Sometimes you can play well and not get a result, on other occasions you can play poorly and still grab a victory.
Last night belongs firmly in the latter category.
After seeing the unbeaten run end at Bramall Lane, last Saturday, the Hatters support were hoping that their side could, somehow, get back to winning ways against Bristol City last night and they did exactly that, winning 2-1.
But, as you may have guessed from my earlier prose, it wasn’t pretty, something that was recognised on social media:
Pretty poor but expected to be a bit messy with so many changes. Wouldn't have beaten any decent side tonight but 3 points is 3 points no matter how it comes👏 Onto Saturday🧡

Yes, the number of changes Nathan Jones made did give us cause for concern ahead of the game but with such a hectic fixture schedule, there is, naturally, going to be some chopping and changing.
But three points is three points:
The ugly wins bring as many points as the pretty ones….well done lads

Thankfully, although we were poor, Bristol City were poorer, a fact also recognised by the social media crowd:
We don’t have to watch that every week either! That was one of the worst performances we’ve had in probably 3 seasons now. And you still lost to us 😂. How bad must you be?

Indeed, the defeat for the opposition last night was their seventh away game without a win.
But we’ll finish with a light-hearted post:
The wife came with me tonight. 100% win record with her in attendance. Last time Iain Dowie scored the winner against Palace back in 1990…shall I bring her again?

Most definitely, how about this weekend when Blackburn Rovers visit Kenilworth Road!
