    3-0 up at Luton.
    So after Next Saturday we will have played all 5 games against top 10 teams. Bit of a rough start be good if we can get 3 points though 1 wouldn’t be a disaster

    Be a very tough game against a team who will be organised and disciplined. Typical championship side but can't see them playing a lot of football under Bowyer!

    6 points from 5 going into the break wouldn’t be a disaster, given the issues with player availability.

    They won’t give us much to press against, I can see it being like the Luton game where they let us keep the ball and try and get us on the break.

    My first game of the season and I’m not thinking it’ll be the beautiful game. Neck ache more like.

    Totally agree with this. I expect them to be just as physical if not more so than Luton and it'll be a good test to see how much the team have learned from that game. Keeping it tight and not giving them an early goal would be a good start.

    Certainly an eye catching result, but has absolutely no bearing on next week's game. How many times do you see teams dish out a hammering, only to flop in the next game?

    How the fvck did Luton go from a team that had our number on Tuesday, to whatever they were doing today?

    Two sides open in their own ground. Fans thinking at least I'll get a ticket for Barnsley as you can get 5,000-7,000 there in past years. They win 5 nill and can only bring 2,000.

    It's pretty funny.

    I'm so glad Luton got a tonking. I bet they weren't going down injured to spoil the play today. Horrible team with a horrible manager with horrible tactics. I hope not to see them at Oakwell next (or any other ) season.

    If we don't waste chances to kill the game when we're 2-0 up we'll arsehole anybody.

    To be fair, we smashed Luton up last season to the extent that their manager said of us: these are brutal.

    We were, and I was proud of it.

    Bet we see pretty much the same kind of game at a Oakwell again next Sat.

    Apart from when we played them in the play off semi they have rarely topped 2000 , but if they want to bring a cartload they will have to bring their own stewards

    I asked a Luton fan if Birmingham were good - he said No, Luton were awful

    I remember them selling out the North Stand when they were top under Steve Bruce.

    We beat them.
