I'm still struggling to get my head around Saturday. It's a squad with plenty of talent, too, I just don't get what's not clicking. I think Luton were impressive to be fair, but we were just SO passive and lacked any form of edge
There is a lot of talent, but we can't ignore that we've struggled against every "better" side we've faced so far. I'm not sure how we bridge that gap! We've had a lot of time in training before this game but the Luton players knew and executed their jobs a lot better than ours did.
We did make it easy for them though. They seemed to block our route out of defence, and when we panicked about what to do they pressed us and won it back easily. The lack of professionalism was scary at times, even from players like Scowen and Cook. We need that dominant leader that Duff wanted!
We have a lot of technical talent, but we seem to have zero footballing-intelligence in our squad. It felt worryingly like Dodds-ball. The players are doing what they are told, but it clearly doesn't work and they aren't good enough to limit mistakes. There was at least effort on Saturday though
