Fighting til the end shows the dressing room is playing as a cohesive unit, no bad apples.
Also, we're grinding away and winning points whilst not being able to field full strength XI.
See how other teams around us start to cope with first team injuries.

Agree was not the best quality from us yeaterday but the lads kept going till the end and we got the goal. Has been crap with luton getting results but happens hopefully us with players back we can get the points

I'm tending to agree with you but the table next Saturday evening may be hard reading.

The only game that truly alarmed me since the start of December was the Wolves match. That was a disaster. Before then we'd beaten Forest, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Burnley, lost narrowly at Spurs, and put up a fight against City. After that Wolves match, we have drawn with Villa, Fulham, and Spurs. The cup games are irrelevant to the league, so, all things considered, given the pressure on the squad from the cup games and inevitable injuries, we've done pretty well in a very difficult fixture series. Get City out of the way next week and we can start looking up again. Luton blew a three-point swing on us yesterday. We were a goal down in injury time and they were two up with 25 to play. That we both ended with draws is a huge fillip for us.

Game on.

Ross Barkley is playing very well. Main man at Luton. Calm on the ball and just keeps play ticking along. Looks a different player

Not a surprise at all. Suggested him as a signing for us this summer but got shot down the second I posted it
Our team could do with his creativity and quality on the ball.

Luton 3-2 and they have Sheff Utd at home next....

They could be 6 points clear of us.... Even if we get 10 points back we are only 4 clear!!!!!

But we would be ahead of 8 teams.

And we will still have 18 games to do something about it.

 

[PITA]

Yet they beat Villa midweek

Let’s just take stock, Luton have beaten us, Brighton and Newcastle this week.

Honestly, what is wrong with people who can't wait until the end of the game?

 

[PITA]

The 10 point deduction hides the fact that we're playing quite well in spells in pretty much most games. Not brilliantly, not every game or even consistently throughout the 90 minutes of the games we play alright in but we're a side that creates chances and does enough to be in the mix.

I think we're in much better shape than Palace, arguably Forest and maybe even Brentford over the last couple of months. Luton are having an insane spell at the moment but it's nothing we didn't do after the deduction.

They've taken 2 points more than us from their last 3 games.

Annoying that two creditable draws have done little for our standing due to Luton suddenly hitting form
