S7 E16: Luton v Burnley preview - This is a must-win for the Clarets and a must not lose for the Hatters

Fresh from their first victory in the Premier League at Everton on Saturday afternoon, Luton Town look to follow that up with another under the lights in front of their own fans when they host fellow promoted side Burnley at Kenilworth Road tonight.

In this Burnley preview episode of the podcast, Kev is joined by James and Dan to take a look at the game in plenty of detail.

They discuss whether this is a must-win for Luton or for Burnley, or even both. They also discuss the clash of styles and the one area where Luton could really hurt the Clarets throughout the 90 minutes.

The attention then turns to the threats that Burnley could provide the Hatters before the discussion turns to who could come into the Town side should those who went off injured at the weekend not be available.

We then bring snippets of the Rob Edwards presser to get the boss’ thoughts on the encounter before the boys put their necks on the line with their score predictions!

S7 E15: Everton 1 Luton 2: How history was made in the Hatters’ first-ever Premier League win

History was made at Goodison Park on Saturday as Luton Town picked up their first Premier League win at the sixth time of asking!

Kev is joined by James and Dan to discuss the momentous victory and break down where the game was won.

They talk about the key points in the game, the many key performers in a Town shirt over the course of the 90 minutes and round up what was one of the best away days in recent memory!

Luton are back!!

S7 E14: Everton preview: ”I think they want to get relegated” | Mis-match made in heaven? | Ross Barkley’s return

The sixth match of the Premier League season sees the Hatters travelling to Goodison Park on Saturday for the first time since a League Cup tie in 2006.

With the Town now off the mark for the campaign, Kev, James and Dan get together to discuss what feels like another big game with the Toffees one of those sides Luton are expected to be in a relegation mini-league with.

Listen or watch as the boys break the game down from what they expect to see in terms of personnel and shape from Rob Edwards and his men and what they would like to see regarding the style of play.

The lads then pick out a few threats in the opposition which will need to be kept quiet but they also uncover an area where Luton might have a fair bit of joy throughout the contest.

All this and plenty more, not to mention a controversial take from Dan and the colours to the mast score predictions!

Please note that due to the Exeter game on Tuesday night, this preview was recorded prior to the announcement of the injury to Albert Sambi Lokonga.

S7 E13: Luton 1 Wolves 1: Luton off the mark, Match of the Day madness and Chie-OH WOW!

The Town are off the mark! Luton Town earned their first-ever Premier League point with a 1-1 draw against Wolves at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon.

Listen in as Kev, James and Dan reflect on the performance and the result. They discuss the match itself, the fast start and how unlucky the Hatters were not to take the lead in the first half, before reflecting on the comeback in the second period.

The attention then turns to the big decisions in the game beginning with the sending-off and then the definitive look at the all-important penalty decision and why Match of the Day had it all wrong.

The podcast then concludes with a look at the standout performer of the day (spoiler alert it wasn’t the sponsors’ player of the match!) and a brief preview of Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash at Exeter.

S7 E12: EXCLUSIVE: Luton Town Chairman David Wilkinson

The first exclusive podcast of the new season sees the Luton Town chairman David Wilkinson join Kev and James on our fantastic new video set for a chat.

Listen in for an exclusive natter with the Hatters supremo on his life as a Luton fan, the Premier League and what being the chairman of a club at that level entails, Rob Edwards, the transfer window and so much more!

The boys also get to know just how dark the days were when David and the 2020 investors got together to save the club and how important the Trust and the Luton fans have been through their custodianship.

We also hear his favourite moments in his time as chairman and some not-so-good times in a really revealing chat which we hope will be the first of many with the true heroes of our club throughout this exciting campaign.

S7 E11: Luton v Wolves preview - is this now a must-win? How the Town will triumph and is it Chieo time?

Here we go again! The Town back at home in front of a sold-out Kenny in a 3pm Saturday kick-off for the first time in six months as they look to get off the mark in the Premier League!

Listen to our Wolves preview podcast as Kev and James discuss how Rob Edwards’ men should tackle the opening period of the game, getting the crowd up for it and that famous Kenilworth Road atmosphere at its most intimidating best.

The boys assess the main threats which Wolves will provide and then their attention turns to the selection questions that Edwards has ahead of the game.

Does Ryan Giles play? Do the Town play four at the back or five? If it is the former which defender should miss out in order for the formation tweak? After his performances for Ireland and cameo at Fulham is it Chieo time?

All this and as ever the boys put themselves under pressure with their score prediction for this hugely important clash!

S7 E10: Fulham 1 Luton 0: So close but so VAR for first points, but Lokonga looks good

So near and yet so VAR! Yet again Luton Town produced their best performance of the season but were once again ruing the lack of VAR interruption as they fell to a fully undeserved 1-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

Kev and James get together for the fallout from the Craven Cottage clash which includes a look at the tweak to the formation, plenty of chat about new boy Albert Sambi Lokonga and yet more horrendous refereeing both on the pitch and at Stockley Park.

Listen to the boys picking out the many positives from the Fulham clash as well as the things the Town need to work on in order to start putting points on the board.

All this and plenty more on the latest episode of the longest-running Luton Town podcast!

S7 E9: Proper football is back - for a Lokonga formation switcheroo in full force at Fulham?

Thank god the international break is over! The Premier League is back on Saturday as the Hatters travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham.

Watch on YouTube or listen as Kev and James get together to preview the clash with the west Londoners with the interesting subplot of whether the Town will change formation after signing Arsenal ace Albert Sambi Lokonga on loan, and what we can expect if they do.

In addition to that, we tentatively look back at recent trips to the Cottage, the threats Fulham have to offer and what we want to see from Luton. 

We hear from Hatters boss Rob Edwards at his press conference before the boys predict the outcome of the match!

All on the longest-running Luton Town podcast, and the only football show to have gone from League Two to the Premier League.

S7 E8: Barkey and Giles focus, what we’ve learned so far, transfer round-up and formation change needed?

Kev and James return for the first of our monthly podcasts. Yes, in this inaugural Premier League season, we now release pre and post-match episodes every week but, as the longest-running Luton Town podcast, we have always delivered a bumper episode and we're not going to stop now. 

So, we hope you're enjoying our new content, including our video podcasts which you can find on YouTube, but as we're in the boring international break, the boys got together to offer our usual focus on two Hatters.

In this episode, we look at two players that are already dividing opinions on social media after their summer switches. They are club record signing Ryan Giles and England international Ross Barkley. 

And with the transfer window shutting and those two additions just two of 12 new recruits, the boys discuss the deadline day signings of Teden Mengi from Manchester United and Albert Sambi Lakonga on loan from Arsenal. 

The move for the latter could hint at a change in the way Luton play and with one listener question asking us about a formation change, the boys drill down into what we can expect to see in the not too distant future. 

Having seen Premier League rivals up close, Kev and James also discuss what we've learned so far in the top-flight, plus the departure of fan favourite midfielder Glen Rea while also giving a shout-out to the Bury Park community for their patience as the Hatters spent 13 weeks over the summer upgrading their Kenilworth Road stadium to make it Premier League ready.

S7 E7: Luton 1 West Ham 2 - Don’t mention the VAR! Barkley vs the “cesspit of nonsense” & chant rant

It wasn’t quite the result anyone wanted but Premier League football has finally taken place at the Kenny!

Under the new, very bright lights of the enhanced Kenilworth Road with the Bobbers Stand open to supporters for the first time in more than 35 years, Luton Town took on West Ham United but unfortunately fell to a 2-1 defeat.

Despite the loss, there were signs of progress in what was the best performance of the season so far.

What did we make of the match? Kev and James are together to chew the fat on the whole evening from the first whistle to last, including a groan-up about the perils of VAR, disgraceful chants and what's with the Barkley backlash already?

Make sure you watch or listen to get the boys’ thoughts on the good, the bad and the indifferent from the historic evening!
