Comfortably our worst performance of the season this afternoon. This was the type of performance we could have had at West Brom after Eustace leaving, I suspect the initial getting themselves rallied has led to a crash and burn against a team who also had a point to prove. Dreadful for all the goals, Pears starting to make errors again too. The sooner we get Batth, Carter and Tronstad fit again the better! That and get a manager in pronto who is capable of hitting the ground running. Well done Swansea for a thoroughly deserved 3pts.
I can’t get over just how poor we were yesterday. It’s as if the players have just tossed it off and accepted play offs after the Leeds game. Well done to Hull though. Their shit house tactics to time waste, rile up the crowd and players worked an absolute treat. Yeah we should’ve got a penalty towards the end with the Coyle handball but it would’ve been an undeserved point I think had we converted.
Every time we play Sunderland I get puzzled by why Bellingham is (generally) so highly regarded by Sunderland fans. Maybe he reserves those performances for games against us, but once again he strolled around a game looking like he thinks he's as good as his brother, and being very very wrong about that.
Big one today for Watford and Luton fans. Looking to get some revenge for the away game. Feel it will be a draw. We've not won at home for a while and coming off a good win with clean sheet last week so bound to be rubbish and let a silly goal or two in.
We have a few problems still, I still don't think Mowbray knows his best team. Armstrong up top on his self isn't working. Positives that isaac Price is looking very good.
Whats actually happened at Luton? Not often a team drops straight through to league 1 from the prem ? Guessing the likes of Morris will get a move straight back to this league ?
Excellent first half ! Not so great after the break but got the win as Luton were very poor . Fantastic.
Am wondering the same as they gave the Premier a good go last year without breaking the bank to do so . How much parachute money will they have IF they get relegated to League 1 for next season & I think their new stadium is ready the season after so they'll need to be minimum in the Championship to fill it & pay back some of the investment , not cheap to build these new stadiums . Bragging rights for @Super_horns with decent 2-0 win .
I don't think Luton are even that bad quality wise, just 0 fight whatsoever. It's like they've accepted it.
They get the full 40m parachute payments next season either way, and the spending restrictions are less stringent in L1 than Championship as I understand it. They ought to bounce right back.
£40 million ffs . I know if Birmingham don't go up this season that they have to operate on 60% of their revenue but £40 m for Luton in League 1 is like being in cheat mode . It'd be ironic if Wycombe get promoted & Luton relegated with Bloomfield swapping clubs 1/2 way through the season .
Luton are so shit. Genuinely one of the worst teams I've seen at vicarage road. And w weren't even good, better team takes advantage of our poor 2nd half. Oh well. Back to back relegations luton town...
I haven't seen much of them but, on today's evidence, they don't look like getting out of trouble. I'm afraid they looked like a club that just needs to start all over again next season, regardless of what division they're in.
I'm very surprised with Luton. I know they've kept most of the Premier League money back for the new stadium which was probably a good decision because long term they absolutely have to get a stadium that's got a competitive capacity for the top two divisions. But parachute payments should still have allowed them to assemble a lower mid table squad at worst. And I'm surprised that when they were in the relegation zone in January that they didn't spend a bit to turn them around. The bottom half of the Championship is absolutely rancid with some incredibly bad teams down there. It shouldn't have taken much to turn them around but they seem to have completely messed it up.
Only the two wide players looked any good but hardly had a shot on goal and were a mess at the back where we looked like having a shot every time we attacked which is pretty rare and we had probably our 2 best attackers out with a kid up front (who has done well) and an inexperience central defensive partnership.
Watched a bit of this, Luton dropping like a stone. From what I’ve read elsewhere some non football people are influencing the signings and team selections there? Never a good sign. Mattie Pollock(Ex Boro man Jamie’s lad) putting himself about for Watford, good to see!
Poor Game friday night could see it happening all night, we've changed too many players for my liking and they don't know how to play Carrick style for me i think he deserves to stay its mental to think that he is the longest serving Chumps manager now as well Yes i would say the season is over but in the past with carrick we've gone on 7-8 winning runs so we'll see. it was a long ass day out as well Bristol left the house around 9;30am and didn't get back in till past 4:30am think it was 4:50am i went to bed. off to Stoke on Tuesday as well for my sins but i'm working away and its closer than going from home so why not family are on the bus coming from home.
