Will we see a better comeback all season? I doubt it! Losing 3-1, at half time, after taking an early lead, was not in the script I was reading. It was a situation compounded by the fact that all three Reading goals had been scored by the former Hatter, Jack Marriott, who took great delight in celebrating every one of his strikes, It was an occasion where I would love to have been a fly on the dressing room wall, did Jack Wilshere tear the players off a strip or was he calm and assured pointing out where they were going wrong? After a dramatic second half comeback that culminated in an injury time winner, the gaffer gave us an insight into what was said at half time with Jack remarking, as reported by – Luton Today; “That was my message, come on lads, let’s be who we are and be good at it. We’ve worked really, really hard to get into this spot and every single day in training we’re doing things that are going to help us. It’s for these moments when you get to the big stage on a Saturday, when you’re playing a game, it’s not, we don’t do it for fun, we have to do it to win games, have a threat, to be dangerous when we’re with the ball.” I think it is fair to say that a little bit of snap and verve was missing in those first forty-five minutes, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that Reading had a glorious chance, very early in the second half to make it 4-1, I doubt we would have witnessed the same dramatic conclusion if that early second half chance wasn’t fluffed. Next up is a home game against Notts County, it is a game we cannot afford to be so slack in, but there is no doubting anyone who watched the game, yesterday, will ever forget it, sheer drama. COYH Luton Town v Notts County? Luton Town to Win! Notts County to Win! A Draw!
