First Cov Game: I am not sure but I am told I was four at the time. The first one I can remember was the home leg of the Trakia Plodiv tie.

Great performance today and as I said at half time we were unlucky to be losing. Showed real spirit to come back and I it was really heartening that the crowd stayed with them and supported Robins.

By the way what a player Haji Wright is. He must be close to a move to the Premier League. Absolute menace to Luton all match. Five goals in eight starts in a struggling team this season after 19 goals last. He and van Ewijk are our best players.

By far Torp's best performance. He strikes the ball so cleanly. Happy for him to shoot from distance but I wish we could ban Sheaf from doing so.

Best referee of the season. Didn't fall for players going to ground when they had lost the ball and got all the big decisions right in my view. And clearly indicated that time was being added on when Luton were wasting time.

Absolutely agree about the referee.

The linesman did well with the Wright goal too.

Easy to slam officials but credit where it's due.

Haji Wright is so dangerous when he turns the opposing defenders. Great pace and uses his body well to get the wrong side of the defender.

I thought Tats did well in the 10 position. Interesting to see Rudoni on the left.

Robins still has work to do to find an ideal lineup.

I live Binks and Lati at the moment, feel like they have leadership qualities.

Which is strange cos in pre-season I'd definitely have chosen Kitching and Thomas as the 2 main centre backs

Rudoni did well as LWB and he looks far more at home there than no 10 where I feel he is a bit wasted. I wasn't so sold on Sakamoto at no 10 either and would play Torp there, who looked so much better yesterday. It's odd that pre Sheaf’s return Torp was playing deep and Rudoni forward. They seem much better the other way round.

Rudoni is a good crosser of the ball so makes sense for him to operate wide and he offers something different there. I guess the question is can Torp be effective as a starter for us. Evidence to date suggests not but yesterday he looked much stronger and fitter.

Oh and I guess I should admit I was wrong about not wanting Simms to start. But that was the first time this season he has shown any aggression in his play. This version of Simms i can get on board with but too often he plays far too passively and he doesn't have the ability to get away with that. He has to use his strength as it is his only real quality.
