And the momentum, with Luton Town earning a comfortable second Championship win, in the space of four days, continues.
The quest to climb the table, after missing out on four successive games, is well under the way, with the Hatters now sitting in 11th place.
The win, at Reading, last night was most welcome, although Reading had lost their last home game 7-0, against Fulham, there was always the possibility of a backlash.
But, after weathering the early storm, Luton were in control and thoroughly deserved the three points.
The result does have extra significance though:
• It extends the Hatters unbeaten run to 5-games.
• Luton last suffered a defeat back in November 2021
and
• It was the first time Luton have won back-to-back Championship games this season.
No wonder the Hatters support were bubbling last night, following the victory, on social media:
One thing so pleasing to see and shows real progression from last season apart from obvious performances is – being + in the GD column. #COYH

But, after such a miserable display from their side, the Reading support are a little forlorn:
Easiest win your lot will have all season😂😂😂

Genuine q, have you had an easier win all season? 😂

Perhaps I should point out that we can only beat what is put in front of us!
With a side full of confidence, the Hatters travel to take on Sheffield United this Saturday, it’ll be a tougher game than last night, but I’m confident we can get a result, are you?
COYH’s
Sheffield United v Luton Town?
Sheffield United to Win!
Luton Town to Win!
A Draw!

Luton – Danger Lies Ahead As Fixture Congestion Bites
Definitely the most incompetent side I’ve seen this season (ok, apart from us at home to Brum). They’re going down. As long they take the other financial cheats down with them.
We could have gone for the kill and won. 0-5. But I guess there was a need to balance 3 points with 3 games in a week.
It was interesting to see how much the team trusts Bree. When he plays, most attacks come through him. Kioso did ok with what he had to do, which wasn’t much as the team weren’t using him for large chunks of the game. I’m sure that will change as he gets back into the swing of it.
well said jim. kioso is like a new signing ,give him time to bed in. i would love to see him do well.wonder if cornick will get into the team when he is fully fit. who would you replace him with, glad we have a good squad.COYH.
very impressed with the team Pelly outstanding you can see that teams are now showing us the respect we dserve turning into a very strong championship team that can beat anyone on there day who needs big budgets to do well in football i think we have proved That
