Millwall 0 Luton 0: Edwards hails ‘big point’ as Town move up to third

Rob Edwards’ claim of a “big point” at play-off rivals Millwall was justified after Burnley beat Middlesbrough to win promotion and keep Luton third in the Championship. 

The Hatters leapfrogged Boro with their earnings from a lunchtime south London stalemate, but their new place at the top of the play-off pile was confirmed in the evening when the runaway leaders won at the Riverside in the evening kick-off to confirm their immediate bounce back to the top flight.

The Hatters still hope to join them and while a victory for Sheffield United widened the gap to automatic promotion to eight points, Town maintained a six-point gap between them and the Lions, with a buffer of a further two in the play-offs, with six games left of the season. 

Having played out a draw against Millwall back in February at Kenilworth Road, it was always going to be tough in the capital, particularly after the exhilarating highs of last weekend’s derby day win over Watford. 

Yet the draw extended their unbeaten run to eight league games and ninth in a row on the road and boss Edwards said: “The lads showed bags of character. (It’s) a really difficult place to come, here. To come away with a clean sheet, it’s a big point. 

“It’s a really difficult place to come when they’re going for it. It was really difficult to find the rhythm in the game because there were so many first and second balls, duels and it’s difficult to get too much going. 

“When we did get moments of control we didn’t move well enough. The lads showed bags of character.

“To come away with a clean sheet, it’s a big point. A full house, the crowd were at it, so I thought it was a really good day for us.” 

The draw earned Luton an 18th clean sheet of the campaign and sixth in their last eight outings, which is the best defensive record in the Championship. Ethan Horvath, who’s been in goal for all of them, saved Ryan Leonard’s first-half effort as chances were few and far between. 

Alfie Doughty and Carlton Morris went close late on, but the visitors survived a late penalty claim with skipper Tom Lockyer involved. 

Edwards said: “It’s another clean sheet, a real positive, bags of effort and some good performances, but in a different way. Football’s not always beautiful. You have to play different ways and find different ways and the opposition team is always going to play to their strengths and try to stop us from doing what we do well. 

“Today, loads of character, loads of heart, loads of battling qualities. I really enjoyed it in a way. I’d have liked to have been out there myself.”

  3. I am grateful for your post. I would like to say that the cost of car insurance varies greatly from one insurance plan to another, given that there are so many different issues which contribute to the overall cost. One example is, the brand name of the vehicle will have an enormous bearing on the charge. A reliable ancient family car will have a more affordable premium than a flashy sports car.

  4. Thanks for your thoughts. One thing I’ve noticed is always that banks and financial institutions really know the spending habits of consumers as well as understand that a lot of people max outside their cards around the getaways. They properly take advantage of this fact and begin flooding the inbox and snail-mail box using hundreds of 0 APR credit cards offers right after the holiday season closes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98 of American community, you’ll soar at the opportunity to consolidate personal credit card debt and move balances for 0 interest rate credit cards.

  7. Thanks for your blog post. I would love to say a health insurance agent also works best for the benefit of the actual coordinators of a group insurance policies. The health broker is given a long list of benefits looked for by anyone or a group coordinator. Such a broker does indeed is find individuals or perhaps coordinators which will best match up those requirements. Then he shows his advice and if all sides agree, this broker formulates binding agreement between the two parties.

  8. I have observed that car insurance providers know the cars which are susceptible to accidents and other risks. In addition, they know what sort of cars are inclined to higher risk as well as the higher risk they may have the higher the particular premium charge. Understanding the basic basics involving car insurance can help you choose the right style of insurance policy that could take care of your family needs in case you happen to be involved in any accident.
