City’s loan star leaves Luton boss drooling
LUTON Town manager Nathan Jones was almost lost for words as he tried to sum up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s performance against Birmingham City on Tuesday, writes Mark Whiley.
The Leicester City midfielder, who is on a season-long loan, turned in another man of the match display as the Hatters drew 1-1 with the Blues in the Championship.
Luton fans were raving about the 22-year-old, below, after the game, and manager Jones was just as impressed.
“I don’t really want to comment if I’m honest, as unless you’re blind, no words I can say will do anything,” said Jones.
“The lad’s pure class, he was outstanding. That’s as good a midfield performance as I’ve seen at this football club and to be fair I’ve seen some very good ones as we’ve been dominant here for a long, long time.”
On the praise from his manager, Dewsbury-Hall said: “That’s really good to hear.
“Obviously as a player you want to impress the manager as much as possible because he is the person that is picking the team.
“It shows that when he has belief in you, it gives you so much confidence going into every game because you’ve got the coaches backing you, got the players respect and it allows you to express yourself.
“Everyone knows that in football, confidence is a massive thing so when your confidence is high, that’s when you play your best stuff.
“As I said, our confidence is really high at the moment and maybe we’re just not getting the rub of the green with one or two things.
“When that clicks we will be really happy and we’re be up there.”
Luton, who are ninth in the Championship, travel to Cardiff City on Saturday.
