Luton comment

Opinion: Nathan Jones’ return is the sensible decision regardless of popularity

June 8, 2020 Kevin Harper 2

It is just over a week since Luton Town rewrote the football rules for expecting the unexpected, when Nathan Jones was appointed as manager for the second time. I’ve been pretty vocal about Jones since […]

Opinion: By getting rid of Jones, Luton are showing football will have to cut its cloth after Covid crisis

May 3, 2020 Kevin Harper 2

Finding things to do during lockdown is not the easiest task in the world, but thankfully that was not an issue last Friday. With it being the anniversary of the greatest day in Luton Town […]

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

Back in October I wrote a column on this website suggesting that, in the interests of fairness, for everyone involved, it was only right that Simon Sluga was dropped from the Luton starting 11. This was after […]

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: Six years ago a Luton legend was born

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 […]

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 […]

Opinion: Dropping Sluga for Bristol City clash is ‘fairest thing to do’ for everyone

October 18, 2019 Kevin Harper Comments Off on Opinion: Dropping Sluga for Bristol City clash is ‘fairest thing to do’ for everyone

“Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That’s the nature of being a goalkeeper.” That is a quote from the late Wales manager Gary Speed, a reality that I am sure […]

Opinion: Last major hurdle for Luton’s new stadium is bigger than any football result

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 […]
