The first international break of the season is over and the Hatters are set to resume their EFL Championship campaign with a trip to the New Den.
After a two week break, for many, including me, the resumption cannot come quick enough, for others there is the fear that our poor start to the season could continue.
Four EFL Championship games into the season and Luton Town have earned a miserly 1 point out of the 12 available. As for our opposition today, Millwall, they have fared marginally better taking 4 points out of the 12 available.
The two week break, for the international foray, saw Rob Edwards strengthen the side, bringing in the experienced Victor Moses, on a free transfer, with the Nigerian international expected to play some sort of role during this fixture, although our other recent signing, Thomas Strauss, is still confined to the treatment table.
With the 1230 hour kick off fast approaching, we are now able to bring you the confirmed team sheets.
Starting with our hosts, Millwall:

Hopefully, the Hatters will get that crucial first win of the season, although our pre-match poll suggests it will be a tight affair with 42% predicting a Luton win, 39% going for a home win and the remaining 19% opting for a draw.
My opinion is that, after the two week break, the Hatters will come out and grab that vital first win, by the odd goal in three!

Luton Town v Sheffield Wednesday?
Luton Town to Win!
Sheffield Wednesday to Win!
A Draw!

Expect to see nakamba get a half then a change at half time not sure about Chong with Ady let’s hope it works
Hi all. A good battling away win, at a normally unhappy hunting ground. Just an insight for you all. During the international break, I was at a physios seminar. About 95% of physios are questioning why modern day coaches/managers want the pre match warm ups to be nearly 45 mins. This, in theory makes matches nearly 2.5 hours long( including added time). We got ( the medical team) slated last season for the amount of hamstring injuries, but having spoken to many others clubs physios, most clubs had the same problem. Is this pre match ritual linked to the problem????
Hi Alan,, I find that very interesting and honestly it doesn’t surprise me. Every person is built different a blanket time for every player to all adhere to is now to me obvious.going back in time for a study mike Harrison was plagued by hamstring injury he had huge thighs and maybe all the training and warm ups before games exasabated his problem. Do you think it’s time coaches let the medical team work out a correct programme for each player and adapt their thinking about warm ups?
Totally what was discussed chris. I also remember the problems Mike had. Whether anything changes remains to be seen.
