Michael Duff furious as Wycombe gift win to Luton

Wycombe boss Michael Duff lambasted his side for dishing out some belated Christmas presents to Luton during the Chairboys’ 4-0 defeat at Kenilworth Road.

The Hatters led 2-0 at half-time when Gideon Kodua took advantage of two mistakes to score twice against his former side, while after the break Jordan Clark and Shayden Morris completed the rout.

Duff said: “I can’t explain that. Four of the worst goals you’ll ever see in a football match.

“To come to a big team in this league with good players, it would have been a hard afternoon anyway but to gift them the goals that we gave them, you’ve got no chance of ever being in the game.

“Christmas was yesterday but Luton have had four presents today. It’s hard to come out and defend it when it’s such obvious mistakes.

“There’s some things that you can’t do anything about. We’ve got to learn from it as when you make that many individual errors in a game you’ve got no chance of winning it, at any level, against any opposition.

“No matter who we’d played today, we could have played Luton’s team from 1985 and they’re still playing now at 60, 70 years old and we’d have still lost the game.”

Luton made an ideal start when Kodua’s shot on seven minutes squirmed through visiting keeper Will Norris and he had a second just before half-time, taking advantage of Anders Kagelskjaer’s awful backpass to walk the ball into the empty net.

After the break, Town made it 3-0 on 70 minutes, Kodua’s cross rebounding off Jack Grimmer for Clark to slam in, and a fourth arrived through Morris courtesy of Taylor Allen’s terrible ball out from defence.

Luton chief Jack Wilshere added: “When I spoke to the players I said this is what we should have done against Reading (in a 3-2 defeat) because it was a good performance.

“Today the performance was better as I felt we had a bit more purpose, we had more threat and we created more opportunities, so it’s nice to win and win convincingly and dominate so much of the game.

“I thought at the start of the second half they came out and you always expect that. They’ll try something different, try and be a little bit more aggressive. I felt we dealt with that moment well and I’m really happy as it’s the league we’re in.

“You can go from dominating to all of a sudden be suffering for a bit and I think we did that well. We managed that moment and then the subs helped to see the game out, but a really good performance.”
