So, on the transfer deadline day, when most minds will be on who is coming and going, there is the small matter of a match that could be crucial for Luton Town?s season.

This is the type of game Luton need to win, but a team like Wednesday down the bottom part of the league, there comes the problem – away from home. Luton haven?t won away since Cardiff City, a long time ago and are in desperate need to achieve a few more points on our travels if the play offs are going to be a possibility.

Vital Quotes:

Mike Newell on Luton Town Official site said:

‘I do believe the results will turn. It has been a dreadful run of results away from home but the form has never been that bad. I have said on many occasions that we have dominated games but have had nothing to show for it.

‘I do believe that has got to turn somewhere along the line. I would like to come away from one of these places and say maybe we didn’t deserve the three points but that hasn’t happened this season.’

Paul Sturrock on Sheffield Wednesday?s Official Site said:

‘Luton play an open style. They get people forward and try to score more goals than you. If you look at their results, there are lots of 3-2’s and 4-3’s. The one ingredient that can kill you in this league is draws. Luton go all out and you’ll find they’ve either won or lost with few draws.

‘It is an important one for us and it would be nice to put ourselves back on the rails with three points. We have to try and distance ourselves from the bottom three and the only way you can do that is by winning football games.’
