Yesterday, speculation was rife that the Hatters were set to welcome another goalkeeper to Kenilworth Road, on an emergency loan.
It was something we covered in an article – luton-on-verge-of-signing-new-keeper.
Confirmation came through, late in the afternoon, from the Official Site that Hull City had agreed to let their experienced keeper, Matt Ingram, join the Hatters.
As part of the terms of the ‘emergency loan’ Ingram must start in the Hatters last two fixtures of the regular season and, I’d imagine, if Luton reach the play-offs the loan period will be further extended.
But, with the news official, how was it received on social media?
Taking a look at the comments left by Hull City fans, it looks as if we’ve signed a competent keeper and also one that is well liked by those from Humberside:
Great chance for Matt to compete at the top end of the division, he deserves the chance to after his performances for us this season. Emergency loans are always a bit odd but fair play to us for letting him go and hopefully he does well and we've not seen the last of him #hcafc

Good luck to him but hope he doesn't enjoy it too much and have his head turned

Good luck Matt, hope you will be back with us soon. Go do it for Luton, they deserve the success more than most, hopefully you can help them to it.

It’s great to see Hull supporters wishing us, and Matt, all the best in our quest to reach the Premier League.
But it seems that the Hatters support are very appreciative of what Hull have done for us in our, apparent, hour of need:
Thank you Hull City. Not many wanted to help us. We appreciate it. Big respect 🧡🖤🤝🏼

Much respect to Hull City for this decision…..thanks guys 👌👌

Class from Hull to let us have him. A lot of other clubs would not do the same…..respect 🙌

My only concern is that Ingram will be thrown in at the deep end and will start the Fulham game having no experience playing behind the Hatters back-line, which could prove to be a problem against such a decent side as Fulham.
But, on the other hand, two decent performances could see Ingram being touted as a possible summer signing, even more so with his contract, with Hull, on the verge of expiring.
