Luton Fans – Has The Enforced Break Changed Your Opinion When It Comes To Championship Survival?

Another three weeks, minimum, of lock down was the message broadcast by the government yesterday.

Stay home and stay safe is the message emanating from the capital and it is one we have to obey, however boring life under lock down is now becoming.

I’m sat here, typing away, but watching the odd pedestrian amble past the window doing their daily exercise and it struck me just when was the last time Luton Town were in action.

Well, it was 07-March-2020 when an injury-time save from Simon Sluga ensured the Hatters returned to leafy Bedfordshire with a share of the spoils and another valuable point in their quest to retain their Championship status.

By my reckoning that was some 41 days and by the time, if it does, the EFL season resumes, it wouldn’t surprise me if the period between games reached an astonishing 80 days.

The enforced break couldn’t have come at a worse time for Graeme Jones side after they’d finally started to put a run of form together that suggested they could pull off what some critics were describing as impossible, namely, stay up.

When the 2019 / 2020 season finally does resume, the Hatters will need to complete the following fixtures:

• Preston North End (h)
• Swansea City (a)
• Leeds United (a)
• Reading (h)
• Barnsley (h)
• Huddersfield (a)
• Queens Park Rangers (h)
• Hull City (a)
• Blackburn Rovers (h)

And accumulate sufficient points to finish, at the minimum, fourth from bottom.

But what are your thoughts on what awaits us?

Has the enforced break given you renewed hope that survival is not only possible but probable?

Has the enforced break acted like the close season where ambition and hopes are sky-high as we enter a new season?

Or has the enforced break given you the time to evaluate just where it all went wrong and, as Private Fraser was always muttering in the popular comedy – Dads Army – “we’re all doomed”
