    Beware Luton.

    Just watched their match and that Fred Odinimya is a real threat for them.

    I suspect we might find them a handful next week.

    Was thinking the same. Scored 14 goals in pre season? Probably one of the best pre seasons followed by a 3-0 championship win. No room for complacency.

    You will hear a lot of language from my seat Mick if we are not pressing them and in front!

    It’s our ability to defend the ball over the top that worries me, our centre halves are not quick enough to high press and recover, thankfully Odinimya is more a poacher / finisher than a speed merchant, that said I’m sure he would relish a race with Bartley. As I have said before Liverpool won the league because the two fastest players in the title winning team were their centre backs (no joke) without them they were far more vulnerable..

    Ajayi could beat any player if needed so perhaps he’s the answer. Don’t care if we win 4-3 as long as it’s exciting football and we get three points!

    Luton don’t worry me as Peterborough were
    S hit!!! Some are worrying too much - we should of beat Bournemouth away and in my opinion they will be the biggest threat in the league!!!! So Luton at home - FFS!!!!

    I'm expecting Luton to press high. This one will be end to end, our back three are going to have to switch on with Townsend and Furlong providing better cover out wide than against Bournemouth for diagonals over the top when Luton look to break our own press. Might not be one for the purists but it's going to be entertaining nonetheless. COYB.
