Carlton Morris believes Championship defenders already hate playing against him and Elijah Adebayo and that there’s still more to come as their strike partnership develops.
The striker joined Luton from Barnsley in the summer, which boss Nathan Jones, confirmed was a club record transfer fee.
And he’s lived up to that tag with three goals in his last four games, to make him the club’s current top scorer.
In contrast, Luton’s golden boot winner last term, Adebayo, is still searching for his first goal of the campaign, though Jones is unconcerned about the forward’s drought because performances have been promising and he’s getting into good scoring positions.
And while Adebayo is not quite firing, Morris says his partner is unselfishly giving him the opportunities to do some damage.
“I can promise you that centre-backs in this league don’t want to play against me and Eli,” the striker told the Luton Town Supporters’ Trust podcast.
“I know he’s going to attract attention, which leaves me free sometimes, and he knows that I’m going to do the same.
“We’re really starting to click in games and in training. I think we showed that against Wigan. He is a joy to play with because he takes the attention, so I can express myself and, hopefully, I do the same for him.
“We create chances for each other. Obviously, we haven’t scored from them yet, but we’re still getting to know how each other plays.
“But it’s not a strike-force that any defenders relish playing against at all.”
Coventry City come to Luton tonight and another Morris goal will make it three consecutive home games in which he’s scored, after two towering headers against Sheffield United and Wigan.
And the 26-year-old is hoping he can feed off the famous energy provided by the Kenilworth Road crowd under the lights, now the nights a drawing in.
“Coventry at home on Wednesday will be my first proper game under the lights,” said Morris.
“I’m looking forward to it because a few of the boys have said a few things about the night games here.
“I actually love it a lot. As brutal as it is to come as an away player, it’s twice as good as a home player. You just feel like you’re going to get rewarded for your hard work and effort at that place.
“It’s an intimate ground. The stands are really close to the pitch. It’s like a proper football ground and you can really feel the atmosphere and the energy in the stadium. Birmingham at home, I’ll always remember.
“It’s roughly 10,000, but it’s got the energy of 40,000 to 50,000 people in the stadium. I played at West Ham in the FA Cup a few years ago at the London Stadium and the atmosphere is miles better at Luton.
“Us at home in the league, the atmosphere’s electric and it’s a joy to play in front of.”
