Ell not getting anything after having his shirt pulled by two defenders in a row... not a great start from the ref

Did you expect better

I think it's a physicality issue as Luton can be fairly brutal. Burgzorg can dish it out in abundance. Maybe the plan is for Delano to soften them up and then bring McGree or Jones on when their RB is on a yellow 🤔 

I don’t think Carrick fancies Jones on the left. I have so far seen nothing from Burgzorg to see why we signed him. I am sure every 12-15 games he will score (probably a worldie) but there’s not enough there for me.

You’re right in the physicality the CBs will definitely need to be up for the fight today 

Luton will be lucky to finish with 11 players if the first five minutes are representative of their approach to the game. I've seen less agricultural combine harvesters.

Anyone having trouble with Sky +?? All the other games coming up OK.

Luton imposing themselves which I expected

No I went to the EFL strip on the top and chose from there

Almost A nice bit of play between ELL & Doak there. Just went too soon (as usual).

Thanks.

Luton’s shape doing us. Pressing Hackney and morris. Poor start 

I can see us shooting ourselves in the foot at the back through sloppy passing.

Nothing new there then?

A low quality affair so far like 

They're pushing up so high

I'd like to see Doak make some central runs in behind as Latte Lath drops in 

Playing some tidy stuff on the ball without really threatening. 

Well, fairly steady opening 10 minutes or so.

Neither team doing anything really noteworthy.

Boro putting together some nice moves here and there. Luton doing some bullying and occasionally looking threatening.

Luton score a lot early on so I think this start is probably by design. Need to start threatening though.
