Genuinely fascinating statement from Matt Bloomfield, far more revealing than any other I can remember. It seems those talking of disharmony in the club were absolutely right, though I maintain that Matt's career trajectory as a manager (particularly the cut-throat way he ditched Colchester for us when we came calling) suggests he may well have jumped ship when a Championship club swooped in, even if everything was sweet and harmonious between him and Dan Rice.

It'll be fascinating to see how quickly a successor is in place and what changes they make to the playing style - and whether there'll be time to bring in more players between now and the end of the transfer window if we're looking to play a different way. The suggestion earlier in this thread that Matt was blocked from picking players because the data said they weren't right for that match is noteworthy. I can't see many high profile coaches wanting to work under that sort of pressure - certainly not the Ashley Coles of this world.

This is a month in the club's history which books, plays, TV series should be based on. If only Rob Couhig had managed to get that deal of the ground with the streamers!

@bluntphil actually works there and is close to the (former) gaffer...perhaps you should direct your questions to him. Otherwise it just looks like you grinding the same old axe.

It’s interesting that recently he mentioned how hurt he’d been by the reaction at Leyton Orient last season. I thought it was a strange comment to make at the time, but hindsight makes everything clearer.

Come gather ‘round people wherever you roam,and admit that the waters around you have grown.

The video on the Luton page is very enlightening too.

Blooms says that he wasn't go to leave Wycombe for anything but that it had to feel right.

It seems like Luton have really sold themselves to him.

"I thought you was dead!"

That's the one.

Apt for @marlowchairs first post since 2019 - must be a big news day!

Perfectly put.

I'm going. Note that, to get to the road alongside the club, from Beaconsfield or HW/M40, you turn left into Services, go right round the roundabout, back to the A355 and turn right at the lights, and then immediately left.
