Amen.
Last 30 minutes of the half we found a different level in terms of quality, tempo, commitment and effort. Where has this been all season. Deserved win on this basis alone,

How lives do we have left
Pleased with that. 
I predicted 1-0 or 2-1 in the OP but I sure as hell didn't select us in 7otb!! Sounded like a good win and, as you lads posted, particularly deserved for a very decent second half. If this was down to our good play rather than Luton being the pits and playing like it, then it's a very encouraging start to the holiday games. Here's hoping that the lads don't start going on holiday too soon and don't spoil this result by throwing points away in the next game.

It was down to our level of play, Luton were not allowed to be good, and we were making zero unforced errors, actually zero errors at all. A completely elevated level of play. Even Byers finally got his shit together and Celina was acceptable during that spell but deserving of being sub’d.Pleased with that.
Fulton ... yet again came on as sub. Very solid, neat and tidy. Chipped the cross for the Ayew goal. Excellent appearance.
Ayew was mom. Grimes is half the captain that Ayew actually is.
Ayew seems to be MOM in most games these days. Wish the rest of them would follow his non-stop work ethic and example even if he does run down blind alleys on occasion. As for Grimes, maybe he should relinquish the captaincy as the responsibility tends to impact on some players' games.
There again, we don't want anything to distract Ayew because he's doing just fine for us right now.

Yeah, I would hate to lose Ayew come January. Even Surridge. Wish we could get a little more urgency from other players. Their record is still good enough to challenge for a playoff spot. Have to turn things right, close out December with a few more wins and get a good result against Watford.

Talk about a stonewall penalty on Byers. Jesus.
Glad we got the points on that or I'd be fuming.
Decent performance yesterday but our finishing left a lot to be desired. One slip from our defenders (Woody did his best!! ) and it's a case of even more points lost in addition to those we've already squandered this season. At least we didn't concede this time and banked the 3 points.
Some stats:
POSSESSION: 44-56 SHOTS: 14-20 OT: 1-4 CORNERS: 4-8 FOULS: 6-12 GOALS: 0-1
4 shots on target out of 20 is pretty poor but I notice that we fouled twice as much as them, which at least showed us with a bit of steel in breaking up their attacks. As usual, the ref sucked and denied us a nailed-on penalty thereby joining a far from exclusive club.

A Jekyll and Hyde performance for me. What we saw for the last 30 minutes or so of the match was lights out compared to what went before and the dross we’ve served up in previous matches in the Shit Streak. We went from mediocre at best (don’t know what match Curt was watching) to couldn’t and didn’t do a thing wrong in terms of passing, tempo, and movement. Byers in particular was on the boil. What happened?
The Swans of the last 30 could beat anybody in this league. We have more lives than a cat, because here we are, two points from 3rd, and just 3 wins + from 2nd. A Stellar Streak of wins instead of stumbling mediocrity could easily see us threaten the automatic places.
There’s no time like the present.

Eerily similar to our relegation campaign; a bunch of mediocrity but we couldn't rise above the garbage; I wonder if we can do it this time.
