It is the replay that Luton didn’t want but the Hatters travel to the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Tuesday evening looking to book a spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Kev is once again joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and Trust board member Helen Gatward to look ahead to the replay which will hopefully be much more entertaining than the 0-0 reverse fixture.
The trio discuss how strong the Town should go in terms of a starting XI and a couple of players who they would like to see involved before looking at the impact a run in the cup could have in light of a trip to Crystal Palace or Everton being the reward for the winner.
As ever the podcast concludes with the score predictions. Does anyone see an upset do they think the Town will progress? Drop your predictions in the comments.

Town left it late but they came away from Turf Moor with a more than deserved point on Friday night. Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and Trust board member Helen Gatward to dissect Burnley 1-1 Luton.
There is no skirting around it on this podcast. The trio start by looking at the big incident in the game. Was it a foul or was it a legitimate goal? There is a big discussion on the equaliser before the attention turns to the many Town players who excelled on the night with tributes paid to two who haven’t seen much football recently.
The chat then turns to a key transition in the Town game and what that can mean for the remainder of the season before a final reflection on what turned out to be a crucial night in the battle for survival.
All this and much more on the only podcast to go from League 2 to the Premier League!

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look ahead to what promises to be a defining match in the season of both teams.

We look at where Town can hurt this Burnley side and how they can do it.
The podcast concludes with the score predictions as always with both chaps predicting goals in the game!

Well that wasn’t great was it!?
Luton Town began 2024 with a tame 0-0 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers in the Emirates FA Cup Third Round and Kev is once again joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to dissect what little action there was.
Listen in for the boys’ views on a tough 90 minutes to watch, albeit one which got better the longer it went on, who and what the positives from the match was and their opinions on a key decision in the contest.
There are also post-match thoughts from the boss Rob Edwards and second half substitute Jordan Clark as well as reaction to the fourth round draw which will see the winner of the replay travelling to either Crystal Palace or Everton at the end of the month.
And there's a discussion of why recent criticism of new fans inside Kenilworth Road needs to stop, plus the one thing that is the biggest legacy of owners 2020.
All this and much more on the longest running Luton Town podcast!

The Town park the Premier League action for the magic of the FA Cup as Bolton Wanderers are the visitors to Kenilworth Road for a third round tie on Sunday afternoon.
Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look ahead of the Hatters’ opening match in the competition with a reflection on the importance of the cup, both to the Town and to the two chaps.
But first of all, the news broke hours before recording that Andros Townsend had signed a contract extension to stay a Hatter for the foreseeable future, so we discuss his move and his impact since joining the club.
The attention then turns to the visit of Bolton, where two former Luton players were expected to be involved, however that is already down to just one with the news that Carlos Mendes-Gomes is already away at the Africa Cup of Nations. Two other potential dangers are highlighted.
The boys then put themselves into the shoes of Rob Edwards to try and come up with the potential starting XI for the game. Will there be wholesale changes or just tinkering to the team?
As ever the podcast ends with the score predictions and news of a couple of gifts given to James with big Luton connections attached to them!

For the second time in 21 months, big spending Chelsea are the visitors to Kenilworth Road, only this time the two sides meet as divisional rivals rather than in an FA Cup match.
Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and Town fan Dan Barratt-Davis to preview a match which could very well give an obvious sign of the improvement Rob Edwards’ side have made since losing 3-0 to the Blues in their second match in the Premier League.
As always in a preview podcast the boys pick out three main threats in the visitors side, one of whom has already ripped the Town apart this season, before looking at how the Hatters boss could set his own side up and where they can get at Chelsea.
The discussion then turns to who might be best served to start for the home side in what should be a great afternoon as the Town go in search of a third straight Premier League win, 32 years after they last did it in the top flight. Back in 1991 that was achieved at home to the Londoners. Can Town do it again?
The podcast concludes with our score predictions and then as this is the last full studio podcast of 2023 the boys pick out their favourite moments from what has been a truly memorable calendar year.

Remember when Garth Crooks said we'd be relegated by Christmas? Instead, Luton Town celebrated with a cracker of a come-from-behind victory at Bramall Lane as the Hatters beat Sheffield United 3-2 in a chaotic clash.
Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and Town fan Dan Barratt-Davis to recap and review a crazy afternoon, beginning with the dominance the visitors showed in the first half before the chaos of the second one.
Special mentions get handed out to a number of star performers on the afternoon as well as the man in the middle, Sam Allison, who made the spectacle what it was.
All this and plenty more on a festive episode of the only podcast to go from League 2 to the Premier League!

Once the presents have been opened, the has been turkey eaten and the Christmas sherry quaffed, attention will turn to the Boxing Day trip to Bramall Lane as Sheffield United host Luton for the second time in nine months.
Kev is once again joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look ahead to the Yorkshire clash with the podcast beginning by looking back at the last time these two sides met at this famous venue.
The boys pick out three threats in the opposition, each of whom we came up against last season, before reflecting on the change of manager in this part of the world.
As always, the focus then comes back to the Hatters and any potential team changes that Rob Edwards might make, with the prospect of that high calibre midfield trio we have spoken so much about in previous podcasts potentially being on the pitch at the same time for the first time.
The lads look at where in this Sheffield United line up Luton can get some joy in attack before they conclude with their score predictions for the game.
All this and plenty more on the only podcast that has gone from League 2 to the Premier League!
*Please note that due to the Christmas schedule this podcast was recorded before the 1-0 win over Newcastle United.
