On timing of the release of this interview, it got me thinking about one of life’s big questions ……. does @Callumcafc ever sleep?
No Callum doesn't sleep as he loves his cricket in India as well but I heard he has the odd power nap of 30 mins before there is action somewhere in the world of sport and business.
If you are not under pressure surely you should pass back to the side of the goal.
Absolutely, that’s what we were taught at school when we were kids because keepers in the 60’s weren’t very good with their feet to play outfield and were stuck in goal 😉
It helped that they could pick up a back pass as well
Fake pic all day long, unless I have missed something on previous unvisited posts.
Really?
I'm pretty certain that life's too short for people to be adding Stone Island badges to jackets worn by Nathan Jones for some nefarious reason - his choice of clothing is hardly a global event.
You might be right though. For our local press perhaps faking Stone Island jackets is more interesting than making people cross their arms and look miserable for an article about pot holes.
I noticed that as well, I heard that to keep the players on their toes Nathan has changed the order of the week days to the one they use in Wales. It’s going to cause some chaos for fans in two days time when people wake up and realise it’s Saturday already…

Our defence doesn't usually know what day of the week it is on a Saturday
Port Vale had 29 shots, 12 on a target. As much as AMB made some decent reflex saves that game, they are more in line with what I expect a keeper to be able to deal with. It’s all the other parts of his game that worry me - he’s quiet, his distribution is sooooo slow, he is not particularly great at coming for crosses, he has a tendency to punch the ball back into danger areas.
To be honest I’m not sure Istead is the answer, though I think he is certainly worth a go. At this level I’d want to have a big physical beast who can command his area
All i read there was bring back Dillon i'd take him just for another Phillips inspired Twist and shout at the end of next season alone. I think AMB's biggest default problem is his lack of communication. His distribution is also very slow but for me its the talking, or lack of a bollocking for his defenders when they do make mistakes. I sit not to far from the goal and i've never heard him. That for me is a massive factor of any good defensive unit. Isted isnt the answer, just re-watch the games he started and the goals conceded. Not dissimilar to AMB.
I agree that Isted is worth a go, after the ridiculous punch out and the slap/flap where AMB went to punch it out, both seen from the other end in the second half on Saturday. Isted was rated at Luton and with a proper defence, he might just be the answer.
Rated at Luton ? he played 3 games in 6 years & played non league in 30/40 games. Apparently had a decent spell at Barnsley when their first choice got injured. In all he's played 27 league games, he might be a better choice than AMB at the moment who really knows but the answer? I'd be very surprised, he doesn't look any better than AMB & we definitely need a new number one for next season.
Think what you like. I lived in a village north of Luton for fifteen years and have many Luton supporting friends. On the night of Luton's biggest win in the 1980's I was in my local pub only to be joined by the entire Luton team who chose it as a place to celebrate. Yes, those local supporters I know, have been with Luton through thick and thin, go to watch their team train when permitted etc. just like our ardent supporters. They all had a good opinion of Isted, knew he wasn't going to pull up roots as a player in the premier league but rated him from what they had seen. Having watched AMB at fairly close quarters he still doesn't have the confidence to take off the mask and play, and continues to have frailties and not command the defence. My opinion, your entitled to yours.

Let's all watch it, dissect it and pick holes in it. Hopefully not..
Club ignoring its UK "legacy" fans as usual to tap into lucrative overseas new fan markets.

I'm excited for the future
As Rich says, it doesn’t make a massive amount of difference in today’s football though.
