Luton v Swans Saturday 18 Sept 15:00
Next up is Luton away and a visit to their quaint little ground, where the entrance is in the middle of a terraced street and you go through back gardens to the Stand.
Luton are 13th in the table with 9 points and drew at Bristol City 1-1 in mid-week.
All their results from the start of the season are:
Luton 3 Peterboro 0
West Brom 3 Luton2
Barnsley 0 Luton 1
Luton 0 Birmingham 5
Luton 0 Sheff Utd 0
Blackburn 2 Luton 2
Bristol C 1 Luton 1
Some pretty good results there except that hiccup against Birmingham.
Meanwhile the Swans will be looking for points on the board and even to score a goal after two 0-0 home draws. With scoring goals a problem this season, its not really a surprise, when our three top scorers from last season were released at fire sale prices Ayew - Lowe - Roberts. The running down of contracts has got to stop, players are robbing clubs of a decent transfer fee. Letting players go to their last year of contract opens the door for cheap sales. Sign a new contract early or put them up for sale. Grimes is rubbing his hands with glee at the potential signing on fee when he becomes a free agent next June and moves on.
 
Team news, and the Swans have a full squad to pick from as Rhys Williams and Korey Smith are back in contention after injury.
Luton have Sonny Bradley, Jordan Clark, Admiral Muskwe, Fred Onyedinma and Allan Muskwe our injured, but Danny Hilton and Glen Rea are ready to return. Cameron Jerome is doubtful after going of injured mid-week.
 
Swans team this afternoon -
Hamer-Bennett-Naughton-Williams-Laird-Manning-Downes-Grimes-Walsh-Paterson-Obafemi
Subs-Benda-Latibeaudiere-Cabango-Smith-Fulton-Ntcham-Piroe
 
This insistence on playing out from the back is not working. We are getting bullied and dispossessed every time.
 
45’ Paterson shoots wide after a Grimes free kick, best chance so far.
HT: 3-0
Totally outplayed, Swans players confidence is shot, we could have been 6 or more goals down.
We can’t go on playing this system, it’s not working!
70% possession and two shots off target, unbelievable.

48’ Paterson hit the bar from a long range shot
Piroe, Cabango, Ntcham on
Williams, Downes, Walsh off
Much better so far
 
FT: Luton 3 - Swans 3
Amazing turn around by the Swans and notably two of the three subs have scored.
Luton on the ropes for most of the second half.
 
Phew, that was exciting.
The reality is that the unlikely point gained in the second half fight back only keeps us out of the bottom three on goal difference.
