LUTON EASE TO WIN ON PRE-SEASON TOUR OF SWEDEN...

Luton began life after Steve Howard by proving they still had goals in the side after a comfortable win over Swedish opponents Bunkeflo IF.

Two strikes in either half from Calvin Andrew, Dean Morgan, Michael Leary and Danny Stevens gave Mike Newell's men victory in the first of two games on their pre-season tour.

The game was played out in quaint surroundings on the outskirts of Malmo in a ground more akin to Barton Rovers or Dunstable Town than anything Hatters will face in the Championship this season.

But Luton, being skippered by Chris Coyne due to the imminent departure of Kevin Nicholls, were still given a decent workout by a side sitting in fourth place at the half-way stage of their league, in the third tier of Swedish football.

Sporting their new orange third kit, Luton started with Morgan and Andrew as a front two pairing and the duo combined well in the 12th minute when Andrew fed Morgan to curl a 22-yard effort just over the bar.

Morgan repeated the favour eight minutes later when he slipped in Andrew, who tried to take the ball around the goalkeeper only for Ola Svensson make a smart save.

"The breakthrough came just before the half-hour mark"

The breakthrough came just before the half-hour mark when David Bell's deep cross rebounded fortunately off Martin Larsson for Andrew to make no mistake from close in.

The hosts' first real threat came in the 36th minute when lively winger Yidi Shabani cut inside Stephen O'Leary and Sol Davis from the right flank and hit a low 20-yard drive that Marlon Beresford did well to hold at his near post.

"Two minutes later though Luton were 2-0 up"

Two minutes later though Luton were 2-0 up when Beresford himself started a flowing move that took in Keith Keane and Leary before Bell crossed for Morgan to finish with a half-volley from 10-yards.

Beresford ensured Hatters kept that advantage when seconds before the break he saved superbly from home skipper Erol Bekir's 15-yard drive and Keane completed the clearance off the line from Paul Munster's follow up.

While Bunkeflo made five changes at the interval, Hatters kept faith with their starting 11 until the substitutions began in the 65th minute.

Two of the players still on the field combined three minutes later, however, when Peter Holmes layed off for Leary to strike a 25-yard effort that crept into the bottom corner of the net for Town's third.

Bunkeflo almost pulled one back when substitute Ken Hansson was unfortunate to see his curling 22-yard effort hit the top of the bar.

Instead, Stevens rounded things off nicely two minutes from time when he ran on to Ahmet Brkovic's slipped pass, rounded Svensson and fired into the empty net.

The former Spurs trainee almost got another in stoppage time when he shot left footed from Brkovic's pull-back, but this time Svensson kept his effort out.

Luton next play on Wednesday evening in Halliken with Steve Robinson, Markus Heikkinen and Carlos Edwards - who were all present, but didn't play against Bunkeflo - expected to feature.

Newell's Comments	24 July 2006
Bunkeflo IF 0-4 Luton Town "I have made my decision and I am staying here, so people who are worrying about that don't need to worry any more. This is something I need to sit down with the Board of Directors about when I get back. "Carlos Edwards is with us in Sweden at the moment and he is one of our players. That's it. "We've sold Steve Howard to Derby County. We had no choice to be fair. We had to do the best for the club. With a year left on his contract, someone who is 30 years of age and to sell him for £1 million is good business. "At the end of the day, Steve wanted to go. You can never hold on to players who want to leave the club. "Kevin Nicholls is the same; he wanted to go as well. As far as I am aware, he is speaking with Leeds United, so there is not a lot we can do if these players want to leave the club. "Both players were great servants to the club, but we have to move on. Hopefully I will be getting some of this money to bring in fresh faces. "I haven't been told how much money is available, but we have got an offer in for a player so obviously there is some money available. "Considering what I have spent over the past few months, I will be wondering how much I will get. I am not going to be asking for millions of pounds, because that is not the way you do business, but I will be asking for an amount. "We have made a bid for a player, but there are not too many Steve Howard's about. I can understand that the supporters are concerned but if players want to leave then I am not going to try and keep them."
