Where are the goals going to come from?

The Hatters put in another decent shift in disposing of new boys Braintree Town. We didn't even gift them a goal lead - which was nice- but after scoring first and then conceding  the obligatory goal by a returning ex-Hatter - which wasn't nice - took over the game and outplayed them for the rest of the 90 minutes. Despite the vagaries of yet another inconsistent refereeing performance, I don't know what his tolerance level was for deserving a red card but there were a couple of real X - rated challenges on Watkins and Howells, the first of which only got a yellow card and the other not even a word of warning, the Hatters are beginning to work well together and some of the football was pretty to watch. However, there are still rumblings of discontent from some 'fans' that we haven't signed a big name striker - yet - so where are the goals going to come from? Well, the answer is the same as it was last year - from all over the park, although to be fair, Tyler hasn't pulled his weight in the goal scoring department. (Tyler out?). It is hard for any team playing Luton to snuff out the danger man because the danger man can'r be identified. He's different every attack! Whether we have signed  a striker or not, we have been playing without a number of first choice players due to injury, and yet somehow we seem to be averaging 2 points per game and have scored more than any other team bar Wrexham and Gateshead, and they along with everyone else, except Telford of course, have played a game more than we have. Ten in four games is 2.5 per game and that is better than Wrexham and Gateshead's 2.4 per game.

New signing John Paul Kissock came on for a five minute cameo and did not-a-lot, (Kissock out!) but he will be another decent player in the squad. Forest Green must surely have been extracting the proverbial liquid by having the temerity to bid for Wilmott, and the best team in Hertfordshire (well to be fair they don't have much to beat) had a similar bid in for Keith Keane. I don't believe that we are in the market for getting rid of our best players although, as from time immemorial, we are Luton Town and every player has a price, so if a silly bid came in I guess that would be a different matter. It would have to be silly enough to allow us to buy in someone better as a replacement, and for all their bluster, I doubt FGR are the club to do it.

Next up Hayes & Yeading on Tuesday and closure of the transfer window on Wednesday!
