Match Preview;
Our 1-1 draw away at Norwich on Tuesday was a valuable point, and more importantly a much better performance. It is a draw which ensures (unless there are any surprises in the next 7 hours 30 minutes) that Warburton manages us going into 2021. The result leaves us 19th in the table, and 5 points from the drop zone.
As for Luton, they find themselves 13th in the league, on 30 points. Last year was their first year back in the Championship after two promotions in two years, and they managed to finish 19th, and so it looks like this year they are continuing to move in the right direction. Their top scorer is James Collins, who has 9 goals so far this year, no one else has scored more than 2 for them this season.
If we can keep up the performance from the Norwich game I am hopeful about this one, but that is a big IF...and as we all know from experience, motivating a team when the opposition is top of the league is sometimes easier than when they are 13th...so lets hope Warburton and can get the players ready and fired up for this one.
Added note, Luton beat Reading 1-0 in the cup yesterday, so here's hoping they don't go into Tuesday night on a high after a good cup win. We, on the other hand, lost after extra time, so don't have the encouragement of a cup win, and played an extra 30 minutes of football. Never want us to lose, but taking BOS, Chair, Carroll and Cameron off in the last ten minutes was as good as giving up in my book. I can understand if Warburton did it with Tuesday in mind, but I'd have almost rather seen us concede in the 90th minute and save everyone's time with extra time. Just hoping we don't suffer on Tuesday night as those who played 120 minutes on Saturday will, understandably, need longer to recover.
Those who are watching, enjoy, hope everyone has a good, albeit quiet New Year, and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!
