    Defeat again I’m afraid. Wally will go with the same unsuccessful approach, which will yield the same outcome.

    Walter Out. He should have gone after the Oxford game.

    Good questions from Stockholm and Oozkan. I expected Luton to be very strong this season (shows what I know :emoticon-0105-wink:) ....
    -> What's gone they were a PL team last season. Have they lost a lot of players?
    -> Does anyone know why Luton sucks, after all parachute money

    Perhaps they're using the money wisely; reinvesting in their infrastructure, setting them up for success in the future. You'd think they'd have enough about them to avoid relegation this season.

    Then again, I could say the same about us...

    Luton were prem last season

    But they had a pathetic season, 26 points
    We never got under 30 in any of our seasons

    And dont forget, both everton and forest had point deductions last season

    They had a **** squad last season, propped up with higher quality like ross barkley and andros townsend
    They barely spent anything this summer and have a fair few injuries

    But theres no way theyd finish playoffs with their current team

    They decided to use the Premier League money to build a new ground, rather than trying to compete in the Premier League. As the outcome would probably have been the same, even if they'd spent all the money on players, it was probably a good move (considering their current ground is falling down).

    Arctic weather on the way to make the visit to Luton even more of a pleasure than normal.

    He should have gone after the Sheffield United game. It was clear then he’s incapable of organising a professional football team.

    I remember when Luton went up they had such power, pace, physicality that they 'blew' most sides away. I remember thinking they had these attributes that we were missing - we had some decent players but were so lacking with real pace and physicality.
    They understandably spent on infrastructure rather than players, but did add a bit of experience and (relative) quality like Barkley. I thought they would come back down but would just be too strong once again for the Championship with the players they had when they went up and the new money.
    I don't know, maybe they've lost a few of those that got them there in the first place?

    Teams like that often seem to lose the momentum that got them up in the first place. Even if they have the same players, maybe the desire is slightly less when they're no longer underdogs trying to pull off an incredible upset and it just doesn't work any more.

    That would be very similar to my team except drop either Slater or Simons and have both Palmer and Puerta and possibly drop Bedia for Omur

    But we know it's going to be nothing like that

    That's very interesting, however as I said earlier around 80% of the other clubs have been Premier League regulars in the last 15 years which really does raise the standard of the comp. It's such a strong league, hence the reason Luton are really struggling
