Luton Town supporters were impressed by Marvelous Nakamba‘s first performance at the weekend.
The 29-year-old who moved to Luton from Aston Villa on loan on deadline day was named in the squad for the visit of Stoke City.
He was introduced for Allan Campbell midway through the second half and the Kenilworth Road already gave him his own song to the tune of ‘Tequila’ by The Champs.
Some of the reactions to Nakamba’s performance:
@nptomlin:
I thought he was excellent. One touch passing, strong and powerful.
I don’t believe he has played much lately, so it’s even more impressive. You know he has a bit of class about him.
@sonic_sinclair:
Well the lad got stuck in he will get better.
@LTFCsmithy:
Calm, composed, did things quietly & competently. Anticipation was good and seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and left-footed which will help bring some balance.
@outofbounds58:
Classy. Once he gets match fit he should play a lot of games. The question is does he rotate with Lawnsbury with PRM, Clicker and filling the other 2 MF positions?
@ChrisSansby:
Helped us get back into the game and regain control. Fast, strong and broke up play well. Very impressed.
@Danlangford6:
This is what Marv will do. He will never set the world alight but his work and the things he does in games sometimes go unnoticed. He is great at breaking up play. Hope you come up this season, but Boro & WBA looking strong. Could be a tight playoffs!
@SteveLTFC17:
Simply Marvelous.
@LouTunwin:
Stoke had their best spell and were looking threatening in the 20-odd minutes before he came on. We then turned that around without anything obviously flashy from him.
@Markledsom:
Already the second-best Marv to ever play for Luton? #COYH.
@ParsGaz:
Great lad and a good player, hope he does the business for you guys and helps to get you promoted.
On the Luton News’ Facebook page, many people also suggested that Nakamba played well and could be a perfect fit for the way The Hatters play.
Some said it is too early to tell “but seemed willing to fit in with the squad. Hope he liked his song.”
Responding to the fans’ remarks, Nakamba said he was “delighted to have signed on loan for Luton Town for the remainder of the season. Many thanks to the fans and everyone at the club for welcoming me.”
