, because you come to the top of the league, you know it’s going to be difficult but you win the game and keep a clean sheet. But we know where we’re at, we know there’s another game next week and none of this matters if we don’t continue to work in the same way.”
The Role of Fans
Wilshere has also highlighted the crucial role that fan support plays in his team’s performance. “The support from the fans is like a 12th man, it really is when you’re on the pitch and feel that they’re with you – we need to keep building that energy between us because that can take you somewhere,” he said.
Josh Keeley’s save from Nathan Lowe’s spot-kick was also praised by Wilshere: “Josh is growing in confidence, growing in presence, he’s excellent with his feet and making some good saves now as well. He’s got a good future and definitely can help us this year.”
Future Prospects
With the team showing signs of improvement, Wilshere remains cautious but optimistic: “What I am starting to learn about this league is you can limit those moments but it’s going to be very difficult because they play direct – if you try and press a little bit more, they’ll put it over you and then you have to win the second balls. Then you need big moments from your goalie and big tackles, and we certainly had that.”
For Luton fans, the return of Jack Wilshere brings renewed hope for stability and success in League One. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on whether his tactical acumen and experience can lead to a sustained rise up the table.
