Match #10: home vs Stockport (17th with 9pts, only 3 more than us)
odds: Luton 5-4(fav), Stockport 7-4
S: Showunmi/Tarachulski/Vine
AMC: Mansell
DM: Davis/Wellens/Keane
DC: Bruce/James/Coyne
GK: Jensen
Brian Jensen is set for his debut as a Hatter. Chris Coyne is back in the starting lineup despite lacking in match fitness. I'll keep an eye on him.
They show a 4-4-2 formations with moderate push from the wingers.
26': I HATE DEFLECTIONS!!! A friggin' deflection off our defensive wall on a free kick is the reason for their first goal. Down 0-1.
The half ends with us down 0-1. Shots are low on each side, but we're worse, shootin only twice, once on target. They are winning possession with 55%.
58': They get a penalty out of nowhere. No explanations, nothing. They score, down 0-2.
We lose and I get to laugh a little. Rob Beckwith is named Man of the Match after I put him in the game in the 75th minute and he ended the game with a rating of 8. Jensen gets a 5, but was at 8 for a long time. I'm blaming this on the lack of match pratice...
Final score: Luton 0, Stockport 2
Shots: Luton 2(1), Stockport 7(4)
We got blanked completely in the second half, not one shot on or off target, that sucks...
Possession: (us/them)
our zone: 16/14
middle: 17/27
their zone: 11/15
Overall: 44/56
We stay in 22nd after the loss.
Enoch Showunmi now has 5 yellows and will miss the next match.
I decide that we will go back to 4-3-3, no matter what. I hope it's not too little too late. The season is still young, but players are starting to get restless...
Training News
Kevin Foley resumes full training following his physiotherapy session. The specialist who treated him is optimistic that he's fully recovered from his injury.
Transfer News
Lee Morris requests to be transfer listed. I've already offered him around twice, without having him be transfer listed, and nobody wanted of him. I accpets his request.
Board Appraisal
Even though we're in the middle of the month, I check with the board. They are now only satisfied with my performance as manager of the club. Not looking good...
