With 14 minutes of normal time remaining, Rob Edwards made a double change which included the introduction of Liam Walsh, an all-action central midfielder.

While the 27-year-old was clearly eager to make his mark, he was perhaps a little too eager as he was given his marching orders just 36 seconds after entering the field.

Going for a 50-50 ball in the middle of the park, Walsh took a two-footed attack on Siriki Dembele, leaving the winger crumpled to the ground in a crumpled heap.

While Luton’s players tried to argue his case, it was in vain as the midfielder was given a straight red for a serious foul.

Walsh was making his sixth appearance for Luton since joining the club swansea city In summer.

Meanwhile a third fan simply wrote: “Work hard or go home,” two things Walsh definitely did.

With Luton down to ten men, Oxford pressed hard to try to score a winner, but a resilient Hatters defense gave the game away by a valuable point.

Having suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, Luton will be determined to ensure an immediate return to the top-flight.

However, it has been a difficult transition to EFL life for Edwards’ team, having taken just one point from their first four games in the Championship.

While two consecutive wins in September lifted them out of the relegation zone, the Hatters are still struggling in 18th place in the table with eight points from eight matches.

Meanwhile, Oxford, who were promoted from League One last season, are currently 12th in the table with 11 points.
