we concede very few shots so his ratio of goals to shots is bound to be poor.

Trouble with that statistic Tad, is that last year, Leicester keeper was right up there and they didn't concede many shots. Its a tricky one as at times he looks top drawer but anyway, this is one to ponder if we get promoted.. very good keepers are very hard to find.

I would be happy with James Trafford only 22 years old if Burnley don`t go up and we do.
Stats like you say can be looked at however favourable you want to consider them.
For me our defence is good and I personally don`t think they have a right lot of confidence in Messlier.
He will save a penalty tonight.

Good first half there. Surprised how poor Luton are though. All the players putting a shift in and mostly making the right decisions. Solomon looking a lot sharper and Byram looking hard to shift from left back the way he’s playing. More of the same and no injuries please.

comfortable for the most part. let's keep it going

Top performance tonight after playing ‘last’ out of the previous weekend games. Rodon and Strujik back on form and tanaka superb. Farke will have a good problem with Ampadu returning soon and more competition to get a bench spot. Need McAtee in Jan to complete the squad?

think he'll end up at a prem team sadly

Farke will have a real tough decision to make when Ampadu is fit. The only way he gets back in for me is if Tanaka gets moved into a more offensive role. Rothwell has to be in the team because of his set piece deliveries and forward thinking passing style. Gruev doesn’t get near the team barring injuries.

I think the only justified reason to swap Byram and Firpo is the concern over Byrams fitness.
Farke mentioned he felt a slight hamstring pull last night so wouldn`t be surprised if Firpo steps in.
Messlier made a couple of decent saves last night after his wtf moment in the first half.
Solomon like you say looking sharper and if and it`s a big if he stays injury free he will turn out to be a great loan signing.
Be good if we could get Ferguson from Brighton to play up front but doubt he will drop down.
Saying that I doubt Brighton would want to strengthen another PL team.
