We sat back, conceded chances not goals but frustrated Forest and got their fans annoyed,luckily didnt concede then came out and salvaged an unlikely draw....sounds like how lots of teams have come to the Riverside over the years. We started praying for points no matter how we played, now people are complaing that we got a point but didnt set up and play very well.... Just look at our team: Gk - inexperienced Lwb - inexperienced Cb - solid champ defender Cb - solid champ CM Cb - promising, couple of seasons deep Rwb - 2nd first team game? Cm - solid champ cm Cm - solid champ cm, argueably losing his legs Cm - 'future captain'😶 Cm - inexperienced St - couple of seasons around champ Bench - Marv, Mejias and a couple of competition winners from Kings Manor We are chopping and changing style and personel on a weekly basis so inconsistent performances should be expected. Woody put out what he though was the best team, and to be fair he changed shaped (maybe not tactic) at HT so to say he accepted the first half is harsh. Everyone can see we cant defend, but I do kinda understand just trying to shut Forest out. I wasnt born in 86, but when people go on about it you hear of the team of local lads everyone got behind. Our mash up squad just got a point away to Forest...fine by me.

One thing I gleamed from the report from the Palace game (give the post a read if you havent - interesting write up) is that our team came out with attacking intent, pressed high and blew Palace away. Kinda like how I thought Luton was going to go and how I thought the season would progress. The golden thread. The philosophy which would permeate through all age groups to ease continuation through the ranks. If we are going to dominate Charlton thats what we need to do. Get high up the pitch, force them into panicked clearances, then start the attack again. With our defensive fraility it feels like attacking high press is the best form of defence and its a tactic I am not happy we abandoned so hastilly.

Really enjoyed the read and the seasons stats were very nice inclusions.

GAME DAY Please dont get thrashed UTB

GAME DAY I dont think they will be as open at the back as Hull were first half as they will be thinking about not losing as a priority. But if our movement and interplay as as good as that opening spell we could finally get a win, and a convincing one at that. Im going 3-1 Boro. Britt, McNair, Britt.

Every time ive seen Dijksteele he has looked like a CB playing out of position. Rather have him CB and Howson RWB with Coulson LWB. Everything else as you were.

I havent read through all the comments yet, but I am a little bewildered that we heard people boo at the end. Yes we went from 2-0 to 2-2 but it was with 10 men for quite a long time and the players that were on the pitch put a shift in.

Actually its on tele isnt it.....there may be some long delays at the crossing today...

I will be listening whilst manning the crossing on my sons train track. Hope Britt carries on and we get a nice win to really start to lift the players heads
