MK Dons v Luton Town is about much more than three points. 👀

For the first time, the Hatters head to Stadium MK — but the fixture carries decades of history, resentment and a reminder of how close Luton came to losing our club.

Kev is “eternally grateful for those that fought so that they didn't steal our club”, as the boys discuss the proposed move to Milton Keynes in the 1980s, the protests that helped keep Luton Town in Luton, but later saw Wimbledon moved to Buckinghamshire and erased.

With around 6,000 Hatters expected to make the trip, Kev believes “the needle” surrounding the fixture will help create a great atmosphere in the away end.

But do you consider it a derby?

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look ahead to Saturday's lunchtime clash, including the call from some Luton supporters to boycott the game and the arguments surrounding that debate.

The boys assess the threats posed by an MK Dons side still searching for a win, the weaknesses Luton can exploit and how the Hatters can build on their impressive 4-1 victory at Wycombe.

Who could come into the side? Which players could make the difference? And what are the boys predicting for the score?

All this and plenty more on your award-nominated, leading Luton Town podcast, They Tried To Kill Us Off!

THE NUMBERS SAY LUTON SHOULD BE 5TH… SO WHY ARE THEY 16TH? 😳

After an extended international break, the Town return to Sky Bet League One action with a short trip to Adams Park to face Wycombe Wanderers.

Kev and The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe look ahead to what feels like a hugely important contest — and there's plenty to discuss before Saturday's trip to Buckinghamshire.

The boys begin with some of the good news since the Bradford defeat, reflect on Luton's two Jersey Mike's Trophy victories and then turn their attention to Wycombe.

They look at the Chairboys' style, their threats and weaknesses, who Luton need to watch out for and where the Hatters can cause problems.

But there's also a BIG discussion around the numbers.

Following Jimbo's analysis of Luton's defensive statistics on The Lutonian https://thelutonian.com/the-luton-defensive-numbers-that-wilshere-believes-tell-a-very-different-story-to-their-goals-conceded-column/, Kev says Wilshere needs to use the data to understand why the Hatters are underachieving so badly — with the numbers suggesting Luton should be 11 places higher in the table, sitting fifth.

But as Kev puts it, it's time to move away from virtual predictions and make it happen in real life.

The boys also pick their starting XIs and discuss exactly what they want to see from the Hatters and, of course, there's a score prediction.

And there's another reason for optimism…

Luton have NEVER lost at Adams Park, while Wycombe are still waiting for their first league win at home this season.

Can the Hatters keep that record intact?

LUTON WIN 4-1 AT WYCOMBE — AND THE HATTERS OF OLD ARE BACK! 🤩

The Town returned to League One action with a statement performance at Adams Park, sweeping Wycombe Wanderers aside in a 4-1 demolition.

A very happy Kev joins The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to dissect a brilliant afternoon for the Hatters — and ask whether the Luton that finished last season on a 12-game unbeaten run has finally returned.

The boys start with the surprising starting XI and the blistering start that put the visitors in control. They celebrate two special strikes, pick apart the key moments and discuss the best performers in a Luton shirt.

There were plenty of positives, although Kev and Jimbo also look at the parts of the performance that weren't quite so convincing.

Kasey Palmer, Jamie Donley and Nahki Wells all got on the scoresheet, while Devante Cole netted his first league goal for Luton — his third goal in three games in all competitions.

And with Jack Wilshere approaching his first anniversary in charge on Tuesday, the lads reflect on his first year at the club and what this result could mean for the months ahead.

Was this just a brilliant afternoon at Adams Park, or the start of something bigger?
