Luton Boss Rob Edwards Opens That His Outfit Deserved the Boos from Angry supporters
Luton Town’s 1-1 draw against Swansea City at the Kenilworth Road ground saw its home fans boo the team at the end of the game, a reaction that team manager Rob Edwards admitted was deserved.
Luton scored the opening goal through Elijah Adebayo in the 17th minute and for a large part of the match, the Hatters struggled against the superior Swansea side, who controlled more 65% possession and attempted 20 efforts on target. And while the Hatters had only eight attempts at goal, they had only two that were on target.
Edwards agreed with his team’s performance saying, ‘It’s never good to hear the boos but I took it well as they had every reason.’ The fans have the interest of their team in mind to perform well and to triumph. That is not the case right now, and people get agitated.”
The Luton boss also had special words about their goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski who specifically produced good saves to stop Swansea’s Goncalo Franco and Florian Bianchini. “Thomas is have been excellent,” Edwards said or “Thomas was outstanding,” according to Edwards. “He has been one of our most impressive players this season and he was the reason we were able to stay with the opponent today.”
After this game, as always, Edwards tried to look at the positives and said, “We took something from the game even if we were not our best selves.” That’s a positive. The implication is that we have to work more and do better on our performances. Those are beyond our control, you know, what the fans have to say and all that sort of thing. This is true because, as much as we want too, the team cannot control what happens on the pitch.
Luton’s draw leaves them sitting in the 18th place in the Championship and only two points clear of the drop zone. Edwards will be expecting a better performance by his team during the next test.
