It Is Bad News For Luton Fans As They Seek To End A 2-Game Goal Scoring Drought Against Sheffield Wednesday
The last two games have seen Luton Town fail to score.
2-0 defeats at home to Stoke City and away to Millwall have seen the Hatters not only fail to score but also to create any significant chances.
It is a statistic that has featured heavily on social media, with the comments below highlighting the point:
Awful performance, don’t look like scoring for the foreseeable future.

Where are the goals going to come from?

It is no coincidence that our top striker, James Collins, did not feature in any of those games, with the striker having been forced to isolate after developing COVID-19 like symptoms.
It was hoped that Collins would return to lead the attack against Sheffield Wednesday, this weekend, but that will not prove to be the case.
It has been confirmed, as reported by Luton Today that James Collins has tested positive for COVID-19 and is still in isolation.
The earliest Collins will be available to play is in the home fixture against Nottingham Forest next Wednesday evening.
If that is the case and with Harry Cornick suffering a groin injury ahead of the Millwall game and with Danny Hylton struggling to make an impact, could it be an opportunity for Sam Nombe to be given a start?
Nombe is untried and earmarked for the future but he could bring something different to a Luton strike force that has looked far from dangerous in the last two games.
Is it a move Nathan Jones should consider?
