Agree - when safe would love to get him more game time. Where is the question.

You need him buzzing around in the Carey role - perhaps Sonny spends time a bit deeper alongside someone like Doc or Coventry and we try Fullah just behind Kelman and Dykes/Miles?

Thought Carey was our best attacking player today though again only other one with any urgency / attempt to make things happen

paulsturgess

Fullah looks great and I would love to see him more , but happy for it to be in moderation/ under radar til the end of the season so we can really try and aim to have him flying for next season… I think he could be superb and it would be almost annoying if he is “too” good during the run in and immediately starts to draw transfer interest

Whether he gets minutes with Knibbs coming back after Norwich I’m not so sure but would be nice to give him a proper run out

Is Knibbs due back so soon? - I didnt expect to see him this season

Unlike Edwards knibbs is registered for the second half of the season and jones said it would be touch and go to get back up to speed before end of the season.

Knibbs hasn’t been up to speed all year

Cheers, thats good to know as hadn't heard anything... Shamefully forgot about Godden

Did more than the entire midfield despite only playing 30 mins. Need to start giving him a go 

RodneyCharltonTrotta

He needs to start 

stonemuse

Definitely … he’s confident and good enough 

Bolderhumphreyreid

Happy to keep him on the bench but he must be given at least 30 mins every game until the end of the season.

Fullah is so much more composed and imo technically better than Campbell and is able to think quicker.
I cannot understand why Campbell is picked ahead of him.
Apart from the fairly simple chance Campbell missed he didnt play that badly and I am against any abuse but also understand the frustration with him. Professional footballers who train every day should have a football brain and shouldn't we expect them to at least hit the target from 6 or 7 yards when in space?

I hadnt played for 5 months yesterday due to injury but still managed 5 goals in a friendly.
You either have that striker instinct or you don't.

Can you start Monday?

Unfortunately not ! I am too old for Championship footy.
My son on the other hand is available...
He is quick as anything, has brilliant control, goes past people for fun but crucially is very composed & has a football brain so can look up spot a pass and also has a wicked shot and scores lots of goals. Honestly when I see Campbell play I think Jesus my son is way better in every way.
He wasn't picked up by any academies and has been playing infrequently but honestly there must be so many players out there who never joined Academies who are very very good players. It breaks my heart knowing he will never get a chance.

They are completely different players so they aren’t really competing for the same role. Fullah isn’t a winger, he does alright there but you can tell it’s not his position and he can’t take a man on like TC does. I would love to see Fullah get a run out as the number 10 once we are safe as that’s his position 

Crispywood

So turns out he was just dropped, I’m no manager but even if you don’t plan to use Fullah taking him on the bench is surely much better for the experience of being involved with the 1st team, why would you need to take Berry when you have Knibbs and JRC on the bench just bizarre

Nathan bloody loves Luke Berry.

Curtis Fleming was in prolonged discussion with Ibby after training yesterday - I wouldn't be surprised to see him start on Saturday.

Appearance money for the Luton faithful.

I can’t understand why Fullah was dropped. He brings some threat from midfield. Another one of Jones ideas that I just don’t get. Fullah is going to be a top class player. Was speaking to a Leyton Orient scout about him and he agreed. He thinks a Premiership team will snap him up.

fenaddick

I don't agree with it but the answer is nous, he clearly wanted the option of Berry's experience. I actually think it's odder he chose to bring on JRC instead of Berry given the attacking role used

Needs to be on the bench though as one of 3 options

The Red Robin

Would have lost at Oxford without him.

Either that or he had a shite shot during training, and owes Curtis a new windscreen...

I feel this is more about justifying not leaving out a senior player for a teenager.

Knibbs isn’t inexperienced and is more likely to grab a goal and Godden came off the bench and scored. We had nous and goals on the bench. Berry doesn’t really add something unique that those two don’t.

TC and Watford’s goal scorer showed the importance of having pace and skill on the pitch. Fullah’s our closest option to that after TC, it’s more logical to include him, the difficult part for Jones is leaving out Berry or another senior player.

Berry will surely be released in the summer, and we should go with Carey, Knibbs and Fullah as our attacking midfield options next season. I hope we don’t find another way to block his progress, a decent run of games and he’ll do well at this level, something Jones pretty much said himself.

Six days ago he was an 18 year old guy. Turned 19 five days ago.

Fullah played well away at Birmingham and then was dropped out of the squad for weeks. He came off the bench against Bristol, played well again, and then he's dropped again. It's a strange one. Luton fans did warn us that NJ has his favourites but the whole thing with Luke Berry is out of control.
