The team's injury wave made fans start to worry about the team's overall state. Fortunately, the first game in February was a British Championship match. Gao Bo had always sent all the substitute players to participate in this cup match. Even Matt and Adam, the regular main substitute Gao Bo, were not sent to the field.

In this British Championship game, Luton’s opponent was Brighton in the First Division. In the away game, Luton, who played all substitutes, played against Brighton, a very strong opponent in the First Division. It was very difficult. Only 2 minutes into the game, Luton fell behind by one goal, which made Gao Bo’s idea of ​​an away defense and counterattack come to naught.

In order to equalize the score, Gao Bo had to make offensive adjustments in the second half, but in this way, the game seemed to fall into the rhythm of confrontation. In the second minute of the game No. 60, Luton equalized the score, and just 2 minutes after Luton scored, Brighton also scored again to overtake the score.

The score of the next game began to rise alternately, and when the final game ended, the score of the game was 4-3!

Luton, whose defense has always been quite solid, conceded four goals in this game. Gao Bo really doesn't have much confidence in the strength of the team's substitute lineup.

Gao Bo didn't have too many regrets when he was eliminated from the British Championships. He didn't put too much energy into this event.

Now the team is [-] points behind the top team in the league, and there are still a dozen games left in the league. With more than ten points behind, if the team wants to win the second division championship, they can't afford to lose any points...

On February 30th, in the No.[-] round of the Second Division, Luton played against Grimsby at home.

Although Drinkwater has recovered from injury, Gao Bo did not let him start, but put him on the bench to be on the safe side. Team captain Kevin Keane's muscle injury has basically healed, but muscle injuries are easy to repeat, so Gao Bo simply didn't even let Kevin Keane in the roster.

Another injured team member is Charlie Austin. He also did not enter the squad for this game and is still recovering from his injuries.

In this game, Gao Bo simply deployed a single forward formation, with Vardy at the forefront alone.

As for the midfielder, Gao Bo sent five midfielders. Rodpp, a defensive midfielder who was promoted from the youth training camp, got the chance to start. His starting was Gao Bo as a reward for the young players who performed well in the youth training camp. Gao Bo hoped to inspire more players from the youth training academy.

In addition to this teenager, two regular substitutes in the midfield also got the chance to start. There is an increasing trend that the 17-year-old backcourt master Hassan Ali can play more and more positions.Gao Bo let him try central defenders, defensive midfielders, left and right defenders, and even left and right midfielders.Gao Bo is very optimistic about this player. This is a defensive player with a big heart and good physical fitness. At his age, it is a good exercise for him to play in different positions. Another midfielder, Joseph Ander, also got the first chance to start this season.

In addition to these fresh faces in the starting lineup, Kanter is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Luton's midfielder, and another player on the left side of the midfield, Lewis Emmanuel, is still starting this game.

Gao Bo dispatched five midfielders with considerable defensive and intercepting abilities. The intention is very obvious, that is, to compete with the opponent in the midfield!
This is actually a preview for Luton's next game.

In the next game against Manchester City, Charlie Austin may not be able to recover from injury in time, and Adam White only has half the physical fitness. This kid runs very fast, but he is not a stamina player. The training effect of physical coach Mel arranged for him is very slow, even with the bonus of training cards.And the team's high center forward Matt Schmidt has poor mobility. It would be fine if he plays in a position where Luton can press the opponent to attack. If he plays against a team with a certain strength like Manchester City, Matt, who is too poor in mobility, may not be able to do what he wants.

Therefore, Gao Bo simply used a single forward in this game, and first tried how effective Vardy played as a single forward.

Grimsby is currently ranked last in the league standings, weaker than Luton, so Gao Bo has the absolute confidence to use this game to test his lineup.

This is actually the case, not to mention that Gao Bo is equipped with the card that increases the team's interception success rate by 15%. Even without equipment, the strength gap between the two sides is quite obvious.

It was almost difficult for Grimsby to take the ball down. Luton's five midfielders easily completed the strangling of the midfield. They frequently hit the ball behind Grimsby's defense to give full play to Vardy's impact!

In this game, Vardy let go of the goal.

At the end of the first half, Vardy had already performed a hat-trick. In the 10th minute of the second half, Vardy scored another goal and staged a big four. Luton led the opponent with four goals at home.

Then Gao Bo started to make substitutions. Vardy worked well as a lone striker. Now he wants to try Adam's power as a lone striker.

Although Gao Bo has equipped all the cards that can bring out Adam's greatest strength, when Adam is alone in the front, he still seems a little uncomfortable, and always pulls to the sideways habitually... In this way, sometimes good offensive opportunities are often dragged to positional battles, and Luton also lacks a strong point in the middle that can directly attack the opponent's defense. As a result, Luton's offensive is sluggish.

Although Adam cut from the wing dribble to the penalty area at the end of the game and scored a goal, in Gao Bo's view, after replacing Adam, Luton's single striker formation did not play well.

Gao Bo sighed, God opened a window for you, but often closes another door for you. There is no perfect genius in this world.Adam is fast and dribbles well, but his ability to read the game is a bit poor...
But Gao Bo is not in a hurry. In addition to his natural football IQ, game experience can be accumulated by playing more games.

"Sort out Jamie's running video and Adam's running video in this game." Gao Bo said to Lin Sen.

For these young players, it's not time to stop learning.

When the whistle of the game ended, Gao Bo and his players gave each other high-fives.

After winning this game, Luton can prepare for the fifth round of the FA Cup against Manchester City in the next few days!
