No, if we were cruising at the top day in Luton’s position it would’ve made sense to integrate them. I expected us to be promoted this year automatically so a bit disappointed in the players that we haven’t. After Maia leaving and the lack of wins since December it would’ve been daft to put so much onus on young lads like that. Probably would have broken them having to answer to a toxic crowd
 
Mumba, no idea. Thought he showed promise in the few appearances way at the beginning of the season. Not sure what he'd have added given we've no shortage of midfielders. Kimpioka looks too raw. Has pace and seems keen enough but too inexperienced. Especially against some of the more savvy teams in this league. Game time pre season and training as part of the first team and they could be a boost next season if we're still in this league.
 
IMO it’s a strange one cause Power, Leadbitter etc are obviously better midfielders with more experience but Mumba showed a lot of promise in the early stages of the season, strange for him to be dropped indefinitely.

I’ve not seen Kimpioka play in person so I couldn’t comment on him

Yes definitely. Especially in the later stages of the EFLT run. We had a massive squad this and imo failed to utilise it.
No theyve both looked miles off.
Same as what people were saying about Maja at the start of the season.

Mumba looked good in the first game and half this season then, then he was dropped totally and made about one substitute appearance in the league for the rest of the season. Then looked good in the EFLT games but was dropped for the semi and the final.

If Kimpioka had got the same time on the pitch as Wyke and Grigg imo he'd have sored more, been a miles bigger threat with his pace and gained much needed experience. Again he looked good in the EFLT and was dropped for the semi and the final. Poor management imo, demoralising and poor for the confidence.
 
Mumba did a job but was nothing special. I'm not sure what people think he's going to come in and do better.

Mumba not up to it yet like

Don't agree with any of this.
 
No.
These two boys have been hyped to death by fans who are desperate to see change, quality and drive.

A, they are not ready
B they are not good enough.

Mumba may have a chance if let to develop the other is just fast with no ball control.

Hopefully both will kick in snd develop but no they shouldn’t have been used.
Maybe given a full run in the checkateade all if the way.
 
No, neither of them are ready yet. Mumba isn't strong enough, and Kimpioka is way too erratic - making a lightning quick run where he forgets to take the ball with him wouldn't have helped us at all.
 
I’d have liked to seen Mumba more, I think he’s going to be a great player. I suppose we’ve got to trust what the management are doing in terms of his long term progression.

Kimpioka struggles with the u23 sides. If his agent spits his dummy out & doesn’t sign a contract, it won’t be a loss
 
Are they our only 2 black players? I'm not for a minute implying anything I just can't think of another one.
