Tom Krauß revealed that the crowd’s reaction to the Town’s come-from-behind win over Sheffield Wednesday at Kenilworth Road left him with goosebumps!

The German midfielder went on in the 60th minute for his Hatters debut, after a frustrating four week period recovering from an ankle injury sustained in training with parent club Mainz.

“It was great,” said the 23-year-old, who is on a season-long loan from the Bundesliga side. “After the game I had goosebumps, so it’s not normal, but it was a tough 30 minutes.

“I was out for four weeks, it wasn’t so easy for me. But I’m happy I’m now on the pitch, I can see the fans and can celebrate with the fans. A perfect way to win.”

Tom had only had a week training out on the grass before manager Rob Edwards pitched him into the heat of a Championship battle with the Owls.

“Last Monday was my first training session with the team, and after four weeks out I was so happy,” he said. “It was a tough game today, it was not such a good game from us.

“But a win is a win, and now with two wins in a row, it’s important for us. Now we celebrate and on Monday focus on the next game.”

Asked what the manager said to him before he went out onto the Kenilworth Road pitch for the first time, Tom replied: “He said ‘You are perfect for Luton’. When I went like this to the fans (gesturing with his hands), I loved it.

“To celebrate with the fans and to see that they are very happy after the win, that is really important for me. I’m an aggressive player and that is what Rob wants. It’s a perfect way to start with a win, and now let’s focus on the game on Friday.”

On his fitness, he added: “I feel really good. I had a good session in the four weeks here with the (strength & conditioning) coaches. Thursday was my first full training session with the team.

“Now these 30 minutes are really important for me and I can’t wait to start with the team. I feel really fit.”
