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

"So, carry on. We're finding ways to win and get points. We have done all season without an out-and-out starting number nine and so we'll continue our work."
What's the situation here then Gyokeres couldn't have been his choice, that's another dig at recruitment, 100% |
Doubt it’s a dig, a few weeks ago we were saying how good it had been
Good number 9s don’t grow on trees and fewer available on loan this year
Think we’d have been ok with Morris and Cullen looked to be getting up to pace of the league before the injury |  |

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) |
No it's not at all is it. Lack of rotation is one of the things that gets thrown at Cooper a lot. He's made several changes today. If we don't get a result, there will be people who'll find other things to criticise him for warranted or not.
If anything my point provokes debate, not stifles it. |  |

Hope he’s ok. His dad was a player I remember from the 70’s and 80’s West Ham side’s |
He played later than that. He played in the cup game when Julian dicks scored in the last minute. |  |

Disagree. Recently this board has demonstrated a hard core of optimists/happy-clappers who berate anyone with a pertinent point that is in the form of a criticism. You just added to the demonisation of others. |  |

More likely if we lose people will point at the changes and claim Cooper was right to run most of the first XI into the ground.
The standard of football we generally employ these days however is atrocious. It's not a surprise that a player of Hourihane's class is looking lost half the time. |  |

It looked a good side on paper, looked like it would show plenty of attacking intent, but Luton's movement and pace has been excellent and we've been up against it a lot of the time, moreso with us making school boy errors. |  | | |

Very difficult conditions today with wind swirling and gusting to 50mph making it hard for our defence and keeper with Woodman looking shaky today. Well taken goal from us though has given us a good chance against a big quick powerful Luton side who are playing well. | |

Going back to your post was there a pertinent point or were you making a disposable comment for someone to seize on so you could claim your point was in relation to something else as you gave little/no context. | |

With Luton pushing up and the swirling wind, get Lowe on 2nd half. This ref worries me with 2 of our back 3 on yellow cards. |  |

The conditions are just as difficult for them mind. Hopefully moreso in the 2nd half if wind is gusting their end like it was for us, in first half, they'll probably keep doing what they've been doing though and keeping the ball on the floor and pass it with pace and keep up their good movement.

Some brave selections there. |
Not simply brave, but very clever in so many ways.
Some say CH should not OF being playing. Not a clue.
We're a different proposition with Bennett bossing. Our best spine is restored and balanced (FW - RB - MG - CH-AA). Our previously woeful distribution from the back speaks volumes. Grimes doesn't have to sit so deep to protect and cajole.
Let's hope our clever selection, ongoing rotation and unrivalled spirit and self confidence continues to prevail. And keep the ignorant doom merchants in their place, behind their sofas, with their eyes wide shut. | |

How is second best promotion? First or second, they're both promotion. Second best is play offs surely?
There again second best in individual games is a different animal. We have been second best for most of the last 4 games but we got away with it. | |
