Luton Town boss says what’s ‘bugging’ him ahead of Sheffield Wednesday clash
Luton Town manager Rob Edwards is looking forward to Saturday’s home game with Sheffield Wednesday.
Luton Town manager Rob Edwards believes his side are starting to show signs of the attitude that saw them promoted into the Premier League as they prepare to host Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
Just 12 months ago, the Hatters were mixing it with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City in English football’s top tier after securing what some would consider to be a surprise promotion during the previous season. Despite picking up some eye-catching wins over Newcastle United, Everton and Brighton, Edwards’ side were relegated back into the Champions and their return to the second tier has been a difficult one.
A 4-1 home defeat against Burnley set the tone for the first month of the season as Luton collected just one point from away days at Portsmouth and Preston North End, as well as a home game against Queens Park Rangers. However, there was some light relief for the Hatters on Saturday when an early goal from Teden Mengi helped see off Millwall at The Den to belatedly rack up their first win of the season. The three points took Edwards’ side out of the Championship relegation zone – and the Hatters boss admitted there was a ‘big relief’ after securing a win before urged his side to take the moment into this weekend’s home clash with Wednesday.
