At the end, a dejected Rob Edwards stood in front of the travelling fans and watched them sing their hearts out. Luton knew their relegation was all but confirmed after this defeat by West Ham, but nobody could dent their pride.
There is no shame in their inability to bridge the massive financial gap since last season’s promotion. They have given their all and it is impossible to find fault in Edwards’s management. The only real takeaway is that it would have been a remarkable achievement if Luton, whose inferior goal difference means their chances of catching Nottingham Forest are almost nonexistent, had managed to stay up given their shortage of elite quality.
