With 14 games played in our first season in the Premier League, Luton Town have scored just 13 goals, less than one a game.
In the last two games, against Crystal Palace and Brentford, we’ve managed 3 goals, 2 of which were scored by Jacob Brown.
Our main striker, Carlton Morris, has scored 3 times this season but has not got on the scoresheet for quite a while.
Following the loss to Brentford, one communication I received inferred that maybe, following his 2 goals in his last 2 games, it might be time to rest Morris and start with Brown.
Naturally, being inquisitive, I wanted to know if it was a thought that was shared by our readership.
Putting the question to a poll, entitled – Who Would You Start With? – the results proved to be interesting.
Opinion was evenly split with 23% opting for Jacob Brown and 22% opting for Carlton Morris.
However, what surprised me was that the remaining 55% voted for the third option of playing them both!
Could that be the way forward?
Could the time be approaching whereby we have to go on the front foot and try to push teams back or would that leave us open to the counter-attack so many Premier League teams are very good at?
