Murphy still as lazy as ever (could’ve had 3-4 today, if he actually put a little more effort in), and our central midfield literally missing on a lot of occasions. Worrying stuff, but we’ll see where we sit come the end of the month.
Genuinely felt like I was watching Slade’s Cardiff again, in that last half hour. Look no further than the 72nd minute, when we had a great break on and outnumbered them in their half, yet Paterson is standing in front of Pack telling him to slow it down. Incredible, and we paid the price.
We deserved the win, and this is a good Luton side, but if we play like that against other teams, we’re going to lose more than we win.

I always had more trust in Warnock's choice of player than the pundits on here who criticised him throughout the transfer window, and while it's early days and way to soon to get too excited on the back of one win, once again it looks as if Warnock is showing the difference between a manger who lives in the real world, rather than one who lives on computer games.

My main concern is that at 1-0, in a position of control, rather than press on and kill the game off we allowed Luton to push forward and get back into the game. We did the same at Wigan.
I hope we learn and start working to kill games off going forward.

City’s lack of skill and creativity and flair in the middle of the park will cause us real issues this season.
Better teams will do a lot more with the endless possession in central midfield and with so much space and time than Luton did.
Only but for 2 quality assists did City get 3 points as a result of poor finishing in first half.
The defending for their equaliser was so amateur. Zonal marking; why? Why was there nobody on the goal post?
Yes City won but for 75 minutes out of the 90 it was dire, dull, devoid of skill and creativity.
No doubt I’ll watch the championship highlights of other games green with envy at the attacking flair of other teams.

That decision nearly cost us 3 points , it's exactly what we did last season and got relegated. Once he changed it back with vassell going up top we went on the attack and scored.
WHY CHANGE IT, WE ARE BETTER THAN THESE TEAMS SO JUST ATTACK THEM AND BEAT THEM !!!!

Agree with some of that, I personally thought it was an awful game and that neither team really deserved anything more than a point, but luckily we got 3 The ball spent so much time in the air it was horrible watching us head it back and four all game. Thought there were some good individual performances such as Flint, Pack and Glatzel but with Paterson at 10 their doesn't seem to be any creativity or anyone who can pick a pass in the final third at times. I thought Luton were poor as well.
But anyway we picked up 3 pts and that's the main thing, but personally id like to see us not playing head tennis so much and try and bring the ball down more.
