Can Luton make it five in five – Hatters V Hatters

By Ian Robertson

So it’s the Hatters V Hatters and can Luton make it 5 wins in 5 in the league and continue their winning run?

Well tonight we will see and it looks like the town will have to make it another grinding result if we are to win with the prospect of another three players out the town find them with injury worries this is what Gary Brabin had to say when he spoke to lutontown.co.uk.

“Jim Gannon has gone back in, who’s an ex-manager there and well thought of. He’s changed things around from what Didi was doing previously and by all accounts they’ve been a bit unlucky. I don’t believe there are any easy games in this league and I’m certainly not going into the game thinking it’s going to be. Stockport was also one of the favourites to go up. Things haven’t gone according to plan but they’ve still got the nucleus of that side who were going to be the favourites. As we know as a club, there’s no easy way straight back up and although Stockport aren’t challenging for promotion, I’m sure they will feel there’s only one way and that’s up and for them and there’s no bigger scalp than Luton Town away.”

With Amari still out, If Crow was to be out for tonight’s game then that leaves a good opportunity for fleet’s and O’Connor to partner up and maybe forge a partnership and score a few goals.

As Brabin said Stockport were one of the favourites for the title and things haven’t gone to plan but they will be a big threat and are a big strong side we need to be wary of them.

But Luton will and should be confident ahead of the game with winning their last 5 matches in all competitions they are riding high at the moment and long may it continue.

So a week or more has past and the town still haven’t brought anyone in but there has been renewed interest in the league’s top scorer Shaw from Gateshead and some strong speculation of a move for Howells from Ipswich, Does this mean a deal could be on for Drury?

This is in NO WAY OFFICIAL it is purely a reflection through the eyes of a Luton Fan, if your opinion is different to the one above then good for you SHARE IT BELOW

Hatters out to heap more misery on Exiles

NEWPORT County AFC have found their second season in the Blue Square Bet Premier considerably tougher than first time round as they sit one place above the relegation zone going into Saturday’s clash at Kenilworth Road.

County are level on points with Alfreton and Kettering and defeat could see them drop into the bottom four if other results go against them.

The Exiles had gone into this campaign with high hopes after finishing ninth last season, but manager Anthony Hudson, who was appointed when Dean Holdsworth left for Aldershot, was sacked and former Rushden & Diamonds boss Justin Edinburgh took charge.

Transfer News

Luton Town boss Gary Brabin has confirmed that he’s received no bids for his players and he’s made none for any at other clubs.

With the transfer window six days old, the manager has already offloaded Matthew Barnes-Homer, terminating his contract by mutual consent, while tying up the transfers of loanees Janos Kovacs and Greg Talyor in one-and-a-half year deals.

But there has been no other toing and froing, though that’s not to say there won’t be.

When asked whether there were any deals imminent, Brabin said: “Not at the moment, no. We’re always looking for someone who’se going to improve us though.

“There’s certainly not been any bids for our players. I know there’s a lot of interest, but no-one’s picked up the phone and enquired.

“We’ve not had any offers and we’re glad about that. We’re certainly not in any rush to sign anyone either.
