ABOUT THIS EPISODE
THE NUMBERS SAY LUTON SHOULD BE 5TH… SO WHY ARE THEY 16TH? 😳
After an extended international break, the Town return to Sky Bet League One action with a short trip to Adams Park to face Wycombe Wanderers.
Kev and The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe look ahead to what feels like a hugely important contest — and there's plenty to discuss before Saturday's trip to Buckinghamshire.
The boys begin with some of the good news since the Bradford defeat, reflect on Luton's two Jersey Mike's Trophy victories and then turn their attention to Wycombe.
They look at the Chairboys' style, their threats and weaknesses, who Luton need to watch out for and where the Hatters can cause problems.
But there's also a BIG discussion around the numbers.
Following Jimbo's analysis of Luton's defensive statistics on The Lutonian https://thelutonian.com/the-luton-defensive-numbers-that-wilshere-believes-tell-a-very-different-story-to-their-goals-conceded-column/, Kev says Wilshere needs to use the data to understand why the Hatters are underachieving so badly — with the numbers suggesting Luton should be 11 places higher in the table, sitting fifth.
But as Kev puts it, it's time to move away from virtual predictions and make it happen in real life.
The boys also pick their starting XIs and discuss exactly what they want to see from the Hatters and, of course, there's a score prediction.
And there's another reason for optimism…
Luton have NEVER lost at Adams Park, while Wycombe are still waiting for their first league win at home this season.
Can the Hatters keep that record intact?
