The first game of the season is always hard to gauge, after the summer break there’s always an element of rustiness to shake off.
Yesterday, against Birmingham City, the Hatters were by far the better team against a Birmingham side who came determined to earn the point they started with and with a defensive mindset that is exactly, to our dismay, what they achieved.
Strangely enough, the Hatters looked good in every department, but it was the department that they bolstered the most, the attack, that couldn’t get that vital breakthrough Nathan Jones was looking for.
Visiting social media after the game, there were, perhaps, mixed reactions to the outcome of the game, with some believing Luton should have taken more from the fixture than a solitary point:
Disappointed we didn't get the points. Birmingham were shocking. We should have got more from that.

should be beating teams like Birmingham City @BCFC

Perhaps we should, but as we’ve learned from previous experience, you cannot take anything for granted in the Championship.
Other posts, on social media, reflected on Birmingham City’s negative stance:
Hard when playing 11 behind the ball time wasting

But others, despite the game ending in a draw, were happy:
Didn’t lose against our bogey team, I’ll take that

Really encouraging performance that. Most teams won’t come and sit 11 behind the ball and time waste almost instantly
New signings look quality. Good start to build on

A point is a point and always good to get something from the first game. Shame we didn't build on our 1st half dominance though. There was some decent football at times and some good individual performances too. Onwards to Burnley

My view is that it was the kind of game where one goal would have changed the whole scenario, if scored early enough the floodgates could have opened, there’ll also be fixtures where we play far worse but will end up with three points, such is life.

Burnley v Luton Town?
