Having watched the highlights I've got no complaints about the pen, just at having Dan Burn at LB...
Howe said in the post match interview that Gordon has twisted his ankle which I didn't catch - did wonder why he was brought off as I thought he had a decent game. Hopefully it's nothing serious
We spotted he was limping but it looked a knock, hopefully minor as you say.
Not much more to add really, Luton (and particularly Barkley) looked decent and let's not forget put 4 past Brighton midweek and 3 past Arsenal earlier in the season. Game was far too open though, we couldn't control the midfield with all 3 of ours (despite Longstaff's goals and a brief improvement for Bruno second half, that one run on the left was superb) anonymous throughout meaning it was attack v defense all game. Poor goals to concede, and they weren't all on Dan Burn, two free headers for the first is pathetic. Worst game Miley's played yet, but he's 17, it was always going to come and having a bad one might actually do him the world of good.
Worst tactical decision had to be swapping the wingers second half, Miggy's pace had been working on the left and Murphy absolutely can't play there, it was such a clear improvement when Barnes came on and he moved back across.
Referee was pretty poor but probably not in a game changing way, just missed obvious fouls at times. Luton would have had the biggest complaint were it not for VAR, of all the things that could have been (pen or no pen) it absolutely couldn't have been a free kick, though I wish Burn had made the foul there...
Need 6 points from Forest and Bournemouth now.
