Luton fans make their feelings known again after QPR win game in ridiculous fashion

Luton fans make their feelings known again after QPR win the game in ridiculous fashion, piling more pressure on Rob Edwards.

A wicked deflection off Morgan Fox sealed a 2-1 victory for Queens Park Rangers over the struggling Hatters who have now lost 10th defeat in a row away from home.

Rob Edwards couldn’t believe it as he watched the hosts go back in front against Luton in the 62nd minute, after Michael Frey opened the scoring for the R’s, albeit via a goal that should have been ruled out for handball, before Mark McGuinness levelled for Luton.

Morgan Fox was fortunate to seal the three points in the second half, as a long-range Ilias Chair drive flew in off his heel.

A fourth defeat on the bounce leaves Luton in 20th in the Championship table, just two points above the drop zone. QPR are 13th.

Luton’s Rob Edwards:

“Probably,” Edwards said when asked whether he thought QPR’s opener would be ruled out via VAR. “But we’re not in the Premier League. That’s the situation. Things have gone against us really. The footballing gods aren’t on our side at the moment.

“In the second half we were excellent. We’ve got to score when we’re on top.

“The goal was frustrating, because when we conceded we had the momentum. It was a fortuitous goal but that’s how it’s going for us.

“The lads are giving us everything and you can see that. It feels like we’re on the ropes and we keep getting hit. And you wonder how long the lads can keep going.

“The results aren’t good enough. The performances are there, but it’s a results business. I’m here and I want to work and turn this around. That’s our aim. We believe in this group and we continue to fight.

“There’s a lot of fight in there. There was disappointment, anger and frustration in the dressing room. It’s hurting them as well. But it’s only us that can do something about it.”

QPR’s Marti Cifuentes:

“I’m really happy. It’s a very important step forward for us as a team to win these kinds of games. We started really well and we could have scored three goals in the first 30 minutes.

“Then we went in at half-time at 1-1. So big credit to the guys because mentally to win this game was important.

“We knew they are brilliant at set-pieces and today would be a big challenge. They scored from it then in the first 15 minutes of the second half they were the better team.

“That’s why I’m very happy about the impact of the bench today. Everyone in the squad contributed to an amazing level.”

Here’s how fans reacted on twitter as Luton fans make their feelings known again after QPR win game in ridiculous fashion…

@UpTheRs: Thanks for the 6 points lads!

@samuelgiddings4: Honestly I’ve backed Edwards, but the past few weeks have made it clear it’s time for him to go.

@Helhsaa: I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Luton Town FC. I am no longer a fan.

@p_clark60: TEN away defeats in a row. Sleepwalking into League 1.

@craig28866: We can’t even organise getting our subs on properly.

@PanameHatter: If it’s not the conceding over 1.5 goals a game since Aug ‘23 or the blunt attack or the evident lack of pre-season fitness regime, playing Fanne as a second striker in order to shoehorn Walsh into the team should be enough. Bored of this now. Get him gone and save our season.

@ltfc_jt: next tweet should be a corner flag and club statement: rob edwards NOTHING ELSE.

@YoungTowser: Be honest, QPR could have won that 5 or 6. We are awful all over the pitch. Relying on set pieces isn’t acceptable.

@tom_lewo: Worst Luton performance I’ve seen at our gaff… keep him. Cracking gaffer

@ltfc_rhys: can we sack this interviewer off my god

@EJCLTFC: Didn’t deserve to lose? You’re right, we should’ve been hammered 6-2. Get gone.

@bradersfirst: Dominated 🤣🤣 we had 10-15 mins where we were the better team in second half. Look at the difference wiv there manager. Made substitute 30 mins to go changes there shape then bought off there striker everything positive our changed 6 mins to go. No impact. Tactically useless

@SASEnterprise5: Getting sacked in a parallel universe your getting sacked in a parallel universe

@W12_nw: what’s this brother smoking you had 15 mins of joy all game 🤣🤣 was lucky it weren’t 5-0

@Jxydxn___: Whether they scored 2 lucky goals they could have had five. We are shocking and can’t create any chances. Although he’ll get the blame the players have let him down at times but your time is up…

@ltfcdewar: League One has some class away days in fairness, we will be there

@_danhayward01: QPR could’ve easily scored 6 goals. This can’t go on Rob.

@_TeamsLikeLuton: Last question is utterly embarrassing

@GK1Lob: They could’ve had 6!!!

@Rangerscentrall: Did he watch the same game? QPR tore you a new one

@COYH2403: It’s not about luck Rob, it’s not that we are unlucky. These ‘peppy’ performance will only get us so far. Unfortunately time has run out and we need results. Time for a change now

@mttjyr: This is just nonsense. He is totally lost, as are we. I really like Rob and think he’s a good man. But enough is enough. Someone on the board, tell us exactly what progress we’ve made in the last three months and what we should be optimistic about – dare ya.

@josh_h_20: Interviewer needs the sack as much as rob he’s clueless
