    Southend playing a high line, creating space in behind for us, but we are not making the progress we could, but some patient build up from us in first 15 minutes...

    Interesting that Southend are pressing high (and well) but we’re holding onto the ball a lot longer before hitting it long. NJ clearly working on us retaining possession more in anticipation of seeing less of the ball

    HANDBALL... Bell connects with his hand, but the referee awards us a free kick instead of a penalty, as the Charlton man got nudged

    Goal Carey. TC wins the ball high up the pitch, ball gets played out to Apter who passes to Carey whose deflected strike goes in

    1-0, our work in possession feels like it’s improved significantly from last year.

    Lot of the comments I read from Luton fans said he was a bit shakey with his feet. 

    Guess we’ve hardly been spoiled the last few years.

    Nice to see Kelman holding the ball, and finding Apter with the pass, but you could mention Campbell and Casey for their work and movement in that goal

    Own goal but we had 3 waiting to pounce anyway. Great work by TC, Apter and Carey

    A real asset for Carey. He may not have the quality of Knibbs but having an understanding with one of the players we want to be a key attacking player is very important

    Casey is a proper runner from Midfield isnt he, to get up alongside the Striker

    We can’t have Carey being misspelled as Casey on a regular basis, how will that make young Pat feel? 
  • Blackpool boys making all the noise everywhere we go 
  • Casey is a proper runner from Midfield isnt he, to get up alongside the Striker
    I thought Casey was with the u21s

    This ref is being very lenient, yet another pull on Carey he "doesn't see"

    Carey reminds me of Graham Stuart in style and approach
