Lockyer urges Luton fans to make Kenilworth Road ‘hostile’ for Wolves’ visit.
The Town manager is looking forward to his team’s first league game on home soil.
Town defender Tom Lockyer has urged Luton Town fans to make Kenilworth Road as ‘hostile’ as possible when the club travels to Wolverhampton Wanderers this afternoon in pursuit of their first Premier League point of the season.
Last weekend’s 1-0 loss at Fulham made it four straight losses for the Hatters, who are currently bottom of the Premier League standings and the only team without a point after Burnley’s 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest on Monday night.
The visitors aren’t doing that much better though, a single victory at Everton their only positive outcome from five matches, as they sit in 16th place.
Town have played just once in front of their own fans so far since the season kick off, beaten 2-1 by West Ham, and Lockyer knows if they are to have any chance of survival, they have to pick up results in LU1.
Last term the atmosphere made a huge difference as the Hatters were roared on to victory against Watford and Sunderland, and speaking ahead of what should be his first outing on home soil in the league this term, the Wales international said: “I can’t wait, it’s going to be brilliant.
“That’s going to have to be our fortress this season and I have no doubt it’s going to be a hostile environment.
Lockyer only had his sights set on Wolves though, as he continued: “It’s one game at a time.
“There’s no easy games in this league, we came up third through the play-offs, behind Burnley and Sheffield United, so in theory we’re the under, underdogs of it all.”
