Best Of

While I agree that Matt has left for what he perceived to be a better job - which could be more money, more security, feels more wanted, feels it's a better stepping stone for the future, has responsibilities which he enjoys more - the apparent truth is WWFC didn't try and secure a very promising young manager who had been linked with a number of jobs (interviewed for 2 if we are to believe the reports) and who had won 2 MOTM awards.

Why was that?

What plans does the management hierarchy have to replace him?

Time will tell if it was the correct move - for both sides - but currently we've lost a very talented young manager who had taken us to the point where we have a chance of automatic promotion to the Championship.

If we don't at least make the play-offs this year that's on Dan Rice, he had it in his hands to secure Matt until at least the season end and he failed to ensure he stayed out manager (or head coach).

I've no idea what's gone on behind closed doors but our season has been derailed - let's hope we can sustain a challenge for a play-offs spot.

A little off topic, but Luton need to work on their interview lighting. They make Blooms look like a crime suspect.

Matt Bloomfield ahead of first match in charge of Luton!

One of my favourite early Blooms era memories was when he swept home against Leyton Orient in late 2005, helping us go top of L2. All seemed possible in the hysteria of Gormania and that was a cracking game.

That same night I’d help guide a group of Scandinavian ground hoppers to the ground from the train station. Little did I know it was a sign…sort of.

...in 2004 (21 years ago) Matt Bloomfield made just his second ever Wycombe Wanderers appearance as a half-time substitute (replacing Craig Faulconbridge) in a 3-0 Division Two defeat to Blackpool at Adams Park.

In 2009 (16 years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 45 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 1-0 League Two defeat to Grimsby Town at Adams Park (He was substituted at half-time and replaced by Angelo Balanta).

In 2015 (ten years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 90 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 1-1 League Two draw with Bury at Gigg Lane.

Part of a bigger lull really. Think we're about 4 wins from 10 and only 2 league wins in 6, both last min, one fluke and one pen!

The bottom line is that man leaves job for what he thinks is a better one elsewhere. I've done it myself, as have others. Sometimes the grass is greener, sometimes not. I wish him luck.

That just means they think (probably correctly) that their lawyers are better than the ones the league can afford.

Or them basically claiming "We can't wait to have our day in court" when they have basically been filing frivolous legal blocks to try and stop it happening for years.

All the politics and stuff aside, he does have a really hateful aggressive demeanour on the pitch. That definitely fuels the flames.

However, for the first time watching last night, like i'd said elsewhere, I actually warmed to the way he handled the potentially volatile situation.

And that massive steward having to form a human shield just to let him take a throw in was horrible.

I'm sure the next time he's smashing someone and screaming abuse at anyone in earshot, I'll revert to my usual thoughts on him though!

The Chesterfield goal was amazing and capped a great day out.
