By Aston
October 28 2006

STB brings you team news, manager previews and betting odds ahead of Towns game against Luton on tomorrow (KO 1:15pm).

Town will be without Lewis Price after he fractured a rib against Southend so Shane Supple will be in goal with new short time signing Jaroslav Drobny on the bench as cover. Mark Noble is suspended, Gavin Williams is still recovering from a hernia operation, Jon Macken has a hamstring injury and Owen Garvan is still out with illness. Danny Haynes has returned to the squad after his month at Millwall. 

 

Squad: Scott Barron, Dean Bowditch, Martin Brittain, Alex Bruce, Billy Clarke, Darren Currie, De Jason Vos, Jaroslav Drobny, Daniel Harding, Danny Haynes, Alan Lee, Sylvain Legwinski, Ian Miller, Richard Naylor, Jaime Peters, Matt Richards, Gary Roberts, Luis Sito, Shane Supple, Simon Walton, Fabian Wilnis.

 

Town assistant manager Bryan Klug: “Luton's front six are all capable of scoring goals. They are mobile, have pace and are goal-scorers so it is understandable that they will come here and fancy their chances.

 

“They will see that we have conceded eight goals in our last two home games and will relish that.

 

“So it is up to us to stop them, it is as simple as that. We got ourselves in the situation and have to deal with it.”

 

Luton have doubts over the fitness of Markus Heikkinen and Russell Perrett who have both been suffering from flu, Lewis Emanuel is fit again after a hamstring injury. Former Town striker Sam Parkin is training again after an ankle injury and defender Chris Coyne is also training again.

 

Luton manager Mike Newell: no pre-match thoughts currently available.
