Lee Bowyer has said about the up and coming match at Luton
“They’re a good side. I’ve watched them against Bristol Rovers and Blackpool.
“They’ve
spent wisely this summer. I think they’ve brought in some good players,
and I was surprised how good they were really, but it’s going to be
tough going there, for sure.
“They move the ball well, they
compete, they press high and they get bodies in the box. They’re the
team to do that, so they’re dangerous.”
I feel this is the mantra of all football managers, regardless of who we are playing and what level they are playing at.
I know it would be playing hostage to fortune but I would just once love to hear a manager say
"Yeah we will stuff them easily. I could not believe that they bought him, he is such a donkey, should win by at least 5. We should walk this easy"
I won't hold my breath

Karlan - An old Pro?
Its taken a long time for Karlan Ahearne Grant to come of age .. he literally passed the traditionally accepted marker of 21 years last week. Many of us have been frustrated by him, not realising it was around 4 years ago that Bob Peters blooded him, at an age when most players are still dreaming of first team football.
Sadly it was not all good, talking to JBG, a few 1st team appearances led to an inflated ego, whilst at the same time the management suddenly dropped him from the 1st team squad with little to no man management to help him understand. His loan spell to Cambridge was a disaster where he was sent back to us because of his attitude.
Over the years we forgot his age and just despaired at wrong decisions and failure to score.
Last season, George Lapsie made his debut and looked like a rabbit in headlights, both the club and fans this season have given him a second chance and he has rewarded us well. George Lapslie is OLDER than Karlan Grant
Despite many of us on the terraces, the club has persevered with Karlan and his loan spell to Crawley has built his confidence so that he is looking a goal machine and an assist maker.
To add to his good year, Karlan is no longer under threat of Cypriot legal threat and it will not be long before we are wondering if someone will offer Duchatalet a few shekels and KAG is taken off to pastures green!
