    It seems like they've planned this from the start to fund their new stadium so big names and big wages are unlikely.

    It was tiring hearing PL commentators waffling on about how passionate and loyal their support is, how they sold out every away game and packed ‘The Kenney’…

    … the few hundred scattered around the away section, last night, were only singing about how shyte our support is <laugh>

    I take comfort in Utd’s 3-0 home defeat to Hull …

    … and this is a critical match for Luton.

    Their following match is against Plymouth who are flying and went above them last night.

    Delighted we have played such a big part in how their season has gone so far , and here's hoping we see no more of Luton FC for a very long time. OaU .

    They were terrible. Looked like a team that didn't have a coach or couldn't do what he was asking.
    Plymouth have took off which makes it even harder for Luton. I think they'll drop. They didn't look that bothered last night at all

    The question is, are there three teams worse than Luton ...

    ... no, is the answer.

    Their derby, next season, will be against AFC Wimbledon.

    Luton and teams like them are like music, get it rammed down your throat enough and you get fed up of it and you don't listen anymore. That's how I felt when they got promoted, every outlet went on and on and on about them, so I got fed up of them.

    Good comparison that.
    Like Ed Sheeran/Sam Fender/Adele (insert any other over-hyped ****e here).
    Will be pleased when I don't have to see or hear any of them ever again.

    Luton are bang in trouble, that was one of the worst and most passive performances I've ever seen at the SOL.

    We def made them look poor but that was shocking from them

    It felt like a 3rd round cup tie with Grimsby Town showing up ...

    ... not one of their players would be a starter at Sunderland.

    It's hard to see how Bloomfield can pull them out of it, he seems quite weak to me.

    Part of the problem is that some players believe they're PL level and he's never managed above L1.

    I'm quite pleased because Luton are a club I've always hated.

    Buy league 1 players, get a league 1 manager, play league 1 football,
    Guess where you end up....yep, league 1.

    Good riddance to them as well.

    Yep. Passive was the word I didn't think of.

    You'd expect a team so badly on the slide and so badly in trouble to be throwing themselves about a bit, but there was an air about them that would have had me raging if it had been us. In fact, it reminded me of us, when we wimped our way to relegation twice on the belt. It will take some doing to pull them away from the spot they are in now, though if they insist, they can start against Sheff Utd on Saturday!

    Their recruitment has been really poor considering they were in the PL last season

    Always hate playing teams like them as we do struggle at times with big physical teams but as soon as I saw the starting line up I had zero doubts we would win - was the most relaxed I've been in a long time watching us
