Following the disappointing result on Sunday we can get back to winning ways against the Lillywhites tomorrow evening. I've noticed they don't score many goals and quite a few 0-0 draws seem to figure in their results. Once again who will play with a couple of injuries again on the weekend? COYH!!
PNE Trivia. Not sure if this was mentioned in the past but PNEs Arthur Wharton was the world's first professional black footballer.
He was an athlete too and once ran 100 yards in 10seconds. He was a goalkeeper and there's a lovely statue of him in the memorial garden at the National Football Centre.
When he played well the fans loved him when he made mistakes he suffered racial slurs....nothing changes!!
Some photos will follow.

My 1,919th Luton game attending and 1,247th at Kenilworth Road.
I've seen us play PNE 10 times at home from 1971 - 2006.
4 Luton wins, three draws and 3 defeats.
I'm going for a heavy Town victory .............4-0.

Looks like it will be a very difficult game to me. PNE do unto others as we try to do - high press and deny time to do much. They've got a pretty decent form record since changing manager, beating several top teams but drawing too many to amass points for a PO push (up to now, anyway!)
As a team, we were utter rubbish at their ground and the only other occasion that happened prior to that match was home vs Brum. As we then managed to repeat our home performance away at Brum, I hope that we don't find our invisibility cloaks tonight vs PNE and let them do the double over us.
We will have to work bloody hard to make space for ourselves as well as denying them space. Will need plenty of patience as well. Slightly concerned that we'll have a hangover from the QPR disappointment.
COYH.

Thought I was at Carrow Road when the teams ran out, mind you Preston were just about as effective as Norwich. When I saw the team sheet I was not exactly filled with confidence and when our only centre back was injured feared for the future. How wrong can one be. Yet another gutsy, in your face, performance not giving the opposition time to think.
Man of the match selected by the sponsors was Luke Berry, two goals probably deserves it. However for me it was Peter Kioso, never a foot wrong, doesn't take any prisoners and a goal. All this and having to switch position when Burke went off. He's definitely a 'Championship' player Nathan, tie him down at Luton.

What a result!
And what a difference competent officials make.

I agree with Lizard. Kiosk was immense, especially in the air.
