Luton – More Positives Than Negatives
Once again, just as the 2021/2022 gathers momentum, it comes to a shuddering halt to allow international football to take centre stage.
For us England fans, we have the delight (not) of watching England continue their World Cup qualifying campaign with two colossal games against the mighty Albania (h) and the awe-inspiring San Marino (a), could you really ask for two more inspiring fixtures?
But the break does allow me to bring to the surface a few article I have had on the backburner.
The first, naturally relating to our Hatters, relates to our form, specifically the positives and negatives.
Starting with the negatives, has anyone else noticed that when we concentrate on Championship fixtures, this season, Luton Town have failed to win TWO games on the bounce, with our current record reading as thus:
WLWLDDDDLWDWDWLWL
It is certainly enigmatic!
But, in my opinion, the positives far outweigh the negatives.
Now my view is that, so far, we have had a decent season, on a couple of occasions we have flirted with the play-off places and as we plunge towards the boredom that is the third international break of the season, we sit in 11th place with 24 points, but, more importantly, in touching distance of the last play-off place, 6th, which, coincidentally, our next opponents, Queens Park Rangers currently occupy.
Also, another positive is that after expressing concerns, pre-season, about who would solve the goal scoring problem following the departure of James Collins to Cardiff, both Elijah Adebayo and Harry Cornick have stepped up, scoring 8 and 7 goals (already) this season.
Overall, as we contemplate watching England mix it with two of the big boys of world football, I would say we are sitting pretty, but what are your feelings on how things have gone so far?
