    Second half thoughts

    Much better XI.

    Watching Saville, Clark and Kal closely they work very well and create plenty.

    Two well taken goals by Fanne, but surely that isn’t his best position?

    Put a “Michael Cheek” type in that XI and you would win 7 or 8.

    Far too wasteful.

    Need to recall that has been our undoing for far too long.

    Kit is better in the “flesh”, although the socks do appear to be slightly lighter, not sure by design?

      Cheers Cuba. Good to hear thoughts from someone at the game.

      Was Fanne playing at the tip of a midfield four?

      He was touted as a defensive midfielder when we bought him, although if he can finish like that then maybe it is worth developing him further forward?

        We lined up with Nordas and Fanne together up top.

        Nordas was always more forward so perhaps you could say Fanne was sitting in the “hole” just behind.

        Nordas is a pest and created lots and had a lot created for him

        Fanne was clinical, Nordas snatched at a few chances and their keeper pulled of a string of saves.

        Saville is and was the kind of player we needed in January 2024 and all of last season. If we sign a better player than him this summer we will walk the league.

        Still, as work outs go it was far more promising than anything this time last year.

        In the first half Richards looked good, he made the goal for Woodrow. Alli was dangerous thoughout, but his Walters and Luker’s hard work often ended a cross into space as we nobody in the box.

        Stoke today signed a centre-forward on loan from Man City. He’s taken the no 9 shirt.
        Maybe that will clear the way for Nathan Lowe to leave?

          I suspect he will leave, possibly on loan. Let’s hope we’re at the front of the que and don’t lose out to Huddersfield.

              ??

              Were you there today?

              A “Michael Cheek” would have scored five in the second half.

              What’s wrong with stating that?

              We played some good stuff, just missing goals. Need a natural finisher.

                Despite fears my mate Crumpsall may think I have crossed over to the dark side, I have to admit I fully agree with him on this. Michael Cheek is almost 34 and has largely scanned around non league. I would like to think that Crumpsall would be dismayed as much as me if that is now where we are setting our sights

                    I think I remember reading that Ostriches don't actually bury their heads in the sand but they do lean over and look at the horizon from ground level/put their ear to the ground.

                          I did tout, yes. And still will.

                          We need a finisher, a natural goalscorer.

                          If we had had that today we would have scored 7 or 8 easily.

                          Having sold Morris and to a far lesser extent Pepple we need someone to take the pressure off Nordas.

                          Whether it’s Cheek or someone with his scoring rate I don’t really care.

                            Don't think anyone disagreed we need more firepower, however your constant naming players we should look at gets a bit tiresome. If you hadn't referenced that young Michael Cheek you possibly would not so much grief. He most certainly is not what we should be looking for

                                  Following the Luton News twitter feed it looked like both halves played a 4-1-4-1 formation, interchangeable with 4-2-3-1
                                  Nice to have a positive result, regardless of opposition.

                                    I’d say 4-2-3-1 first half.

                                    Defo back 3 second though with Jones / Phillips wide.

                                    Socks defo a different shade of orange.

                                    The new lad looks tidy. As does Phillips.

                                    Nordas needs a break. Keeper matched his every shot. Fanne more clinical in front of goal.

                                      Needs a break as in time off... or needs a break that something will go his way, the latter I hope

                                        Needs a break in his luck.

                                        On another day three of those shots go in.

                                        Their keeper was a beast.

                                          Sounds like their keeper had one of those once in a blue moon outstanding performances.

                                              These modern footballer types are under immense pressure though, so I'm led to believe.

                                        Didn’t see the game, but from pics I’ve seen, Nelson looks to have bulked up a little bit. Good to see as he’ll be pretty effective this season I reckon.
