Villatillidie95 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Think they will surprise a few teams this season with their physicality and back to basics approach....the "Luton Migs" and other fans will want to turn the place into a fortress with a siege mentality, could see them getting 16th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW7494 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I’ll be surprised if they get past the 25 point mark this season. Their signings are very much mid table championship players at best. Looks more like planning for when they go back down rather than trying to stay up so far 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be trying to stay up but are looking to do it with younger players who can add value. If they go down, they've got a decent base with some valuable experience thrown in.

Hard to see Luton picking up 8/9 wins at home like Forest did though. They're signing Alex Palmer from West Brom for a couple of million, he's a keeper so guess that's alternative to Tom Heaton who they were supposed to be signing a few weeks back. Badly need some players with premier league experience but that would obviously inflate the wage bill so can understand them not wanting to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Will bw suprised if they dont finish 20th but they really are going to add something to PL. Its a hostile place to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see the potential in the players they have got in to be able to add value to them. It’s not like they have gone out & invested in the best championship talents with a view to giving them premier league experience to then sell on for a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Sheffield United is in a far worse state than Luton for the upcoming season imo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FLVillan Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 So I'm currently over in the UK for business. First day had to come to Luton. Driving through town for a meeting and saw what I assumed was an abandoned football ground, overgrown on the outside and looking decidedly derelict. Imagine my surprise when I saw a sign on the other side saying "Welcome to Luton Town FC." 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I do like that Luton have 2 Zimbabwe players in the squad. One is called Marvellous and the other is called Admiral Great names 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Good interview with rob edwards in the times, discusses his philosophy. Also mentions that they are not going to be playing silly football but will be “going for a tear up” in their games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Be interesting to see how they do against Brighton today, tough first fixture. It’s either going to go really well or really bad, I can’t see it being an in between kind of result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I gather the ground isn't even ready for what should have been their first home game against Burnley next week. If they are not ready for Premier League football then they should just forfeit the points imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
