And not entirely sure what I've just witnessed. Simply magnificent from 1-11. Started slowly but although Luton had a lot of the ball they didn't threaten much. Town deserved to lead from Hunts effort which somehow their keeper got to but the disappointment was short lived when Holohan tucked away a header. Luton back into it with a really soft penalty and when they went in front you'd have been justified in thinking that was that. Step forward Harry (one of our own) Clifton with a Wrexham game type quick response (74 seconds according to the ecstatic bloke stood next to me) for 2.2 The last 20 minutes was a master class in shithousery particularly from Crocombe who tried the refs patience to the limit. Never seen so many players go down with cramp. Not really fair to single out any individual but Crocombe made two great saves to keep us in it. Efete ran his heart out and Orsi did well as a lone forward. The 5th round draw beckons.

Think Efete showed today that he can play higher. Matched their pace and strength which takes some doing.

Think Efete showed what a superb wing back he is, Thought he was a beast today.

We really grew in confidence in the second half and could even have won it had we chanced our arm a bit more. We wasted a lot of time and never made any subs into the game was almost over. Orsi was great in the second half especially although his legs had gone by the end.

If you are referring to the shot their keeper tipped over for our corner where we scored from it was Holohan's shot. I didn't think their penalty was a penalty it looked like Morris pulls his leg away, having said that they could have had one earlier when Hunt blocked a cross/shot with his arms in our area.

Cheers..my eye sight ain't what it was. Having seen "the penalty" I couldn't agree more with you.

It’d be unfair to pick anyone out imho, they all bust a gut to get a result. Don’t think PH had any alternative to how we set up, but he got it spot on tactically..the 3 at the back helped massively, not just in terms of the result but think it helped Efete who was positive throughout.
To be honest I was disappointed in Luton, that’s not taking anything away from how fantastic our boys were. They’ve struggled at home like we have and it showed I think. The replay will probably be even harder than today - but we should gain confidence from today and are more than capable of producing a shock.
That’s for another day though..today should be all about acknowledging a tremendous effort from all. 👏👏

As Barra has said huge praise throughout the team after that. Both teams played really well and deserved a win showing off some beautuful football.
Some stabd out perfromances today to go along with everyone playing well Orsi showed what he can do. Efete looked the like player we know and loved. Waterfall commanding Max was superb and didn't stand a chance with euther goal he conceded. Harry as Harry Holohan was superb and won alot of headers today
I'd like to see the pen decision before I ruled on it tjust sat too far away to really say, but he it did look a bit theatric when he dropped.
Only negative on today was the card happy ref who was a tad of bais in some of his decions.

Didn't go today but having seen the highlights that penno was soft at best. Think it might have been overturned if VAR had been in place
