Opinion: Sluga turnaround shows players should not be written off so quickly

March 7, 2020 Kevin Harper Comments Off on Opinion: Sluga turnaround shows players should not be written off so quickly

Opinion: Enough of this ‘Graeme Jones has lost the dressing room’ rubbish

February 22, 2020 Kevin Harper Comments Off on Opinion: Enough of this ‘Graeme Jones has lost the dressing room’ rubbish

‘Graeme Jones has lost the dressing room’. If I had £1 for every time I have read that quote over the last three to four months, I could probably pay for Newlands’ Park myself, and still have […]

Opinion: Get Nathan Jones back? I’d rather have Tom Jones as Luton boss

November 19, 2019 Kevin Harper 11

I knew it would come in the end. I have to admit I didn’t see it coming this soon, but I get how football works and I knew it would come eventually – the calls […]

Izzy Brown
Luton comment

Opinion: Izzy Brown, defend? Why on earth sacrifice Luton’s most creative player for that?

November 1, 2019 Kevin Harper Comments Off on Opinion: Izzy Brown, defend? Why on earth sacrifice Luton’s most creative player for that?

A lot has happened in the two weeks since I last penned this column. The Town deservedly beat Bristol City, proving the decision regarding changing the goalkeeper to be the correct one, before competitive defeats at Fulham […]

September 26, 2019 Kevin Harper Comments Off on Opinion: Last major hurdle for Luton’s new stadium is bigger than any football result

As I found myself reflecting on the Carabao Cup defeat to Leicester City on Tuesday evening, I couldn’t bring myself to be too disappointed. Of course, no football fan likes to see their team lose […]

September 21, 2019 Kevin Harper Comments Off on Opinion: We can’t change the past – all I care about is what Brabin does now
