A Luton view

White in Exile

Unfortunately for us, Preston are in very good form. They are unbeaten at home, winning 6 of their 8 home matches in the process. They are second in the league, four points behind Cardiff in 1st place and 7 points clear of Luton down in 11th. They have also won four of their last five games, with just one defeat against 3rd place Burnley. On top of all that, Luton have failed to win at Preston since 1971-72. Basically, everything is set up for a Preston victory. Two players should be playing against their former clubs tomorrow at Deepdale. Graham Alexander left Luton in the late 90's to join Preston and has been there ever since. His form has transformed since leaving Luton (then again he was playing under Lennie Lawrence), and his performances for Preston saw him earn a Scotland call up. For Luton, Steve Robinson will be starting against his former club. Robbo scored just one goal for Preston, and didn't make many appearances before moving on.
Prediction
To cut a long prediction short, Luton won't win and Feeney won't score. If either of these things happen then I'll apologise to the team and/or Feeney. But they won't. 3-1 to Preston North End, and Luton will have to recover against QPR instead.

Ain't it good to see opposing fans afraid of us!
 
Re: A Luton view

A Luton mate of mine reckons that we'll tubb em by 4 goals.

He is dreading it.
 
Re: A Luton view

I think a win by 1 goal ie 2-1 or 1-0. A tad pessimistic I know but we can't get too carried away. As long as we win I don't care
 
Re: A Luton view

Nice and enthusiastic from the Luton fans 🙂 id say 3-1 Preston.
 
Re: A Luton view

I think it's a potential bannana skin match.
I'd settle for a draw followed by 4 straight wins.
It's winning games that matter not the 'fool's gold' of unbeaten runs which we saw lots of last season.
 
Re: A Luton view

The Luton camp is a little unsettled after the sad occurence of the stroke suffered by their young centre half. however, they could take some strength from it and bond as a team. I guess its probably still early days. We can't be sympathetic all the same. I don't think it will be a walk in the park 3 or 4 goals, Luton are a good footballing side, another team to tonk Leeds. I predict we will edge it, maybe 2-0.
 
Re: A Luton view

Looks like Luton come to Deepdale half beaten already, so our players just need to do the other half. But in all honesty, most teams are dreading their trips up here, which could only be good for us. The first goal tomorrow will be crucial, if we score, then there is no way back for them.
 
Re: A Luton view

I think we'll scrape a 1-0 / 2-0 ....with an Alexander Pen involved .....Luton are Hot & Cold ...theyve had a bad run ....but i can vision Newall sayin " ..its an improvement from recent weeks ...i thought we deserved something ..blah blah .. " ... so i think we'll be up against a determined side tomoz ...more so than that shower of yorkshire shit we stuffed midweek.

but the bottom line is ...i dont care aslong as We pick up another 3 points ..its important to make sure were not dropping points at home .....coz some teams are starting to get it together
 
Re: A Luton view

Wot about a chant for Sol Davis poor lad he is out of hospital now but it is still a long way to go.. You never know he might be listning to local radio it should give him a lift if he can hear fans chanting his name.
 
Re: A Luton view

Hopefully Foley will still be out.

They played Holmes and, importantly, Edwards at full back against Burnley.

We need to bang some crosses in as Marlon doesn't come off his line anymore (if he ever did; can't remember). This should be exploited at set pieces eg Hayden Foxe's headed consolation goal for Leeds the other week.
 
Re: A Luton view

A banana skin in the making. Luton have the potential to kick ass. They are a well organised side (like PNE), with a team (like PNE), with the ability to out-football a footballing side. The 5-0 defeat v Ipswich was a blip.

Nothing like being opptimistic is there!! LOL

I'm expecting them to come ready and fired up, not the walk over some of the 'Media' sights are printing!! However i do expect us to win!
 
Re: A Luton view

"You CANNOT be serious!"

It's not physically possibly. It must take at least a month or two to be able to speak properly. Let alone play against David Nugent and Simon Whaley.

It can't be true.
 
Re: A Luton view

No he'll most probs be back in six months time as of yesterday he was still slightly paralysed down the left hand side and his speech isn't back to normal as yet. I speak from someone who has lots of experience of strokes in the family and he most certainly won't be playing today! If he is its a miracle!
 
Re: A Luton view

yeah ....well ...i got the Alexander pen bit right ....shouldve put it in the prediction league ...

great result ..im over the moon ..little bit gutted about burnley last min ...an Derby's improving form ...But good to seee Leeds get another beating ...
