Luton Town 2026/27 League One Preview
Two years on from the Premier League, Luton Town find themselves 16th in League One and searching for a level. Jack Wilshere’s side have scored 12 and conceded 14 in seven games, winning 4-3 at Reading and 2-0 against Stockport but losing 5-2 at Mansfield and 1-0 at home to Bradford.
Nahki Wells has been the most reliable presence with four goals, two of them penalties, and Kasey Palmer has two goals and two assists from the No.10 role. Liam Walsh runs the set pieces with 24 corners. Josh Keeley has kept one clean sheet in seven, which is where the trouble lies.
Seventh and 74 points last season was not enough, and the drop-off since has been sharp. Wilshere is managing a squad still carrying the wage bill and the expectations of two divisions above; steadying the defence is the first job before anything else becomes possible.
