalscorer.

Disappointing. Particularly as we'd seemed to have weathered the storm and got back into the game creating chances.

Doyle's had a couple of chances, first one a bit of a weak effort, second took a great save.

Paudie on the right of defence is on a hiding to nothing, they keep getting inside or outside Yiadom and O'Connor is so slow he's no second line of defence.

Balls up to Kelvin's feet and waist are working pretty well. He's holding it up nicely. If someone could teach him how to time a jump it would help the higher ones.

Despite being under the cosh for a lot of the game, and still not having much of an out ball, being forced deep. There's also been moments of some really nice one and two touch passing through the pitch.

Gifted a goal by their right back heading the ball back into his box to find Kelvin with just the keeper to beat and then Luton all over us for most of the half.
Fraser's job in this team seems to be to just go around kicking people and he was rightly booked as was O'Connor.

It is barely believable that this team of ours is in with even the remotest chance of promotion but LR has good luck about him even if he has made us into a very limited team.
We keep thinking that the luck will run out but will it?

Derick having a right shitter for Luton’s goal. How can a player just dink that lightweight ball over Derick’s head that easily?

Shame, as I thought we were looking pretty good for a halftime lead. Doyle has been decent as an inside wide mid and I don’t hate Savage in the AM spot. I might have been tempted to play Lane, bring Doyle into the AM and drop Fraser. But i don’t think there is much in it.

Hopefully we’ll see Patton early this half.

Just end this damn miserable season now and put us out of our agony, we`re just incapable of holding onto a lead.

Neither zonal, nor man marking. Just left a guy free and no one attacked the ball, all stood static watching.

I feel a slide to mid table mediocrity is on the cards

I'm really not sure - what is the point of all the passing about with it at the back when you end up with a long ball hoof?!

Luton are strong at home but this collapse just seemed inevitable.

Shambolic start to the second half. Very much like the Orient and Wimbledon games. Just hopeless at the back can’t keep clean sheets.

With Leam’s Q&A words in mind, it’s definitely a lack of pace that is causing us to be so toothless. Because whenever we get the ball to a rare pacey player like R.Williams, we look really dangerous.

When are Danny K and Roberts back?

Think the issue with the squad is simply a lack of match fitness, too many players coming in late plus inexperienced loans and players arriving who’d not played many minutes.

Think we’ll drift off to mid table obscurity but be back stronger and better next season.
