Exclusive: How Don Goodman feels about Luton Town avoiding relegation - It could be good news | OneFootball

Speaking exclusively with FLW, Don Goodman has been discussing Luton Town's chances of Championship survival.

Luton Town enjoyed an excellent Easter weekend; one which has handed the Hatters a fighting chance of Championship survival.

Matt Bloomfield has really been starting to get a tune out of his Luton squad in recent weeks, after enduring an eight-game winless run to start his reign as Hatters boss, after being appointed on 14 January.

However, a 1-0 win over Portsmouth on 1 March snapped that streak, and has proven to be a real watershed result in the club's season, as since then, they've lost just twice in the Championship.

Having followed up a 1-0 victory over relegation rivals Derby County on Good Friday with a brilliant 3-1 win against play-off-chasing Bristol City on Easter Monday, the Kenilworth Road faithful are now in full belief that they can escape the drop.

But, two tough final fixtures against Coventry City and West Brom await Bloomfield's boys, who now sit level with 21st-placed Derby on 46 points with two games to go.

"Fighting spirit" - Don Goodman makes Luton Town Championship survival claim

Speaking exclusively with Football League World, we asked Sky Sports pundit and former player, Don Goodman: 'Two wins in a row now for Luton Town. Just how big were them wins, and gut feeling, do you think they stay up?'

Goodman said: "I think Luton are going to fancy their chances.

"When you look at Coventry's last four away games, they've lost three and drawn one. In that run, they have lost to Derby, drawn with Hull, and lost to Plymouth and Sheffield United.

"Three of those four teams that they haven't managed to beat, Coventry, have been teams struggling at the bottom. So Luton are going to fancy their chances.

"Massive wins, played well, finding fighting spirit that was probably missing for large parts of the season. They're on a great run at the minute, and their confidence will be high.

"So, if they can manage to beat Coventry, then you'd have to fancy them to complete the job."

Luton Town won't fear Coventry City, West Brom clashes

It's the time of the season where form goes out the window, and what on paper should happen, often doesn't.

Such is the nature of a division like the Championship, where anything and everything can, and does happen.

Instead, it's those sides who step up in the big moments and handle the pressure the best, that often emerge victorious from their respective battles.

Luton Town are certainly showing that they can do exactly that, with two vital wins over Derby and Bristol City when they needed them most.

Therefore, whilst their final two clashes of the campaign with Coventry and West Brom do look imposing on paper, the Hatters have shown a level of fight and hunger to stay in the division that will likely have Sky Blues and Baggies supporters wishing they weren't on their schedule at this stage of the season.

Luton have everything to play for, and are scrapping just as hard as Coventry and West Brom are at the opposite end of the division, and it's those sorts of teams that you really don't want to be playing at this moment in time.

So, Bloomfield's men will march defiantly into their final two games of the season, armed with the knowledge that they have what it takes to be playing second tier football once again next term.
