Mark Duffy starts with Neil Wainright injured. Curtis in a 'wing back' type role.

How have we been playing so far? Gutted i've had to miss the game and i'm in my car on the phone.

Sounds like Luton had the best of the early part of the half but Drummie scored after about 22 minutes (ish) and apparently we nearly made it 2-0 straight after. 1-0 so far, looking good!

5 points off playoffs in the 'as it stands' table. Sorry.

I remember last season someone posted a link to an interactive league table, does anyone know what Im on about and where one exists?

interactive in what way? If you mean 'live table' as the game goes on, Sky Sport have one.

Thanks Keith. Thats even better than the one I remember! Will make run in even more exciting (if thats possible)!

A Luton equaliser that Quinny felt they deserve. Sounds like we've been under pressure for most of the half. They've been getting a lot of dangerous crosses in, eventually they were going to get on the end of one I suppose.

1-1 at half time. "Luton have played some fantastic football this half". Drummie not only scored but twice cleared off the line. Sounds like we're fortunate to still be level. Need to pick it up second half.

An even half, great free kick from Twissy for drummonds header, a deserved equaliser although looked like an Artell slip. Luton could have gone in 2-1 up when Roche let a shot slip under him, Drummie hacked it clear from on the line.

Luton's Tom craddock nearly scored goal of the season.

Att 2,599, 666 Luton fans.

1-2

Although the goal has been coming for a while, when it arrived it was "controversial" as he looked "miles off side". Morecambe defence stood there waiting for a flag that never came.

Think defence were looking for a free kick for a high foot rather than offside.

Morecambe coming back into it, Luton keeper looks dodgy to the ariel ball.

ah well, it was a good run. Luton must be miffed, they beat us then find out that Grimsby have won too. Play off dream ending today?

Full Time 1-2

Sammy remonstrates with officials after final whistle. Hear his thoughts around 5.15

we were poor( especially midfield )
they were good (although both goals looked iffy)
all officials were poor

First time we've had over 2 million away fans?

Just for the superstitious amongst you, we lost our 13th game since last defeat in front of 666 away fans!

Why no substitute till 85th minute if we were as bad as some say

Because Sammy doesn't like making subs in time.
Both strikers weren't effective enough - particularly Twissy who I still think is not back to his old self. O'Carroll should have come on earlier.

Whats the general opinion of DUFFY today

very poor display,midfield dire,no punch at front,just hacked it anywhere so it cam straight back.Their no 12 was best player by a mile we never got a grip of him.Blatant bias in the refereeing with him never giving us anything
still the unbeaten run was becoming a millstone anyway.They had some excellent players and played it on the ground like we seemed to be incapable of.Only time we looked like doing anything was when duffy went to right wing where he should have been all game !!!
very disappointing,they deserved the win

Needs time to acclimatise to this level.

Overall not one of our better performances. Not dreadful either. Just end of season nothing at stake kind of stuff. While I fully agreed with Gary Hunter's MotM award, overall the central midfield looked soft - missing Fraser and Stanners, and despite his goal and clearance, Stew didn't have one of his better games.

Why Way-un was played on the left and Twissy on the right was beyond me. Twissy looked a lot sharper when Diarmuid came on for Wayne, so that Mr T was moved to a more regular position.

Surely Mclachlan and Taylor should have been brought on

Anyway, my take on the match...

Roche - 6. Quiet but made one fabulous save.
Yates - 7. Another good game for Yatesy.
Bentley - 5. Quiet game, slightly off colour even.
Artell - 5. Didn't do too badly but along with Jimbo, struggled to contain Craddock and made a few errors.
Adams - 6. Quiet but played his part.
Curtis - 7. Worked hard and caused some problems.
Duffy - 7. Encouraging performance. A few good touches and runs. More, please.
Drummond - 6. Grabbed a goal and made two really good passes but seemed uninterested and unwilling to make challenges at times.
Hunter - 8. Great performance, deserved MoM. Great tackles and some real flashes of skill.
Howe - 6. Worked pretty hard but it was an average performance overall.
Twiss - 5. Looked uninterested and seems to lack confidence.

Overall, we seemed to lack a sense of urgency and wouldn't push out or try more adventurous moves yet we still misplaced too many passes. Luton weren't brilliant and we should have contained them better. Just hope we can pick ourselves up and finish the season strongly. We all know how important it is to do so.

We didn't play well, but Luton were a strong, well organised side and deserved the win. After going a goal down, they gradually took a grip on the game and it was no surprise when they levelled.

After going 2-1 down, we had a ten minute period when we applied some good pressure, but generally Luton played out the rest of the game pretty impressively.

Duffy seemed a little lightweight and ineffectual in the first half, but I thought he improved in the second. I think it's just a case of him adjusting to the higher level.

Luton isn't a side that should be going down, but despite their win, other results didn't help them.
