Rob Edwards, the new manager of Luton Town, is gearing up to take charge of his first match against Middlesbrough on Saturday, after being appointed as Nathan Jones’ successor just 23 days ago. Luton, currently sitting in 11th place in the championship table, are on an unbeaten streak of five games.
Reflecting on the unusual World Cup break, Edwards acknowledged the challenges it posed but expressed optimism about his team’s response. He praised the squad’s honesty and intensity in training, highlighting their positive attitude and dedication.
Having previously managed at Watford before a short tenure and subsequent departure, Edwards is eager to continue Luton’s momentum without making drastic changes to their playing style. He emphasized the importance of building on their strengths while gradually evolving as a team.
Looking ahead, Edwards sees Luton in a strong position to compete for a top-six finish in the championship. He commended the team’s resilience and work ethic, expressing confidence in their ability to rise to the challenge and remain competitive in the league.
As Luton prepares to face Middlesbrough and upcoming fixtures against Millwall, Norwich, and Queen’s Park Rangers, Edwards is focused on maintaining the team’s progress and pushing them to achieve their goals in the second half of the season.
