    2020/21 General Match Thread

    As usual FCH a cautious preview and assessment of our chances this season. I'd say 4 clubs are at a different level to the rest based on results, squad and current position and they are Portsmouth, Sunderland, Peterborough and Barnsley. We've played three of those and done reasonably well apart...

    Luton Town v Scunthorpe United

    JJ is a fantastic prospect who has already attracted interest from other clubs. In addition he is a product of our youth set up. It's important for the club that players come through and establish themselves in the first team in order to send the right signals to youngsters who wish to learn...

    Luton Town v Scunthorpe United

    Good game of football and a deserved outcome. First half we looked good going forward and should have been well ahead but for the usual poor finishing. Lee's strike to put us ahead was extremely well taken but when he went off it seemed to unsettle us. Scunthorpe started to move the ball around...

    Luton Town v Scunthorpe United

    Have only played Scunthorpe a total of 13 times the last of which was at Wembley in the pisspot cup. Fantastic and memorable day though for many reasons. The Oxford win was just what we needed and should go into this game with increased confidence. According to NJ Hylton and Berry are close to...

    I think we've done relatively well so far at least based on our performances which isn't reflected in the points we have gained to date. The emergence of Pelly Ruddock this season has been a real positive while the negatives have been our inability to score despite the number of chances we...

    Would have been gutted if we hadn't won tonight. Completely dominated against a side that looked relegation material. We all know our problem and I'm sure the management team are working hard to resolve it. Just getting shots on target seems to be the major issue. Lost count how many times we...

    Luton Town v Charlton Athletic

    Another game against one of the teams tipped to challenge for promotion and again we've held our own. Charlton summed up the difference between league one and two. Comfortable on the ball, skillful and fast on the break and didn't give us a moment on the ball. At times we struggled against them...

    Luton Town v Charlton Athletic

    Bought a certain Paul Elliott from Charlton at the same time. Fantastic athlete but unfortunately broke his leg just when he was looking to cement his place. We also had Steve Foster and Mal Donaghy at the back so competition was tough. Walsh and Stein were some partnership. That couple of...

    Luton Town v Charlton Athletic

    Been a long time since this was a regular fixture. Lots of memories from this game and most around the time I first started going when we were locking horns in the old division two. A sell out crowd and no doubt a terrific atmosphere awaits in what should be a very tight game. Charlton it...

    An odd signing that one. Probably more a case of there not being many players available as well as NJs connections with Brighton as stated by others. Also surprised he is only 27. Seems to have been around a while and played an important part in Brightons promotions. Not surprising he was...

    Blackpool v Luton Town

    I disagree Kenneth. Blackpool were above us before we played them yesterday and yet I felt we were the better side for much of the game as we were at Doncaster and Portsmouth (currently 2nd and 4th). Win your home games and try not to lose your away games is what most promotion teams will aim...

    Blackpool v Luton Town

    Agree Collins seems off the pace. Perhaps having a few sleepless nights with the birth of his child recently. Thought we played well today and didn't let Blackpool into the game. They looked very ordinary. Our work off the ball is first class, we chased everything and tried to get the ball...

    League 1 v league 2. Talking standards now.

    League one is definately a step up but not a huge one. Think we have faired reasonably well so far and we've played 3 of the 4 promotion favourites. Of course the club has invested in a squad which has depth in quality. Something you need in any league to succeed. Perhaps the biggest difference...

    Blackpool v Luton Town

    Oh I do like to be beside the seaside. Seems quite a few are making the trip and most will feel we have a good chance of getting something from the game. Our play away from home has deserved more points than we have gained. Feel we just need a little bit of luck in front of goal. Hopefully we...

    Luton Town v Bristol Rovers

    Very bad news. Was looking forward to seeing how much of an impact he would make. We certainly do seem to be unlucky with those type of injuries. Jervis is an out and out forward who wouldn't be able to play that type of midfield role. So fortunately he'll be staying at Wimbledon. At least I...

    519 Rovers fans at KR today. Bit disappointing that for a 3pm Saturday kick off. Perhaps they knew their players wouldn't turn up either.

    Luton Town v Bristol Rovers

    Me too! :emb: Decent performance today and about as convincing a 1-0 win you will ever see. Disappointed with Rovers who offered very little in attack. Their players just didnt seem interested in making a game of it. Should really have won by a lot more, although I felt the disallowed goal was...

    Luton Town v Bristol Rovers

    Shinnie for all his abiltiy has failed to impress this season, as was the case for part of last season. Seems very lightweight to me and is easily shrugged off the ball. Given space he can run and create chances but in a game with a packed midfield he struggles with the physical aspect of the...

    Luton Town v Bristol Rovers

    A seperate thread for the Luton masses as we face the blue half of Bristol. Got a feeling there will be a few goals in this game tomorrow. Both teams create enough chances and you feel its just a matter of time before these are converted. The latest I heard on Hylton is that he may feature...
