Middlesbrough have been found out already, they cant cope with crosses into the box and they cant stop them coming from wide.

Any team with a big set piece threat will score against them like luton are doing

2-2 half time Luton Vs Boro

Looks like nothing has changed over the summer with the officiating... clear penalty shout for Luton..... ref couldn’t see it but assistant ref had a clear view and ignored it....

Glad to see the season is back

Luton looking very vulnerable when playing out from the back. They seem uncomfortable with it.
We can punish that with a high press

Both of these teams will struggle when they play the better teams neither look very good

Nice comeback from Luton, point a piece, 3 goals each, nice baptism into the Championship for Luton, Boro don’t look good at the back either

FULL TIME: Luton Town 3-3 Middlesbrough

Not impressed with Lutons goalie....

Thought their holding midfielder was awful as well, got caught on the ball about 5 times when he was lulling on it. Think a few of them need to realise they wont get the time on the ball that they probably did in league 1. However I thought Luton did ok and I know its difficult to base it on 1 game but I think their will be worst teams than them this season and I imagine quite a few teams will struggle against Luton at their place. But a good watch anyway.

Not impressed with Lutons goalie....

Thought he did alright apart from Assombalonga's goal.

But we should be having players following in from long shots in case he spills them.

Really enjoyed that game. Luton looked a lot more threatening than I expected, so let’s hope they don’t travel well. A high pressing game against them should see us to three points - Murphy and NML could rip them apart if they can grab loose balls.

Leeds won 3-1 at Bristol City today.
