Luton Support Graciously Accepts West Bromwich Albion Home Defeat
Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and accept that the opposition were the better side than you were.
You can argue all you want about refereeing decisions and what might or might not have been, but it was plain for all to see, on Saturday, the visitors were the better team.
Arriving at Kenilworth Road, with a record of 8 wins in their last 9 Championship games, it looked as if the Hatters had put Albion to the sword when early goals from Carlton Morris and Elijah Adebayo had Kenilworth Road buzzing.
But once West Brom had settled, it was backs to the wall stuff and it came as no surprise that the visitors not only pulled those two goals back but got a winner.
It’s always hard to eat humble pie, especially after I’d predicted, before the game, Luton would sneak a win, but sometimes it must be done.
Thankfully, I’m not alone in thinking we got what we deserved against West Brom with social media alive with people thinking the same:
Best team we've played this season. Got absolutely pumped lucky to only lose by 1 realistically🤣 Bring on the week of Wigan😍

Beaten by the much better side, we move onto the next game. COYH.

They fully deserved that. We couldn’t string a pass all second half. I’ve seen better refs in Sunday league

We were second best for 70 minutes. We didn’t deserve a result

TBH beaten by the better team but 2-0 up then sit back for 80 mins ain't great

The result drops the Hatters down the table, but I’m not too concerned, the difference in points between our position and the play-offs , remains minimal and with two games, away to Wigan next up, first a FA Cup replay and then an EFL Championship match, we have the ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways.
