If you lack a balanced game plan, the Premier League is so ruthless and unforgiving that it will eat you up and spit you out.
Luton’s season needs to start on Saturday, at home to Wolves. They have sleepwalked to the bottom of the table after four defeats in which they have mustered a measly seven shots on target and now is the time to wake up.
I’ve seen a whole-hearted dedication to defending from Rob Edwards’ team, but nowhere near enough commitment to attacking. There needs to be a better balance and this is the beginning of a three-game run against opponents in the bottom five — Wolves at home, Everton away, Burnley at home — which will shape their season.
