3-1 defeat i see via twitter. Hopefully it was a decent performance and not to worry about the result. Maybe a good thing to have a defeat, don't want to start thinking we're invinceable! ;)

I just thought Luton were better it was as simple as that. They had some excellent players and put the Peterborough side we saw last week to shame.

We played much better in the second half which seems to be a recurring theme.

Good work out against a talented team. I was very impressed by Dan Walker who scored a hat-trick tonight.

Luton were just that bit quicker and had more quality. That said their first two goals came from us giving the ball away far too easily, albeit under pressure. It was just the quality of player that counted,but an exellent work-out for our boys who never stopped trying. Once we scored we pressed hard for an equaliser and their keeper touched one effort (Taylor I think) onto the post, and we just missed the bounce to tap into the goal. We also have a long throw-in which could be dangerous in the UCL1 and we're not going to playing that calibre of player in that division. Sometimes it's good to have a defeat in PSF, this is one we'll hopefully learn from. We do need to move the ball a little earlier, as sometimes we got closed down in possession. Great headed goal by Dev, he did superbly well to get to it and steer it into the net from what looked a strange angle. Alfie was a little quiet tonight I thought, but he was up against a better quality defence than we have faced so far.
346 was a decent attendance for a Friday, I suspect we'll get more on a Saturday.

when i pressed on treks link to luton ,a nname caught my eye,robbie dance,read his profile,i wonder who they mean?? :lol:

A quick, right-footed attacking midfielder who can play on either wing, James Dance was signed from Crawley Town after spending six months with the Red Devils in their Conference-winning season. Prior to being lured to the Broadfield Stadium by the fat, abrasive Scot, James was at K*ttering where he scored four goals. However, having seen the light, he agreed a two-year deal with us before the 2011/12 season. James is another Hatter in the Twitterverse, who you can follow @MrPrivateDancer.
