Chapter 41 Moves Closer to the Third Round of the FA Cup

Matt Schmidt and Vardy are not very effective, the main reason is that in the absence of a wide advantage, Matt Schmidt's header power cannot be used, and Matt's mobility is too poor, so Vardy is often prone to a multi-person marking situation, in this regard, Matt is difficult to share Vardy's pressure.

The game was postponed due to Luton's 14th round opponents, Benlett, who had a Carabao Cup task at the weekend, and Luton had a bye in the 14th round, with one game less, but because the two teams in the relegation zone continued to lose, Luton did not fall into the relegation zone again.

In the fifteenth round of the league, Charlie Austin is back.

With Charlie Austin, who is very mobile, Luton's forward line can finally move quickly.

On November 1, Luton Town travel to Shetbury, who are the favourites for promotion this season, and are now second in the league with 27 points. Although Luton's winning streak has lifted them out of the relegation zone, for Shetbury, Shetsbury, who is playing at home, certainly will not face Luton Town in a completely vulnerable bus to deal with opponents.

Sheesbury, who is playing at home, still has to be dignified. It's just that if Shesbury's head coach had known the outcome of this game in advance, he would have chosen not to have this dignity of face.

Charlie Austin, who returned from injury in this game, ushered in a big explosion!!

It was a game that impressed Gao Bo, and from the moment the referee blew the kick-off whistle, the game fell completely into the rhythm of Luton.

In the fourth minute of the game, Charlie Austin was a clever run in the penalty area, received a pass from a teammate and pushed the ball into the opposite corner with his right foot.

Charlie Austin's goals soon followed, and in the eleventh and thirteenth minutes of the game, Charlie Austin scored two more goals in two minutes to complete his hat-trick of the game.

Luton's quick pass, fully implementing the principle of high wave fast pass and fast shooting high pressing, made the promotion favorite team Shetsbury dizzy.

Charlie Austin, who thought he had completed his hat-trick, had a chance to rest, but he didn't expect to score again at the end of the first half.

It was a header and Charlie's movement was very flexible, he took advantage of the position in front of the defenders, and Vardy was also active in helping Charlie Austin open up space and take away some of the defence.

In the second half of the game, Gao Bo replaced his two forwards, as well as Drinkwater, and he was already leading 4-0, and he was already in control, and Gao Bo wanted to let the main players get more rest.

Coming on was striker Matt Schmidt. Compared to playing with Jamie Vardy as a two-centre-forward, Matt seems to feel much better when playing in a single-centre-forward formation.

Another midfielder, Hassan Ali, this is a player promoted by Gao Bo in the U19 youth team, only 18 years old this year, Hassan impressed Gao Bo and gave him a chance to enter the 18-man squad, is Hassan's mental attributes, his work dedication, bravery, composure, and decisive attributes have reached more than 70, and in terms of physical attributes, Hassan is simply the size of a long-distance runner, and his endurance has even reached 86!! Although in other technical attributes, Hassan does not reflect the potential of superiority, but for such mental attributes and endurance, Gao Bo is willing to give Hassan a chance, a team needs more players with such mental toughness, such a team will be resilient.

Of course, what makes Gao Bo even more interested is Adam White, who has recently been promoted to the first team, this young player who has impressed Gao Bo, he is only 17 years old this year.

However, in his professional league debut, White's performance was not a success, as he broke through several flanks, but the subsequent crosses were not handled very well. But fortunately, the team is already leading 4-0, and Gao Bo also has the patience to slowly cultivate a few substitutes for the team that can be used.

Finally, in the 87th minute, White finally made a good pass, and after a successful break down the right flank, he took two steps into the box and then sent a cross.

High striker Matt didn't have to jump in the penalty area, he stood still and shook his head to attack the goal, and the football flew into the goal again.

In the end, Luton Town beat Shetsbury 5-0, sweeping away the gloom of the previous two league games.

.........

Gao Bo was very satisfied with Linsen's work, and after the 15th round of the league, Lin Bo came to Gao Bo's office and handed over a detailed analysis of Luton's next opponent.

Luton's next game is against fifth-tier Walsall in the Championship.

Gao Bo actually has an indifferent attitude towards the British Championships, anyway, he doesn't plan to put any main players in this game, and he doesn't care too much about how far this event can go.

To Gao Bo's satisfaction, he saw Lin Sen's ability to work.

Walsall's tactical play, starters, and substitute lists in recent games, as well as the characteristics of each player, especially the characteristics of some core players, are fully explained by Linson's data.

This is the data analysis report that Gao Bo wants. Previously, Gao Bo wanted to hand over the job to John Aston but the England big man was a good player when he played football, but it was not the same when he was asked to combine it with data to make an analysis.

Gao Bo decided to give Lin Sen an early regularization, and in the office, Gao Bo introduced Lin Sen to other members of the coaching staff.

"This is our data analyst, whose primary responsibility is to gather and analyze intelligence on our adversaries."

If it was Gao Bo who first came to the team, he hired a Chinese to come in, maybe people would still suspect that Gao Bo was a fake public servant and gave Lin Sen a back door, but now, the entire coaching staff has been completely conquered by Gao Bo, and no one has come to challenge the authority of the head coach.

On November 8, Luton Town took on Walsall away in the second round of the British Championship, and Gobor sent Adam White and Matt Schmidt into the start, Adam Walter was quite good against Walsall, scoring twice in the second half, both from the flank and down the middle. Towards the end of the game, Adam White set up Matt Schmidt to score!

Several of the team's forwards are in good form at the moment, with Jamie Vardy and Charlie Austin not relenting despite scoring goals, as Matt Schmidt and Adam White are eyeing their regular positions.

Luton Town then enjoyed another winning streak.

On November 8, in the first round of the FA Cup, Luton Town beat sixth tier team Al Qingcheng 3-0 at home to advance to the second round of the League Cup.

On November 15, in the 16th round of the league, Luton Town won 2-1 at home to Dagenham, opening the scoring in the first half and second-half substitute Matt Schmidt netting from a corner.

On November 22, in the 17th round of the league, Luton Town defeated Rochdale 5-2 away; In the 18th round on 26 November, Luton Town beat Brentford 2-0 at home. Luton Town now have seventeen points and in the table they climb to 15th place, 13 points clear of Coventry, a seventh-placed team that qualifies for the promotion play-offs. Twenty points away from the top team Notts County!

They have gone from minus 30 to 20 points at the top of the table, and there is no team debating whether Luton will be relegated – and with this momentum, it is not surprising that Luton are even promoted.

On November 29, the final match of November, in the second round of the FA Cup, Luton Town away to Serie A side Xiu Anlian.

With Jamie Vardy's first-half goal, Charlie Austin sealed the win in the 83rd minute of the second half!
