Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

The LWB situation is really odd. It was almost certain that Doughty would go, and the fact that his replacement so far is an out of contract, unfit player we (or anyone else) could’ve signed weeks ago is concerning. I imagine Dodgson was first choice but we missed out, for whatever reason. Perhaps we have possible premier league loan options that we’re waiting on.

RWB is also an issue. Jones’ injury is obviously unfortunate, but we signed a player who can play there (Odoffin) knowing he wouldn’t be available for several months. So what’s the plan until then? Walters plays every game? Lonwijk? Again maybe a premier league loan for short term cover?

We haven’t replaced the creativity of Aasgaard, unless Chong is nearly fit / staying and been earmarked for that role? Or Clark? We have a lot of deeper lying midfielders - Saville, Walsh, Baptiste, Fanne, Nakamba but creativity is lacking.

Strikers - some good signings made but we don’t have a central ‘hold up’ number 9 if Nordas isn’t trusted. So we need to change our tactics entirely from last season or sign someone there.

A lot of numbers brought in (and some quality, to be fair). We have a lot of good individuals, but gaping squad holes remain. I don’t think anyone at the moment knows what our best formation / team is, probably including Bloomfield. Hope everything is a bit clearer in a months’ time…
