Very lively start, Luton score to level the tie and within a minute, Sunderland do everything but score in an amazing scramble - doesn’t feel like it will end with eleven against eleven.

Cody Drameh and Alfie Doughty pressing the flanks for Luton. Can't we get the person who susses our loans to take overall recruitment?Quote:

Good point, been impressed by Doughty, Tom Lockyer makes it 2-0, Luton are murdering Sunderland in the air.Quote:

F*ck Luton. Fanbase full of Tommy Robinson wannabes.
Come on S’unlan
Doughty’s taking some wicked corners, can’t remember him taking one for us.
Watching this Luton Team I can't help thinking our fans wouldn't be happy if we'd signed some of those players but they are light years ahead of us.
Him and Dramah were excellent for us, both would have started in our team hands down.Quote:

What stands out a mile is how much quicker both sides are on the ball than City. Our lot are so ponderous by comparison.
Cody Drameh, oh dear, oh dear.
A great achievement for a small club.
Enjoyable game....played at pace. Have to wonder how Luton would get by IF they got promoted, with a gate of 10,500 for such an important game.....less than Wrexham I think.
Drameh drama. How selfish was that? Silly boy.Quote:

Luton by far the better side and good luck to them at Wembley.
Have got no chance whatsoever in the Prem.
They said that about Brentford and BournemouthQuote:

5 Seasons there before promotion in 13/14.
Back to the championship for 19/20.
Play off last season, now one match away from the premier league.
Totally agree.Quote:

Folk seem to forget that Luton had at least two spells in the old First Division - it wasn't only their episode outside of the Football League
In the 50s's, they had England internationals, like Ron Baynham, Sid Owen and Bernard Stretem ('The Cat').
Then in the 80's they had top players such as Ricky Hill and Brian Stein.
Eric Morecombe was a director and David Pleat a manager.
They have pedigree.
Luton just did the double on City but only 1-0 in each game. City beat Sunderland 1-0 up there and they won the return 1-0 at CCS. All close games. City deserved a point at Luton and at home to Sunderland. Hardly ‘hands down’ defeats though in any of the games. Indicates that perhaps City were not quite as bad as some people like to make out but also that either of the other two would struggle in the Premier League.Quote:

City finished 21st in the table. They were every bit as bad as people have made out.
Close game :hehe: :hehe: we should have been about 3 goals down at half time!Quote:
