Edwards expects the goals to come for Luton duo Morris and Adebayo

Forward pairing are yet to get off the mark this season

Luton boss Rob Edwards has confirmed attacker Elijah Adebayo is fit to face QPR this evening, as he remains confident that it’s only a matter of time before the goals start to flow for the forward and his striking partner Carlton Morris.

The 26-year-old started Town’s Carabao Cup second round clash against the R’s in midweek, as with time ticking away in the 1-1 draw, he stayed down after a heavy challenge, limping off the Loftus Park playing surface. He then came back on for the final moments though, but didn’t take a spot-kick in the ensuing shoot-out that the Hatters eventually lost 4-1.

Having scored 10 goals in the Premier League last term, with Morris, who bagged 20 when Town were last in the Championship, also reaching double figures in the top flight, notching 11 in total, hopes had been high that the duo could carry on where they left off this term. Four games in though and despite firing off 24 shots between them, neither have hit the target, but despite this, Edwards wasn’t overly concerned, saying:

“His groin stiffened up right towards the end. He put in a heck of a shift, so he’s all right, we shoved him back out there to stand around for the last couple of minutes, but he’s recovered well, so he’s fine.
