Too early to tell, Luton played mediocre at the start of last season and look where they are now.

It's only a week ago that we were laughing at Huddersfield for sacking Robins after one match of the season. Now people are seriously saying we should sack Hurst after three drawn matches? Ridiculous.
However, it must be said that it was a pretty dire performance today. I was surprised that we played with 3 at the back as I really don't think we have the players available to perform in this formation. Neither Boyce nor Nsiala is much good on the ball so this led to way too many hacks upfield. Probably Boyce's worst game for us I'd say and he was incredibly lucky that McKeown was able to save that penalty at the death as it was a ridiculous penalty to concede as there was no danger. Nsiala made a few good tackles but most were recovery tackles because he'd been caught badly out of position. I hope to see a big improvement from him this season as he's not been too good so far. Pearson slotted back in very well and was probably my man of the match which doesn't say a lot for the team's performance.
For me, the biggest disappointment today was how poor our central midfield pairing were. How on Earth was Brown awarded Man of the Match? He was poor today - barely in the game, not even bothering to challenge for headers and our passing from and through midfield from him and the others was poor. Heaven only knows how he managed to miss the open goal near the end - a certain player in our team would have been crucified for that miss, but it doesn't seem to be worth much mention on here. Clay tried hard but is distinctly average and really doesn know what to do when he finds himself in a wide position. Disley blew hot and cold a lot today as well.
Magnay tried his hardest from wing-back but, with the best will in the world, he's never going to be a great attacker. On the other side, Paddy showed he's not a defender as he was caught out of position a fair bit against their quick winger and his lack of pace didn't help. I don't put all the blame on him for their equaliser as he did at least put a challenge in but it was simply pathetic that the other two defenders took themselves out of the game by just standing in completely the wrong position.
Up front, LJL worked hard as usual and did OK I thought, especially as Connell was mostly invisible once again. Did LJL's shot just hit the post or did the keeper get fingertips on it as well? Should have done better with his header a few seconds later though when he beat the keeper to the ball. Pittman a big improvement when he came on with some pace and aggression so let's hope he can stay fit. Not sure if we'll see too much more of Connell now as three games of doing nothing must surely be enough for us to decide he's not worth keeping.
I just hope that the return of Nielsen, Hannah, Arnold and Mackreth can spur us on and give us some pep that we were so badly lacking today.
Or in other words your papering over the cracks and don't want to believe the truth which is we ain't getting out this league with Paul in charge.

Agree, how could he leave Winfarrah out after all he said about him in the week?

Totally despondent after that. The worst thing is we look like we haven't progressed from last season. Not going to write too much but it's time for a change IMO.

Let's face it . We 're shite and always will be . We occasionally have good managers who know what they're doing like mcmenemy, Kerr and Buckley . The rest of the time we're led by muppets and won't do fook all .

I don't understand why he left Winnfarah out after his performance on Tuesday. If PH sees Toto and Pearson as our strongest centre-back pairing then he should have dropped Boyce for Pearson and still played Winnfarah at left-back. The whole set-up was lop-sided. I also don't see Connell as the answer to our striker needs as he didn't impress me on Tuesday or today. Just before we scored PH was about to bring Makreth on but decided not to when we scored. Surely this was the right time to bring him on and give the Dover defence more to think about after going a goal down. Another thing I noticed was that nearly all of the game PH was consulting with Dave Moore and not Doig. Surely the Assistant Manager is the person who the manager should consult and bounce ideas off?
