News: Luton Star Fred Onyedinma Makes a Confident and Boostful Statement About the Match
Attacker Fred Onyedinma of Town is optimistic that his team can defeat AFC Bournemouth, who is now winning, at Kenilworth Road today in order to gain a huge three points in their struggle to stay up this season.
When the teams last played, a little more than three weeks ago, the Hatters lost 4-3 at Vitality Stadium after blowing a 3-0 halftime lead. Rob Edwards’ guests were completely overwhelmed by the Cherries’ second-half rally.
Town had three goals in the first forty-five minutes and had more opportunities in the frantic second half. Tahith Chong had a goal disallowed for a slight offside, while Ross Barkley also missed a shot from a few yards out.
As they prepare for this afternoon’s encounter, Onyedinma and his teammates are quite optimistic about ending a run of 10 games without a victory since defeating Brighton 4-0 back in January.
He remarked, “I was watching it, and even though we were up three goals, it was still upsetting because, as you can see, we scored three goals. This might be an excellent game, especially at home with the support of our supporters.
Even when we were in the Championship, nobody would have predicted that we would be promoted, but the boys will always be confident. The squad’s unity is always beneficial, since we overcame the odds by gradually winning each round.
I believe the boys are always together and you’ll see it through to the end because we’re going to give it our all no matter which team the manager puts out there.
The 27-year-old, who faced an empty season when a loan transfer abroad fell through in January owing to injury, could only have dreamed of being on the field that evening on the south coast. He wasn’t even a member of the Town team at the time.
With Tom Lockyer out for the remainder of the season, Onyedinma took the final spot in Luton’s 25-man roster just over a week ago. Since then, he has had an incredible turnaround in his luck, starting his first-ever top flight game against Arsenal midweek and making his Premier League debut at Spurs last Saturday.
He will need to quickly adjust to a level he has never experienced before after playing for nearly 90 minutes in England’s top division last weekend. However, based on his two trips to north London, the former Millwall winger said of his experiences: “It’s good, it’s what you expect it to be.” Making any kind of mistake will result in punishment, but since I’m a rather physical player, you can also see my intensity and the transitions between shots.
I was making an effort to help. Although Arsenal will have the majority of the ball, so it won’t be simple. Nevertheless, I’ll try to attack whenever I find space. While it was exciting to make my debut, the outcome wasn’t the best, so it was bittersweet. Nevertheless, I still valued and relished every second of it.
Despite conceding a second goal on the brink of halftime, Luton still managed to make their wonderful travelling supporters proud at the Emirates. There were concerns that the Gunners would falter from that point on, with goal differential potentially playing a role in who wins the Premier League this season. But in that second forty-five minutes, Luton were the more dominant team, nearly securing a consolation via Luke Berry and Ross Barkley.
In the second half, Onyedinma continued, “I think we came on more, we had a little bit of the ball, and you could see we got ourselves into positions.” While the final result may not have been ours, we nevertheless proved our worth throughout the second half of the game. It’s the boys’ fault, I suppose, that we don’t go to games expecting to settle. We attempt to win the game, and such things can occur when you try. Although it’s very upsetting, I think the players worked really hard; occasionally luck is needed, though, and maybe we can win on Saturday.
