There were some people predicting that Luton might finish the season with the lowest ever points total, and without any wins all season. Well, right now they are sitting outside of the relegation zone (thanks to Everton’s points deduction) and have 9 points. They’ve bagged their second win of the season and the first in front of their home fans. All they need is 3 more points all season to beat Derby’s record.
I decided to watch today’s game and it was certainly an entertaining one. Really pleased to see them get a result and their young English manager doing a great job. It’s gotta be especially sweeter for both Edwards and for Luton, considering that hated rivals Watford sacked him early last season (after just 11 games) and he is now doing a good job in the league above Watford having gotten Luton promoted!
It’s more the management of Kompany which made people turn heads. And their amazing Championship win
Yeah Kompany having the Pepstink™ on him definitely gave people ideas.
The amazing win though, it’s not that rare for teams to blow away everybody in the Championship with flowing attacking football. It’s so not rare it’s called doing a Norwich.
The problem is teams don’t play that sort of football in the prem, and even if any team was to try it they would have to be incredibly good.
So when a team like Norwich or Burnley gets promoted and sticks to their tactics against teams who are fitter, faster and better drilled, they always get pumped.
