More praise of Luton here. My previous game to this was Exeter and we lost 2-0 because we were awful and they were competent. Yesterday we lost 2-0 because we were ok and they were bloody good. Best team I have seen in a long time.

It wasn't just that they moved the ball so well and had options for every man on the ball, it was the pace at which they did everything was frightening. They should comfortably win the league if they keep playing like that. As well as technical ability they had a great desire to win the ball back and chase everything down. All round they were so strong.

The other thing I really noted is I finally can see progress. Having missed our decent run I wasn't sure if we were doing things right or just playing even worse teams. I had been wondering why sack Bignot when, ok it all seemed clueless on the pitch, but we seemed to have a long-term plan of younger players in general. I felt we had swapped that for older mecenaries who didn't care but were equally clueless on the pitch. Yesterday I saw the change, we would of lost by 4 or 5 last year or under Bignot. There was a proper commitment to block everything and an organisation to stop most attacks.  So despite still not having seen us score in bloody ages I was much happier travelling back yesterday.

I see Luton were scoring for fun again today

5-0 at Swindon ( all in the second half too ) so us conceding just the two goals to them on Saturday doesn't seem that bad in reality

If they carry on in this vein for the second half of the season, I can't see anyone else but them being crowned champions
