Hatters matters... a word from the editor

WEMBLEY, Wembley, we’re the famous Luton Town and we’re going to Wembley...

Well after Tuesday’s stalemate at Brighton there’s a decent chance of Hatters earning a return to the scene of our greatest triumph – although this season may top that achievement if we recover from -30 points.

Of course it’ll be nice to secure such a showpiece match, but if we finish up out of the Football League, it’ll be little consolation if we end up with the paint pot trophy in the cabinet with a few complimentary brushes and some free magnolia emulsion to do up the office suites.

Following a few postponements we’ve had to wait a little longer than we’d like to finally escape a negative points tally. But after the walloping at Darlington it’s time to get up and running from Ground Zero and start hauling back Grimsby, Barnet and Bournemouth with a few (quite a few) consecutive wins.

It really is now or never time. Whether we can do that will depend on if we can start finding the net on a regular basis. At least Mick appears to have a choice of strikers at his disposal.

The latest arrival is Sunday-Akanni Wasiu – and that’s surely got to be the strangest name seen on the teamsheet since Landra Zahani Oni or ’70s loanee Forbes Phillipson- Masters.
