He gets to the byline frequently And did so a few times yesterday
Does he just become Matty Blair? We rule out any goals or real attacking threat but double down on work rate?
Said it when he signed, average 4th division player. “But clubs in higher divisions wanted him”. Ok then. Was just being negative again then as well!The thing is, the data points to all these things before we sign these average players. It’s obvious with some of them, yet the club don’t know where to look. Graeme Lee said he was a good lad so we will have him!

Not many players are a lower league Ivan Toney or even a Copps. So when we get one like Luke we should thank our lucky stars!!! If we have a squad full of players with the same talent and effort we'd be in the playoffs at least.
Newport put 2 and 3 players on him today. He was left to try and find a way through which he generally couldn’t, you could see his frustration.Might try to get a couple of our lads in a triangle. Opposition are a bit scared of him, we don’t make the most of it.
The initial post hasn’t aged well has it?My lad had £20 on a rovers win and moly to score any time at 9-1.
Hands up from me with this one.At the time I was very frustrated with him and I genuinely couldn’t be happier to be proved wrong. He’s been sensational.I worry now he’s going to get snapped up!Football eh
I’ll put my hand up and admit I thought the whole team were dead and buried in January/ February. Despair. Doom and gloom. Bereft. People were talking about playoffs and I suggested that would be dreamland and Roy of the rovers stuff. And yet here we are.Always happy to be proved wrong when rovers are on the up.
I think the problem was that he was our only attacking threat so teams could double up to shut him down/push him onto his weaker foot and that was the Rovers gameplan undone.Since we've brought in Haks (who looks to be carrying a bit of a knock at the moment) it's given the opposition more to think about; they can't focus solely on Luke as that leaves Haks free. They give each other the freedom to find space and use it to our advantage.
