WE'RE NOT SCORING GOALS!
The reason Luton are top of the league is very simple - they score more goals than anyone else.
Goals win games & unless we rediscover our early season form in front of goal, I fear our slide will continue.

Lord S !...
I have, on more than one occasion quoted the great Sir Bobby Robson on this very matter.
He had a paradigm regarding 'Goals and the scoring of them ... it was simply this :-
SCORE GOALS REGULARLY AND CONSISTENTLY = PROMOTION.
FAIL TO SCORE GOALS = MID TABLE MEDIOCRITY AT THE BEST, RELEGATION MORE
THAN LIKELY !.
When GOALS ' dry-up ' where the Reds are concerned, this has in the past lasted for more than a few games unfortunately, and has been the subject of many posts on our Forum.
One can only hope that over the Christmas and New Year games that this trend doesn't rear it's ugly head once more !.
So a Christmas wish for our team is that they will see the ball nestling in their opponent's net over and over again !.
ps. What about that absolute Cad purporting to be a Lincoln City fan... is he a blot on the landscape or what ?.
