Great save from the pen by Lawlor.
Bad misses from Toyosi and Moly.

Anyone else replay the olusanya chance a few times looking for a potential bobble that put him off? Or hopong for a different outcome.

Gibsons reaction wasnt even of someone who was shocked by it.

Pearson ball watching for the their goal. But clearly was a worked move on their part, you ciuld hear the call just before he took it.  Nothing lawlor could do.

Mols struck his chance sweet enough but accuracy way off. At the time i thought the keeper got a glove to it, but wasnt anywhere near.
Dont think he had time to take a touch, would of been swamped by defenders and slammed for not taking it firat time. Needs a confidence boost

Good save from Lawlor early on, and a brilliant save from the penalty. No chance with the goal.

Olusanya really does look dreadful. Maybe Luke needs a rest for a game or two.

Olusanya is an athlete but not a league 1 footballer.

Controlling the ball is this week's training task I reckon, that should have been two goals.

The best chance he had, he actually took the ball well at pace with his first touch but his second touch was a shocker.

Bit late in the day for a 27 year old pro footballer to be learning that.

Any footage of the handball please looked in the box from behind the goal but obviously happened so quick

Grant said it was yards in the box, not seen a replay though.

Having watched it and the replay at the time, even Luton’s comms teams said “ohhh that appears to be in the box” after the replay!
I wouldn’t say yards, maybe half a yard at the most, but in the box all the same.

Whilst I’m not denying we are in a bit of poor form, if not for keeper howlers and some seriously bad officiating, we don’t lose any of those games with the exception of Spurs, even though they were helped too.

The handball was outside the box.

Great angle on it here (https://youtu.be/E-8zyfegUBI?si=jdGsooj4gev2CZR9&t=369).

(6.09 on the video if it doesn't start from that point automatically)

Another terrible decision the officials got right!

At the time I thought it was outside the box but from that video and I stopped it at point of contact it looks inside or on the line at worst,there lad has jumped forward from 2 yards inside with his hand slightly infront,like I said at the time I thought it was outside the box but ref was right there although not in line.
