Swansea City : Beware ! Luton with their backs to the wall Sunday, 29th Dec 2024 08:00 by Liam Walters Today greets us with another Swansea City fixture as the Swans take on Luton Town as the second half of the Championship season begins at 3pm. It’s odd, yesterday was a dead day for a sporting Saturday, so today is very much welcome. Luton Town made the journey down to west Wales yesterday and head coach, Rob Edwards has already disclosed his preferred back three for the game today. The Hatters have had some disruptions to their defensive set up this season, Teden Mengi, Reece Burke, Amari’i Bell, Alfie Doughty, Mads Andersen and Reuell Walters have all been on the sick list. As Edwards has stated, "We’re having to juggle things about a little bit at the moment, so without an Amari’i or an Alfie, it does make it have to go that way a little bit more otherwise you’re putting Hashi at left back and that’s not natural, while having a right footed centre half on the left is a little bit closer to being comfortable, so that’s probably my take on it really.” Tom Holmes Is enjoying his time in the Luton back three and believes he is an adaptable player who can work within Edwards system. “When you play in a three that’s definitely what you can bring as teams don’t account for centre backs joining the attacks. I think like Sheff U when they were at their pomp really, playing a three with the wide centre backs bombing on and it can be really effective when it’s done right. You can definitely be a bit more dynamic on the outside, so you can join attacks. You can be a bit more fluid in a three, but then there’s positives about being in a two as well. It’s at the manager’s discretion really, it depends on how the management wants you to play it, as it can also be more defensive too.” We aren’t seeing a team who are easy to beat, we covered them yesterday, see that below. What we found alarming when researching the opposition today was the amount of players they have who are on exceptionally high wages. An immediate come down from relegation back to the Championship of course. The Hatters are leaking money and surely at some point these players will turn up and be the professionals they state they are ? Some of the reported figures are truly shocking. With Luton Town so close to League One and the Swans a club whose form is so inconsistent they must be feeling good about the fixture ?  ⚽️ Gwyn’s eye view ⚽️ The officials Hallam has never been the referee at the Swansea.Com stadium.
