After what was an entertaining afternoon of EFL Championship football, the Hatters now know who they will face in the play-off semi-final.
In what will be a two-legged affair, Luton Town will take on Sunderland for a place in the EFL Championship final, at Wembley.
The two legs will be played on Saturday 13th May (a) and Tuesday 16th May (h), but what are the Hatters supporters’ initial thoughts on how things have turned out?
Well, it would seem everyone is not too enthralled:

Sunderland do present an attacking threat but then again, our defence is pretty solid.

Enough said, they must be kicking themselves, throwing away such a healthy lead.
But, once again, there is criticism of the scheduling of the away tie:
Bravo to Sky for scheduling it for 5.30pm on a Saturday and added bonus that there's also a national train strike.

It looks like we’ll all be on club travel or taking the long road to the north-east in our cars, plus it looks like we’ll be lucky to get home before midnight!
But, we all know the play-offs can be something of a lottery and the post below shares my biggest fear:
Please don't bottle it!
