The Hatters moved up to third in the Championship table with a 0-0 draw at Millwall on Good Friday. Here are our takeaways from the game.

Hatters’ defence could give them the promotion edge

Whether Luton go up automatically or have to attempt it through the play-offs, the defensive ability that Rob Edwards’ side have built up will give them a brilliant platform to achieve gaining a spot in the Premier League from.

When the Town first returned to the Championship they were regularly found wanting against direct, physical sides who ask a huge number of aerial questions, but these days it is water off of a duck’s back to Tom Lockyer and co and this was another example of that.

With anything in the Luton half of the field sent into the box the Hatters defence had to stand strong to repel the bombardment, something they were able to do to ensure they left south London with a point. The defensive base should give them a lot of confidence moving forward.

Horvath capable when called upon

The appealing thing about this season is that win, lose or draw there haven’t really been too many matches where Ethan Horvath has been overworked, and the outcome of that has been 18 clean sheets, after adding one to his collection at The New Den.

Some clean sheets are harder work than others. Last Saturday, the American stopper could have got a deckchair out and read a book for all he was troubled by those mercenaries down the road. This one was a bit different.

While he wasn’t called into save after save, there was a long-range effort from Ryan Leonard which needed putting round the post, while Horvath stood tall to repel Tom Bradshaw on a couple of occasions, highlighting that, while he isn’t called upon as often as most keepers in the division, when he is he can more than hold his own.

Record breaking proves league position is no fluke

We have gotten used to seeing Luton breaking records over the last few years and they are at it again. The draw means that Luton are undefeated in eight second tier matches for the first time since their return to this level. The last time they were beaten was when an Ashley Barnes penalty saw Burnley leave Kenilworth Road with a barely deserved win in February.

They are one better in terms of unbeaten matches on the road. Luton lost their first away game under Rob Edwards at Middlesbrough back in December when their promotion rivals snatched victory in the last minute after Town had gone down to 10 men midway through the second period, but haven’t lost any of the nine since then.

Both runs show how hard it is to beat this current Luton side, which should add further confidence to the promotion push.

Big match atmosphere the perfect prep for what might be to come

We don’t yet know how the remainder of this season will play out and what the Luton status will be at the end of it, but the one thing which we can guarantee is that the Hatters are going to be involved in a number of huge matches, of which each one is only likely to be bigger and more important than the previous one.

It can be no disadvantage therefore that both matches in April so far have been played in intense atmospheres in front of full houses. The more Luton play under those circumstances the more familiar their players will feel and that will certainly do them no harm as they look to complete the promotion push.

  9. I’d personally also like to mention that most individuals that find themselves devoid of health insurance can be students, self-employed and those that are laid-off. More than half from the uninsured are really under the age of 35. They do not come to feel they are looking for health insurance because they are young and healthy. Their income is frequently spent on houses, food, in addition to entertainment. Most people that do go to work either complete or in their free time are not supplied insurance by way of their work so they go without with the rising expense of health insurance in the country.
