The cup run ends for Luton Town
1‑2 against Manchester United, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

A falling-out at Luton Town
Mykhaylo Mudryk and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Amad falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Both jobs done by Bernardo Oliveira — 6.53
A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 16 actions, 6.53, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Ray Robert’s goal not enough for Luton Town
Ray Robert scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Norwich City, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

George Stokes knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Luton Town, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Mykhaylo Mudryk story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Mykhaylo Mudryk signs something — a contract at Luton Town or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
