I love Nathan Jones, he has a bit of passion. Just won at his old club, that never really gave him a chance. Morison grow up and take it on the chin. You'd be doing the same if we win at your old stomping ground on the weekend. Man under pressure if we dont at least get a point.

Morison is getting worse, every time we don’t win.

Hes too arrogant and wont admit hes wrong or beaten by a better team. Luton deserved their win. We need to quickly move on and deal with the striker crisis. Remember it's your team Steve, you made this problem, no excuses. Admit you should have ditched Watters and Harris in the summer. You have to gamble now on another free transfer.

The Hatters boss, a big Cardiff City fan and former academy player, of course, was contrite in his own post-match press conference.

"If I've upset anyone I don't mean it. I do 14 hours a day, I'm up 2am Sunday mornings watching games. I'm a passionate guy and sometimes I get carried away. If I've offended anyone I apologise. I don't mean to do that. Maybe I should have (shaken hands), it wasn't meant in any malice," Jones said.

"I don't comment on any managers. In the first half he had a go at my centre-forward and said 'you're too lazy to run and committed the foul'. I don't understand that. I lost a play-off semi-final to Carlos Corberan who celebrated before shaking my hand. I understand that, he'd just got to Wembley and sometimes these things happen.

"I've never had a conversation with Steve. Until he speaks to me... I don't think he should (say anything) but I'll go and have a drink with him now and if there any issues I'm sure we'll speak.

"It was literally five or six seconds after the final whistle when I was emotional. One of my staff shook his hand before I did, then I came and did. I was overjoyed winning at my boyhood club. That sometimes gets the better of you, but no malice or disrespect meant

"It wasn't a confrontation," said Morison. "I shook his hand after standing there as you do at the end of the game.

"I just asked if he could have a little bit of decorum, do the celebrating afterwards. Shake your opponent’s hand, say well done, then go do a lap of honour I don't really care."

When asked what Jones said to him in response, Morison said: "'Who are you? It's just about winning.'

"It is what it is, from my point of view I think you do the respect stuff and the start and at the end, I would never do that. It was just his reaction, heat of the moment.

So we have our manager going on record as saying its about the performance over the result and Nathan Jones saying its all about winning...i think i know which of those statements resonates more with me and i would guess most other fans.

Surely it has to be about winning and you change the style of play which i agree was needed, on the back of a winning team.

Roger Johnson was guest pundit on CCTV last night and spoke so much sense, about our trying to play out from the back and walk the ball into the net, as he said we are not Man City...(yet)and do not have the players to do this time after time.

Spot on. 2-1 down in injury time and we are faffing around at the back? What is the point. This is where Morrison will fail, he is too arrogant at times too change anything as it seems as if it’s his way or bust.

Why would you not throw the big men forward and lump it in to the box? Roger Johnson has been spot on with his co comms. I’m all for this new style of footy, it’s another string to our bow, but let’s not forget things like set pieces that got us up under Warnock. Looks like our team shit themselves whenever a ball comes into the box now.

Jones was jumping about like a silly little prick to be fair, he would have got on my nerves and his team wasted all the injury time, I thought Morison was going to chin him.

Was there this reaction to Warnock when he had a go at the wolves manager for celebrating before shaking hands? I cant remember. Emotions get the better of people sometimes in the moment, from both sides.

They both have attributes I like to be fair. Jones passion for the win and Morrison's nasty streak.

Nw was not a happy bunny after that incident and he said as much afterwards.... not sure what Morison's problem is? jones shook hands afterwards no problem celebrating a good performance... morison is a right old whinge bag only got watch him with 4th official never stops complaining in fact spend more time doing that than watching game.

I don't like managers making it about themselves, though the Conte/Tuchel stuff was pathetic.

However, if NJ did say 'who are you?' then that is wholly disrespectful and I sympathise with Morison.
