Last Season
In their second season back in the Football League, the Hatters finished 11th; three places worse off than the previous season. However, it wasn’t a bad season overall; just one marred with inconsistency. One week would see Luton losing 3-0 away to struggling Newport, with another week seeing the Hatters beat promoted Oxford at the Kassam Stadium 3-2. With three managers in one season, Luton fans will be hoping that Nathan Jones can bring some consistency.
Key Players
In terms of attacking thrust, the Hatters aren’t short of it, with Craig Mackail-Smith, Jack Marriott, Cameron McGeehan, Josh McQuoid and Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu all expected to impress, alongside new signing from Oxford, Danny Hylton. As well as going forward, another signing from Oxford in Johnny Mullins will provide strength in defence alongside captain Scott Cuthbert. With plenty of big names in the squad, it’s a case of whether or not these players gel consistently.
