Beaten by a better side tonight

They play football from the 80’s/90’s, they just bullied us (especially with our lack of height) and showed more desire. With Ballard and batth at the back they don’t score those goals. Well done Luton, let’s hope our incremental development continues. Roll on next season.

No complaints really regarding tonight but who would have enhanced the premier league more? It wasn't them or their shitty little ground ! 😆 (I'm not bitter..)

They finished 3rd and beat us over 2 legs. They are effective and know how to win.

They are a very good side.

Bore off you Mag. Luton are an athletic, well organised team with four 6'8" brick s##thouses and their manager has them playing to their strengths. They just deserved to win through over the two legs against our depleted side. Luton don't have too much quality in their ranks. Boro or Cov will beat them at Wembley, I think.
 
They took their chances
We looked second best
However a clear penalty missed
A sending off for a stamp on Neil?

They played to their game plan and wr didn’t play to ours.


Ifs buts and maybes though it’s done.

It happens in football. We will come back stronger from this. I think Luton deserved it over the 2 legs. No complaints.

Luton have more quality throughout their side than we do.

They deserve a wembley shot after finishing 3rd.

We can build on this and I expect us to be challenging top 6 again next season.

It will be a tougher league next season imo too but every reason we can be competitive at the top end again.

Kidding aren’t you? Play the worst football out of the play off teams. Dated style, dated ground, dated everything, deserve nowt

They were better than us tonight

No point in making excuses

They could have had at least 5 with more luck, was it 3 we cleared of the line?

And how many shots did we have on target?

I’ve said elsewhere they deserve the opportunity

I’ll never believe they have more quality though but that’s just my opinion

I agree with you. They had the crowd, the passion, tenacity but not our talent.

Penalty decision ultimately cost us the game. That's given we're on our way

No way.

They were better than us all over the pitch tonight.
Rob Edwards got his tactics spot on. Our decimated team did fanatically well to win 2-1 on Sat.
Tonight was just a bridge to far for us.
Ref decisions had no bearing on it .We we outfought and outplayed. No complaints.

I agree we were 2nd best, but still had over 60% possession & a scored penalty changes the game.

And the free kick leading up to their 2nd goal was dubious at best. Neil wins the ball, is stamped on by morris yet is penalised 🤷‍♂️
