    Swansea v Luton

    Swansea v Luton Sunday 29 Dec 15:00
    Can the Swans replicate that top quality QPR performance against Luton?
    It was only three weeks ago that we played out a 1-1 draw at Luton in the reverse fixture at Kenilworth Road and were unlucky not to win.
    The challenge now is consistency and to keep up that high standard of performance in future matches.
    With a condensed schedule of three matches coming up in the next six days it’s a chance for any in-form team to shoot up the table with nine points on offer. Could Swansea be that team? So often this season we’ve played the top sides and lost by bad luck and the odd goal.
    It was only last week that we lost to bottom club Hull so predicting how well we’ll do from match to match is almost impossible.
    A clue to how we played so well against QPR is in the article below, where LW reveals how he stayed away from the dressing-room and let captain Matt Grimes give the pre-match and half-time talk. What did MG say to motivate the team? It certainly worked whatever went on.

    Swans 2 (Franco 38’, Harris 91’) - Luton 1 (Morris 5’)
    A hard fought match this one. With Luton playing a high line Swans were finding it difficult to pass out from the back and goalkeeper Vigouroux gifted Luton the lead within five minutes with a suicidal clearance under pressure straight to Clinton Morris. Swans recovered to equalise before half-time time with Franco scoring his second goal in as many matches.
    An early second half clash with Franco and burly Luton defender McGuinness ended up with Franco going off with blood pouring from his mouth and displaced lower jaw teeth.
    Luton, as a result of their over aggressive play were down to ten men when Johnson walked with his second booking of the match on 68 minutes. The dismissal swung the match. Luton held on bravely, with Swans dominating play until finally they broke Luton’s resistance and scored a late injury time winner, a Peart-Harris header for his first goal of the season.

    Sorry boys I missed this one, sounds like it was a hard match with Luton getting stuck in and a weak ref not controlling them with Franco getting taken out by McGuiness, no card shown, ref bottled it as McGuiness was already on one yellow and should have gone off.
    Three points in the end though that’s the main thing.
