Five games in it is fair to say Luton have experienced the opposite of a new manager bounce. We’re still conceding goals, and have stopped scoring any. After 12 days supposedly spent on the training pitch, this was a desperately disappointing performance from a side looking destined for back to back relegations.
In the aggressive transfer window just gone Town signed 8 players, but only two of those have any recent Championship experience. And neither of those started on Wearside. Early to say but it does look an incredibly underwhelming performance by the transfer committee once again.
Hard to see what the gameplan is and when it will start working. Morris looked very isolated up front alone. Over 70 long balls pinged, and the short ones often missed their man or went straight out of play.
The goals were both avoidable. Too often we’ve said that.
But aside from an Alli miss from a yard which was given offside anyway, there was zero threat in attack. And since it is wins we need, and where the transfer team spent their efforts, that is a big concern.
On to the visit of the Blades on Saturday.
Town: Kaminski, Walters, Johnson, McGuinness, Andersen (sub Naismith 66), Lamine Fanne (sub Brown 62), Clark, Nelson, Alli (sub Bowler 62), Aasgaard (sub Nordås 82) Morris (sub Adebayo 66).
