Luton - Just What The Doctor Ordered

And so, after seeing four consecutive Championship games postponed, the Hatters were finally back in action yesterday.

Harrogate Town arrived at Kenilworth Road, keen to inflict a cup shock, keen to become a David against our Goliath, but it wasn’t to be.

Despite a lack of action, the Hatters soon picked up the pace and were able to cope with an enthusiastic Harrogate XI.

It was, after a period without any action, the kind of 90 minutes Luton were looking for, a competitive game against a side giving their all.

It is probably fair to say that the 4-0 victory flattered the Hatters a bit, but, for me, the pick of the goals was the first one, scored by Elijah Adbayo, with the striker losing a marker to fire a low shot home from just outside the box.

The fact that Luton won 4-0 was something that was picked up on social media, with some believing we showed some clinical fishing while others, notably supporting the opposition, feeling we were lucky.

Firstly a few posts belonging to the former category:

Four goals from five shots on target. That’s the sort of efficiency we’ve been lacking! #COYH

Not a 4-0 win but I’ll take it! #COYH

And secondly, a post supporting the latter case:

According to @BBCYork commentary an unfair result and an undeserved clean sheet for Shea!

To me, it’s a case of it being one of those games that could have ended in a much narrower score line but after what seemed like an eternity without Hatters’ action, I’m just glad Luton are back.
