Hammers will go top with a win tonight. And I think they will. 0-2

They're stood outside that terrace street entrance right now on Sky, I remember going there.. strange going up some stairs over peoples backg arden to get to the stand.

Anyway be interesting to watch a Luton home game in the PL.

West Ham’s team on paper looks really strong.

Bowen Alvarez Pacqueta Ward-Prose Benrahma

Some midfield that.

Whitgord · Post by **Whitgord** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 8:01 pm

Pitch looks new and not very robust.

COBBLE · Post by **COBBLE** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 8:11 pm

Pitch looks on the small side?

Greenmile · Post by **Greenmile** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 8:22 pm

Why is Zouma getting booed? Is it because he kicked that cat, or is there a more Luton-specific reason?

A beautiful goal to give the Iron the lead.

JWP really makes them tick. A great signing.

Shocking goalkeeping

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 8:38 pm

that'll do

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 8:39 pm

That's handy. The bottom needs some padding.

especially when you consider he was cheaper than Cole Palmer. Shameful Southgate hasn't called him up

Good for us.

Agree with JimmyRobbo about Ward-Prowse. Excellent signing.

Kaminski playing volleyball, Bowen should have put him in the back of the net.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 8:46 pm

Luton are going to be a bit like we were under Dyche insofar as I can't see them scoring many goals from open play but they'll be dangerous from set-pieces.

4midable · Post by **4midable** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:09 pm

Game over

4midable · Post by **4midable** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:09 pm

Dissed

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:16 pm

Technically, Luton are as poor as you see. Needlessly passing balls to the opposition and passing it out of touch.

They have a lot of heart and are going to be awful to play against at Kenilworth Rd. As someone said earlier, it's a very tight pitch and they are a big tema with lots of energy. I hope they hurry up, lose their edge, get into the routine of losing and accepting it quickly.

Still showing lots of spirit.

Luton are gash. They’ll struggle to reach Derbys record.

Jakubclaret · Post by **Jakubclaret** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:27 pm

I think they'll get some odd good results hustling with their physicality but a lack of quality & consistency will be their downfall but anything different will be a bonus for them, massive underdogs from the start.

The Iron are Scunthorpe. Irons are West Ham who listening to the crowd are playing Loo en

It'll be a bog by winter but might just play into their hands. Not many teams will be able to play football on that surface in a few games time..

If Luton are conceding goals from corners, they’re knackered.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:45 pm

Seemed an easy header for the 2nd.

Zouma peels back and nobody follows him.

JWP with an assist.

And likewise all those fans talk about West Ham playing at Upton Park, a ground that never existed

Boom!

Very recognisable goal pulled back. MIght be their 1st shot on target

Luton long ball hoof merchants

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:55 pm

JWP gpt away with a close one there.

Glad ref didn't give it.

Survived the handball.

Wembley09 · Post by **Wembley09** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:57 pm

Wouldn't have been surprised had that been given, very lucky JWP.
Definitely not complaining though, keeps them on 0 below us.

claretdj · Post by **claretdj** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:57 pm

Glad Luton lost, but how was that not a pen to them? Var corrupt as.

How on earth have they not got a penalty there,

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 9:59 pm

Hits his arm, changes direction of the ball, arm out from his side. No idea how it's not a penalty. Shocking again from VAR

Ask Ian MacL, he's an expert on the machinations of VAR

Not handball apparently... JWP in his own area.

It’s not a penalty that. He can’t get out of the way of it as he’s blind sided and his arm is in a natural position for someone jumping.

So Luton remain bottom but if BBC stats are accurate they limited West Ham to only three shots on target. They make themselves very tough to beat.

Which is all well and good until you reach the point where you simply have to start to win a few. That point may well arrive very early in the season for Luton.

I thought West Ham never got out of 2nd gear, really disappointing. It was more like a training match, and Said Benrahma was half asleep.
Luton showed a lot of passion and energy, and worked really hard, but I can't see where the flair is to be a constant danger at this level.
If the results keep going against them, you could easily see heads dropping.
