Last night, down at Ashton Gate, a familiar face came to the Hatters rescue, equalising in stoppage time to give Luton a share of the spoils.
But while Danny Hylton gets the accolades for scoring is first Championship goal, it was not long ago that, here at Vital Luton Town, we were discussing his future.
Our article – the-danny-hylton-conundrum – carried the suggestion that Danny, if he were fit at the time, could well have left the club in the summer transfer window, but it also carried the inference, from Nathan Jones, that the striker could still do the club a service at this level.
Now, it remains to be seen just how frequently, when everyone is fit, Danny plays and how many goals he can score this season but give the lad credit where it is due.
Following the stoppage time equaliser, social media was alive with jubilant Luton supporters praising the striker:
Absolutely delighted for him. Whatever people think of him, he deserved to have a Championship goal on his CV at the very least. I'd have been happy if it had been a consolation in a heavy defeat, but to be one that earns us a deserved point is fantastic. SUPER DANNY HYLTON

He may be getting old, his best days may well be behind him but, like they say, never write off a natural goalscorer.
The question remains though, will he get any of the action on Saturday, against Swansea City, or will Nathan Jones revert to type?

Luton – Boss Left A Little Bemused
Like everyone I was pleased for Danny. But can he hack it in the championship. I said before the season started he would probably be sold. As injury an age we’re against him. But I was a fan of Jerome who is 3 yrs older than hylton as he was championship proven an could teach the younger players how to play in this league. Let’s not beat around the Bush it was a 1 yd tap into an empty net not a worldy. But it does give him the right to get his chance till Xmas. Then who knows?
1 yard tap in? I bet it felt as if it was 25 yards out considering how crucial it was for the side 🙂
Very proud of the team its a game I thought we should of won. Fair play to Hilton he got his goal hope he now gets some game time to prove people wrong
game time remains to be seen, but credit to the lad last night, he did us proud
1 yard tap in, bit he was there to put it in….how many times have we seen the ball go across the 6 yard box and no one there finish it.. .
never knock a 1-yard tap in, i remember a European Cup Final, in Rotterdam, where Aston Villa’s Peter Withe had a one-yard tap in and just about managing it with his effort skewing off his boot and going in off the inside of the post 🙂
Yes guys not disputing he had to be there to score. But how will he fare given 90 mins? An no disrespect he will give 110% but let’s see how he gets on if he is given his chance. Personally I think Jerome is a better option.
Not sure he could last 90 minutes but he could be a good impact player late on if we are chasing a game.
Chris I don’t envisage danny getting 90 mins, unless really extreme circumstances….
Well done Danny! He was a persistent pain for them from the moment he came on. Just like the Danny we all know. Always gave and still gives 100% . He’s up there for me with the icons and always excited our fans with his antics.
Well done to Nathan too for realising that a fit Danny Hylton has a lot to offer our club still.
prefer pereira to hylton,even chris could have scored that goal.hylton would be fantastic in league one,or two,just like he was for luton. got to get young players some time. if our defence was was at full strength,i think berry would have had a better game.he makes some clever passes.COYH. p.s. no disrespect to your footballing skills chris!!!!
No problem jimbo😊made me smile. The only player I know who would have missed it was Morrell thank god he’s gone. An even pompey fans are now wondering what they have got themselves
Hylts has more goals than collo this season….😄😄
He has, so the grass is not greener on the other side!
