The Hatters season, in my opinion, re-starts this afternoon as we seek to stave off the threat of relegation.
Back in August, when we opened our 2023/2024 season with a trip to Brighton, I’d have willingly snapped your hand off if you’d have suggested we’d still be in with a decent chance of retaining our Premier League status with a dozen games to go.
However, there can be no more pussy footing around, no more defensive mistakes, every point dropped sees that relegation trap door creak open a little bit more.
This afternoon, the Hatters make the relatively short trip to Selhurst Park, to take on Crystal Palace, a club who have recently axed Roy Hodgson and appointed Oliver Glasner, who has influenced something of a Palace revival which has seen the South London club put a gap of eight points between us and them.
If, as I hope, our season is to start (again) today, the Hatters will need to reverse a recent trend that has seen Luton Town lose their last our Premier League fixtures on the bounce, but despite taking 0 points from the last 12 available, the Luton support, in our pre-match poll, reckon the Hatters will take the three points on offer with 71% showing confidence in the injury depleted squad.
As for the remainder of those that voted, 16% can see it ending in a draw while the remaining 13% reckon it’ll end in a fifth straight Premier League defeat for Rob Edwards.
As for me, I’ve every confidence that, if we can eliminate those costly defensive errors, we will get back to winning ways.
