Luton – Support Not Fazed By Defeat

Defeats are never palatable, but some hurt far more than others.

Perhaps the level of hurt is distinctively linked to the quality of opposition you lose to.

Yesterday, with the team set to take on Norwich City, at Carrow Road, I sensed that among the Luton support, any thoughts of a Hatters win were minimal, the belief that we would be luck to get a draw was prevalent.

Although Luton had already beaten Norwich City twice this season, the fact that the Canaries had amassed a 10-point lead at the top of the table and were odds-on to get promoted influenced opinion.

When the final whistle sounded, the Hatters walked off the pitch having been on the end of a 3-0 defeat but were by no means shamed by their performance.

Thanks, but before finishing, perhaps I should leave you with the following:
