I`d say that any slim chances of Luton achieving automatic promotion disappeared at a wet and windy Racecourse Ground last night.
Needing to close the gap on a Wrexham side trying to catch the current Conference leaders Fleetwood Town, Luton were to come away from Wales empty-handed and must now concentrate on ensuring a play-off place, and the subsequent thrills and spills becomes a reality.
Any hopes Luton had of keeping the game tight diminished as early as the sixth minute when Wrexham took the lead with the goal coming when Danny Wright took advantage of some space in the Hatters defence to head home a ball in from Pogba.
Matters got worse, six minutes before the break when Wrexham doubled their lead when Keates drilled in a shot from just outside the area to give Luton a mountainous task to overcome.
Despite Gary Brabin making two changes at half time, with McAllister and Willmott replacing Boucard and O`Connor, it was to be too tough a task for Luton, instead matters were to go from bad to worse, late in the game when John Paul Kissock, on as a sixty-ninth minute substitute for Greg Taylor, was shown a straight red card by the referee Harrington for violent conduct.
So it`s time to re-group, ensure we don`t make a mess of not achieving at least a play off place and look forward to a titanic two-legged semi-final tussle with York City in the FA Trophy.
And as for automatic promotion, I`d say that went down the pan during that poor patch we had at the start of the season.
