Congratulations, @Glenactico - all the best for the coming birth and beyond!
Re: Match Day Thread: Barnsley
On Westergaard, definitely felt as if he was probably lacking a bit of sharpness which is understandable, but equally he seemed to get himself into really good areas, and with his height he should be an asset from crosses. His teammates just need to get used to playing with him and sensing when he’s going to drift away from his man and create space for himself.
But considering he probably had fewer than 10 touches of the ball and a number of those came in the opposition box (and he should have received a cutback from Bez across goal), I think he’ll be a goal threat for us.

Richard or Richardina, the names chose themselves I suppose @Glenactico ?
Good luck and best wishes!

Obviously The King. But I did think Udoh was terrific tonight, hassled their back line constantly while he was on. Humphreys is also some player.
Skura for a young player plays with such confidence and assurance.

Not really related to the game but an older chap on the terrace waited to find me at the end to wish me luck with the new baby we're expecting soon. Overheard me talking about it on Saturday. Lovely gesture. I've never met them before but it was such a nice thing to hear.
Probably not on the GR. But if you are then thanks for the words of support!

From the Luton forum - I'd advise reading this imagining a child pressing their nose up against a shop window, looking longingly at something they can't have:
Re: Match Day Thread: Barnsley
He does absolutely brilliantly. At that point in the game the calmness to slow it down just enough for us to get men in the box, beat his man and then drop a perfect cross onto the striker's head is superb.
One of the best signings of recent times. He has been fantastic and consistently delivers what's needed in big moments. At 37 he's still having a massive impact on games and looks as fit as ever. Genuinely inspiring.
