Great pens from us. Don't care if we didn't deserve it...we went toe to toe with a good team. [Post edited 27 Aug 21:55]

Thank you mate - that worked perfectly until the last penalties when it switched to the Fulham game!
Enjoyed that game and plenty of positives to take from it, one of our best cup performances for a while
Bring on Saturday |
We’re playing Friday night ;) |  | | |

Got to be up early so quickly...
Morrison looks a very promising CB.
Walsh pulled off done great saves.
Missed the first half so not sure about Santos in midfield but thought he got caught out a few times as RB.
Varane looks very french sometimes, wants a little too much time.
Madsens passing was class.
Lloyd is one to watch. Love his directness.
Wasn't expecting much. Delighted to have won.
Night all 💤🛌🥱 |  |

Entertaining game. We did well, Luton came at us, but we held our ground.
Like Morrison. Quietly did the business. Could develop into a very reliable CB.
Varane much improved in the middle. Santos also much better.
Celar going to be good, had very nice first time pick-ups and passes from loose balls.
Walsh a very good #2 to have at championship level.
Lots of positives to take from this one, not least the win. |  | | |

Maybe not the best match you've ever seen, but even leaving aside the result I thought that was a decent game with both sides putting in a proper effort with fairly strong sides.
Think some of us need to remember that Luton did get promoted two seasons ago and aren't to be taken for granted just because they're, well, Luton. | | | |

Well the OP predicted it perfectly. I'd say connell to start the match threads for the rest of the season then!
We smashed it in the penalties. Four great penalties from the Rs. Well done lads. We definitely looked second best during the 90 minutes though. Too many stretches when we couldn't put together anything in the oppositions half. There is plenty of talent on display but they need an offseason to gel. Doing that during the season is always risky.
On to tomorrow's cup draw. URRRRRRRRRRRRsss!!! |  |

Joe Walsh had a good game today. I really rate him. Needs to keep playing games but he'll get there for sure. |  |

Overall not great, but given we played a more changed team than they did you'd have taken a draw before the game. Good to be making it through as well though!
Walsh was very good all game (and a good save in the shootout too), Varane much better in the second half, Lloyd looked good off the bench, and Morrison looks a very capable deputy to Cook/JCS. I actually thought, despite us letting them attack a bit too much, we were better in the second half, the only clear cut chance for either team was Madsen right at the end.
On to Luton! | | | |

Had to happen really... we have all seen this type of game over the years..
But hats off to Connell .. 1-1 and us on penalties... top threading that man ....
But we all know what this means for Friday |
I know what you mean. Think they are more concerned about returning to the Prem than a Cup run. We are decent away from LR though. We need to start winning games at LR for me to think we are making real progress. | | | |

A big 90 mins for Marrison, Celar, Hevertton and Varane. We do look light in the full back positions though. | | | |

We are progressing steadily are we not?
That game tonight we would have lost a year ago.
We must show patience with our new signings. |  |

Hope that gives the club some confidence going into Fri night.
I noted similar positives to some other posters. Having watched it back again I do think Walsh is a touch unprepared for their strike, but it was also a brilliant hit - he'll learn from that, and otherwise was good, with an excellent save in the pens.
Lots of the new signings looked a little better - signs they can find their feet and hopefully be coached into even better players by Marti + staff. Varane got physical, not always successfully, but was getting more stuck in. Wants a lot of time on the ball but will learn. Madsen class with ball, needs a little more general energy, but again hopefully he'll improve in that sense.
I think we still lack a high energy midfielder who demands the ball off the back 4, and we seem to lack the ability to make the right runs/angles for our passing out from the back to be effective. BUT i think that can develop the more these players get used to each other...to an extent.
Colback, standard daft booking aside, was quite good, and did provide good energy in middle of park.
I'm liking the signs from Celar and think he just needs a goal + time with the other players to get going. But I also thought the same about Conor Washington after his first few appearances so...fingers crossed!
Morrison pick of the bunch for me. Very solid and composed, against some of the physically tougher opponents he'll face.
Shout out to Santos who looks willing to learn, had good pace, and bagged a goal. | | | |

A sure sign that there is a tear in the fabric of space.
Still, whatever, the Rs march on. Well done my team!  |  |

The newbies all got time on the pitch. Hevertton did plenty of good things but got caught a few times. Varane improved as game went on. Lloyd offered a decent cameo on the left. Celar had some decent touches without a lot of support.
Be good to get another home game in R3 |  |

Totally agree and lots and lots of positives from that game regarding the new lads
MOTM for me was Walsh though. That save from the corner was top draw and he was really assured all game
Closely followed by Morrison who played really well against that forward line that was a premier one. | | | |

Superb result - and a real early season boost. Did not see that coming after a first half in which Luton threatened to sweep us aside at times.
West Ham or Spurs Away please. Not Watford, Coventry or Stoke... | | | |
