Hard decisions have to be taken, otherwise we could be in trouble.
In a recent article – consistency-is-the-key-for-luton-town-as-the-figures-prove.
I covered the fact that consistency is, currently, the key to Luton’s continued success.
However, whilst I am delighted that the Hatters, ahead of the trip to Rotherham, sit in ninth position in the table, there is one glowing problem that I was made aware of by one of the regular visitors to Vital Luton Town, Chris Winter.
Chris, quite rightly, pointed out that in the 10 games we have played so far in the Championship, the Hatters have only managed to score EIGHT goals.
When it comes to scoring goals, Collins seems to be the only real scorer we have.
When it comes to the likes of Hylton and Lua Lua, questions are still being asked as to whether they are Championship quality.
Cornick, while capable of scoring, can be erratic and has been troubled by injuries this season.
Another possible source of goals, Lee, is currently being used in a deeper position while Nombe has yet to be given a chance to show he is ready to lead the line.
Which begs me to ask a couple of questions.
1 – How would we cope if Collins were to pick up an injury?
And
2 – When the January transfer window comes, do Luton need to rectify a situation they should have attended to in the summer transfer window by buying (or loaning in) another striker?
I believe that when a Luton without Collins would struggle but when it comes to acquiring another striker, who should Luton go for?
Could we possibly look just down the M1 and enquire about Andre Gray?
Who would you like to see come to Kenilworth Road?
