Wombles controlling game after initial Luton pressure! Something don't like is Luton got parachute payments but are using it for new ground? That's not what it's for think it's 29m in 2nd season... Time for it to go!

Poor game so far, both teams seem scared to have a shot.

Nothing to daunting for us to worry about quite a few set pieces in this league

Apparently Luton have paid over £1m for Yates

They can afford to, they're still getting parachute payments - even though a lot of that is going on their new stadium.

Luton have also lost about six of their best players. Brought in a few signings but not convinced they're better than what's left.

I think Luton will be up there, but just providing the facts.

That's true.

Remember when we played Huddersfield at home in the first game of the season that we first got promoted to the Premier League?

We huffed and puffed for the whole game and needed a very late goal from Mark Hudson to get the three points.
