This time last year, he was netting in a 2-1 League Two win for Walsall over Bolton, the seventh of ten goals in 28 bottom tier appearances. Now, in the Championship, he’s bang on for a goal every other game, with ten goals in 20 outings. The 23-year-old is now one of only five forwards in that club, with Fulham’s Mitrovic (22), Blackburn’s Ben Brereton-Diaz (17), Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke (16) and Swansea’s Joel Piroe (11). It was only going to end one way 😉 | #COYH /Kh91WcUom9- Luton Town FC December 12, 2021 His headed equaliser against Fulham – a tremendously under-appreciated skill against his former side – moved him into double figures for the season.

The striker has not yet had a full calendar year as a Championship player and he’s already mixing it with the boys of the goal-getting department. When you’ve got that, and talent and some genetic attributes, then he’s some force.” The good thing about him is he’s just a humble kid that wants to work hard. And we won’t let him rest on his laurels. “That’s a great thing for us and we will reap the benefit. He’s going to get better, he’s not going to get any worse. “He doesn’t get paid as much as Mitrovic,” said the Town boss, adding: “Pound for pound, there’s not a striker like him in the Championship and that’s what we’re proud of. For Manager Nathan Jones, he’s already one of the best two number nines in the division, the other being Aleksander Mitrovic. He’s the definition of a precocious talent and getting better all the time. Photo by Liam Smithīe honest nobody expected Elijah Adebayo to be this good, this quick, did they? We kept winning the ball quite high up and we were creating chances.” Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu jumps on goalscorer Elijah Adebayo. They did have a few spells but overall, we were right at it. “After the goal, the gaffer changed the shape a bit and it worked well for us. I think everyone, dealt well with what they had because they’re a good team. “We are disappointed we didn’t get a clean sheet. I think the reaction from us was very good. It’s something we need to go away and look at to make sure it doesn’t happen again. “As a defender, conceding from a set-piece is disappointing and we should be doing better with that. Overall, we had the better chances and I think we played well and maybe deserved a bit more,” he said. “We conceded from a set play and maybe should’ve done better than that. So a point was the least Luton deserved, but Burke’s reaction to restricting the output of such a talented and expensive side speaks volumes to the the evolution process that is taking place at Luton. I was far away from it and couldn’t see much, but it did look like a foul.” Because it’s inside the box, it gives the referee and decision to make and maybe it wasn’t the right one. And, if the referee hadn’t bottled given a penalty for Joe Bryan’s barge in the back of Fred Onyedinma late on then it could’ve been even better than a point.īoss Nathan Jones said it was a clear penalty, while defender Reece Burke added: “From my view, I think if it’s outside the box, it may be given. I expected nothing, and got an impressive performance. Pessimists and realists alike might’ve been hard pressed to predict anything favourable for Luton.
