Failure to sign striker cost us


Well done to our players and Tony Mowbray for working miracles with the players at his disposal.
Lot of nonsense posted about tactics or players bottling it.
The cold facts are we were unable to counter their high press because we had no option to play long.
The reason for this is the abject failure to sign a decent physical striker in January.
Those responsible have let down the players who have performed amazing the manager and the supporters.
You need the tools to do the job.

Shut up about Johnson Clarke-Harris man
 
Following the so called Brentford model?. But they had no choice. In league 1 they were getting gates of @5000 or 6000. Slightly better in the Championship.

We did better than anyone expected. We actually performed better without a striker. It's been a strange season and there's no one reason why we have done so well and no one reason that we haven't gone up. If Ballard and Batth were fit we would probably be going to Wembley. In the end it was injuries to defenders that cost us.
 
Here we go again

They tried to sign loads. None came off

They can't just magic the right player out of thin air

Better to sign no one than to sign the wrong player
.and as it transpired , scoring goals wasn't a problem


Exactly
Tell me why we could not escape their high press last night.

Absolutely correct 💯👍

And 2 proper central defenders is not enough.
Little old Luton had 2 playing , one on the bench and one who didnt make the squad.
 
Here's me thinking it's because we didn't have a defender over 5 ft 10 🤣
No that was why we conceded goals. But when our defenders had the ball they pressed us high up the pitch , kept pinching the ball because we had to play through them because we had no option of going long.

We could not even cross the ball because there were was no presence in the middle and only 2 big centre halfs is not enough as well.
