Who was the so called real leader we had when we got promoted?

Grabban was club captain and injured half the season. Decent pro but not sure he was what you would call a real leader either

Players who lead by example and prepared to give teammates a round of f***s when required and get heads ups at the appropriate time, I do not see anyone in the present team doing that?

Positives
- We were the better side.
- We deserved 3 points.
- we have pulled further 'clear' of Luton.
- Luton are sh1t. Can't believe some people think Luton have "3 winnable home games". I'd be surprised if they get 4 pts.
- Danilo continues to make my prediction of him being our jewel in the crown look good.
- Murillo excellent.
- Reyna showed glimpses of quality as did the young kid.
- Despite hissy fits on line, all starting line up contributed to a decent performance.
-We scored from a set piece.

Negatives
- Only got 1 point and results are everything right now not performances.
- Individual errors creeping back in. (Both goals and Murillo "save" all from errors).
- GK still looks ropey on crosses. (As did theirs).
- Subs were either like for like or looked like a drunk sponsor had been given a run out. It was crying out for a composed centre mid for last 15 minutes to ping a nice pass or two wide (Who did it at Spurs but went almost unnoticed?).
- Missed opportunity and missed opportunities.

Onto Everton.

Who did this in the promotion season? Or you just not going to answer that?

MGW did it with Origi yesterday. 

CHO constantly did it.

I’m honestly surprised that Ryan’s defending for their first goal isn’t getting more of a discussion.

Was my highlight of the game when he he shouted at Origi

We did. i think we are now favourites to finish in the relegation places

How do you work that one out?

We are 1 place and 1 point above Luton on the same number of games and our goal difference is much better than theirs.

We just need to equal or better Lutons results and we are safe. So how can we be favourites to go down?

Because they have easier games at home. Brentford and Fulham are both safe and flakey away from home. Luton are difficult on their own patch. We have the best team in the world and a talented but unpredictable Chelsea. Does anyone think we are winning consecutive games away from home after the results over the last two seasons. Everton are scrapping for their lives, Burnley still have an outside chance and sheffield utd would like nothing more than relegating us. That’s why we are favourites to go down

Not according to the bookies
Luton 4/7 - 66% probability
Forest 2/1 - 33% probability

That’s the bookies not fans of either clubs

Well let’s hope the bookies are calling it right

Shocking stuff, All Yates had to do was cover behind Omo but he ran towards the ball instead.

Yep, awful from Omobamidele as well though. Completely sells himself and lets Cunha inside. EVen if Yates was covering, your centre half needs to be stronger.

Really don't think he's good enough right now. Could do with Boly back (especially v Everton who will play very direct) or I'd put Niakhate back in.

Disappointed from Sels as well for the 2nd goal. You can't be pushing that out, it was a soft header & he gets both hands to it.

Headless chicken, he's just not good enough and he definitely shouldn't be the captain

Yes Omo could have done better but it’s footballer sense to go to the near post and not the ball, If Yates is in the right position Cunha doesn’t score.
