Really? So you think Cocu advocates grabbing the ref and getting sent off? Well done blame the manager. 

It’s been like it all season. Petulant behaviour, Joiners incident, giving up when we go behind away, Malone off, Bielek off, Lowe off. The worse season I remember for ill discipline.

You don’t put your hands on the Ref, no matter how poor you may think he is!

He touched his shoulder. It was not more than plenty of players do every game. The ref was just a Bamford, Max did nothing wrong.

It's galling to lose to a weak team like Luton but it is part of a tough learning curve for a very young team. 

I thought we played some good football tonight but we still can't head the ball and we aren't tough enough physically or mentally away from home. 

We panicked and lost our discipline. 

If there's one criticism of Cocu it's that the subs came too late.

For what exactly? How pathetic are we trying to make sport? The Ref needs to grow a pair and handle himself like a man. He's barely touched him. 

Doesn't matter. He pushed the refs arm away. You just can't do that and therefore can't blame the ref or accuse him of being a wuss. 

Sorry, heat of the moment and all that but Lowe's reaction was indefensible.

They put that team out - set us up to defend!

What? We had 60% possession.

And we didn't "drop back" after we scored; our defenders just suddenly lost all positional sense and seemingly the ability to kick the ball. How were we set up to defend?

But Cocu is the real reason for our defeat - his team selection and tactics.

We went ahead and were in total control. What happened from then on wasnt much to do with tactics and more about our team having a collective mental breakdown. We went from passing the ball around and totally negating anything Luton had to making basic errors, failing to hold our shape, putting the ball in our own net and man handling the ref.

Not sure what Cocu was meant to do about that.

What exactly is PC’s game plan... after al these months I am none the wiser.

Play not to our strengths but to deflect theirs. Dont put in crosses, get midway through the opposition half then stop and let them catch up.

Grab a goal when we feel like it which is rare, and shut up shop when we get the goal which doesnt work, but never mind, give the 2 best strikers ten minutes to do what Waghorn hasnt in 80. 

Also leave things wide open when down south and be sure to help out relegation candidates.
