Luton – Back In Favour

Before the Hatters Championship campaign had been so rudely interrupted by the ongoing pandemic, James Shea had taken over the role between the posts.
But, ahead of the FA Cup clash with Harrogate Town, I could not help wondering whether Nathan Jones would decide to give our record signing, Simon Sluga, another chance.
But, as it turned out, that was not the case with Shea not only being given the nod but also producing some smart saves to preserve the clean sheet in a competent 4-0 victory.
Shea’s performance was noted by those that frequent social media and the keeper who had been out in the cold for so long, picked up some very complimentary posts:
2 great saves there at the end
