It’s at this stage of the season, around the halfway point, that I start to pay serious attention to the league table.
With 22 of the 46 games played, in Luton’s case, the foundations have been laid that could, very well, determine the outcome of the season.
The fact that Luton’s game, against Millwall was postponed may have sullied the data slightly, but the table still makes for interesting reading.
From the 22 games played the Hatters have accumulated 30 points and occupy 15th place in the table, a mere 4 points adrift of the race for a play-off place but only 6 points clear of a relegation place.
This season, the Championship table is so compact it is hard to predict just where many teams will finish, I guess, for the neutral, this keeps things very interesting.
But when it comes to predicting just where Luton Town might finish, matters are somewhat complicated by the fact we’ve had a managerial change, with Nathan Jones now confined to the history books and Rob Edwards now in charge of the first team.
Although Edwards lost his first game in charge, I’m hopeful that, as they say, he gets his feet firmly under the table we’re more likely to be chasing a play-off place rather than trying to stave off relegation.
But, putting your head above the parapet, how do you sess the remainder of the 2022/2023 season going?
Are you brave enough to make a prediction?
