For those of us who believe the usage of five different goalkeepers to be responsible for our drop off in form. Luton Town are on their fifth goalkeeper of the season today (Shea, Palmer, Sluga, Steer and today Isted). They can secure their place in the play-offs today.

I don’t disagree that Sluga is a liability. Think it was a sensible decision to sell. But the counter argument to having him in goal for the best part of
the season would be, that surely it makes them a more vulnerable side and less likely to pick points up given his obvious flaws?

And surely losing 5 keepers and various defenders is indeed why we've gone from not conceding against set pieces to conceding a lot!?

Up to Coventry in Jan, three goals conceded from dead balls, joint best record in the league.

Starting with one at Cov, 10 in 20 since, only Birmingham (11) with more

I am still not sure why we offloaded de Wijs either. Yes he was unreliable in terms of fitness but he's 100 times the defender Sanderson is.
