We had 4 points from 3 games last season and got to the play-offs
We had 2 points from 3 games the season before and got to the play-offs

The number of points after 3 games in the previous 8 years were: 1,4,0,4,3,3,4,4

Some of those seasons we did reasonably well and ended in the top half, some of them we either got relegated or nearly got relegated.

The point is that the points total after 3 games has not provided a very accurate guideline as to how the season would go. The only general trend seems to be that we always start quite poorly, whoever the manager is.

We drew the first three games in 2007/08 and ended up 16th in League 2.

I'm surprised that you can remember that far back Doctor.

If you look at Luton's record last season,  they only won 2 out of their first 8.   Not exactly brilliant.  We knew we'd have trouble for the first few games with the injuries/suspensions we have and Hurst's 'quality over quantity' method he's employing this season.  I think you have to see after 10 games then send out the lynch squad.  UTM

There's still 129 points left to play for, and the bulk of our attacking players are about to return.

I'll take that.
