The first half ends scoreless. We're getting outshot 3 to 8 (1 to 2 on target) even though we're winning possession with 54%.
57': Richie Wellens launches a great long pass to Neil Mellor on the right. Mellor moves into the box and his center to the 6 yard box finds Enoch Showunmi. Show scores! Up 1-0.
65': They get a player sent off. They switch to a 3-4-2 formation.
90': They score following a crazy long pass, this looked like it was offside by about a mile!!! Tied 1-1. This will be the final score.
Final Score: Luton 1, Walsall 1
Shots: Luton 9(2), Walsall 12(3)
MoM: Walsall's Michael Standing, with a rating of 10, without a goal.
HoM: nobody stood out... Got a bunch of 7's although Neil Mellor finished strong, after startng very slowly. He was rated at 5 for most of the first half and finished with a 7.
Possession: (us/them)
our zone: 16/12
middle: 21/20
their zone: 17/14
Overall: 54/46
We controlled the ball, it's a shame we couldn't get more scoring chances out of it...
We move up to 17th following the draw.
Injury News
Chris Coyne twists his knee in training. He will miss two weeks. We have a fairly deep defensive unit, we should be able to cover this loss...
