Luton manager Nathan Jones has been a bit of a problem for the swans over recent fixtures, he seems to save his best for this fixture. The swans won at the Liberty but it wasn’t pretty, in fact it wasn’t even ugly, it was worse than that. Coupled with the swans recent form, albeit seven points from nine, it’s still a worry if an out of form Swansea can get anything from this game. A change of form is needed. Quickly.
Nathan Jones has never made it easy for the swans - ever
Last time out
Luton lost at Norwich City 3-0, Swansea City drew at Blackburn Rovers.
Previously
Since 2004 the swans have won five out of the last fixtures in all competitions. Last season Swansea won 1-0 at Kenilworth Road, and Luton won 1-0 at the Liberty.

Luton Facts
The club was founded in 1885 and became the first professional team in southern England in 1891. Back then it was over a hundred years ago. The side was promoted to the top-flight in 1981—82 and won the 1987—88 League Cup Final with a 3—2 victory over Arsenal. The club stayed in the top division until 1992. Then they left. They have never played in the premier league.
Charles Arthur Salvador (formerly Charles Ali Ahmed; Bronson, born Michael Gordon Peterson
The man known as Charlie Bronson, Britain’s longest serving inmate ( 47 years currently )is from Luton, he is quite old now, 69 next birthday, but would still give a few millennials a right good kicking as long as there wasn’t more than five of them at a time. Bronson wrote the foreword to Tommy Robinson’s book about his hooligan endeavours. A bit like Cardiff City it should have been a three page pamphlet, the front and back Included. The middle page for a picture of Walter Mitty.
Charles Bronson amongst other names is as hard as a hard thing from hardshire
Luton’s Star Man
A Manchester United academy graduate, the 26-year-old brings a huge amount of Championship experience to Kenilworth Road, having spent a majority of his career in the second tier. After he made two appearances in the League Cup, Tunnicliffe left Old Trafford in 2014, having spent time on loan at Peterborough United, Barnsley and Ipswich Town, joining Fulham for an undisclosed fee in 2014. He spent three-and-a-half years there, again, heading out on loan, this time to Blackburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic. He joined Millwall in 2017, spending two-years there, before joining the Hatters in the summer. Tunnicliffe made 40 appearances during his first season at Kenilworth Road, scoring his one and only goal in the 1-0 away victory against Middlesborough. At nine years old, Ryan was playing for Manchester United’s youth teams, and his dad managed to get odds on 100-1 on his son featuring for the first team, which earned him £10,000 in 2012.
Running to the cliff, that’s Ryan

Yep some clear rotation here, although for me it clearly weakens us.
Dhanda and Hourihane seem a little light weight against a scrappy team on their own patch.
Time will tell. |
No substitute for football ability and skill - and Dhanda and Hourihane have it in abundance. No, they’re neither of them, a Roy Keane type, but the construction of that goal and the execution of it was exactly what we’ve been crying out for.
Let’s see more football boys. That was beautiful. |  | | |

Luton has poor camera positions and the weather is terrible, you can see the camera shake when you hear the wind blow. |  |

Woodman -
1. He boots it 25 yards to their player.
2. Cross comes in, they head it in from 3 yards out. Woodman stays on his line. Offside thank goodness.
15 minutes gone. |  |

Agreed but the four behind them will have to work extra hard to allow them the freedom to play.
The wind is causing problems so unless we prevent them crossing I think they'll score at some point so we need to press on and put a couple on them first. | |

Sorry to be boring but I crap myself every time the ball goes anywhere near Woody.
It's almost laughable.
He is utterly flaky but a great touch finder. | |

Well 5 changes for a manager who doesn't rotate. What will be the stick to beat Cooper with if we don't win today then? |
That's an idiotic comment there Chief as it is designed to stifle honest discussion on our team and manager. Yes Cooper has had some unfair criticisms but most of the complaints have been based upon legitimate concerns and were (are) worthy of crtique. Enjoy the game (hopefully) |  |

He’s certainly becoming a concern. Reminds me of the Dorus situation. |  |

As I say that Woodman nearly gifts them an equaliser again.... luckily he got himself out of jail.
We will need to change him next season regardless of division in my opinion. I wouldn’t bring him in again. | |

I agree with you. He just made mistake number 3. 19 minutes in. | |

Join the club.He is a liability and I feel for him.
He really does not deserve to start.
Luton are dire
We should win this at a canter but Woody gives them every chance.
And you cannot .Woody has had a great season .innit | |

Woodman is having an absolute mare again.
Pretty easy tactic to score against us these days... Just press us high and wait till our keeper kicks the ball straight back to you. Not a lot of danger in pressing us high either, since we have no real pace to get in behind. | | | |

He is worrying but he’s been put in difficult positions unnecessarily 3 times already by the outfield players. | | | |

We just can't hold onto the ball, makes me nervous every time the ball is anywhere near Woodman, only a matter of time before they equalise if this continues. |  |

On a positive note, Korey Smith is pure class.
Master stroke of a signing. | |
