Orient V Luton

[Wimbo]

It's off to the Orient on Saturday for a game where we should have a very decent number of travelling Hatters with all 1371 tickets sold. By the time you have added those with tickets in the home end, there should comfortably be more than 1400 Luton supporters in the ground.

Last season game was a really memorable one with tremendous fighting spirit displayed to defend a one-goal lead given by a Jack Marriott goal. Anybody attending last year will have been impressed by Jonathan Mitchell's first game for Luton as he made some great stops particularly in commanding the area,something that our great shot stopper Mark Tyler never managed to do. In fact, Mitchell during one of his "leaving the line charges", managed to flatten an Orient striker; frightening stuff for a striker to face.

For this season's game, we will be without our ferocious holding midfield player Olly Lee who is serving a suspension for picking up his 5th yellow of the season.

As ever, I am really looking forward to the game and a couple of pre-match ales with fellow Hatters fans; hope to see you in the pub.

I know that Hlyton did serve a one match ban for two yellows, but "mild man" Olly Lee reached five yellows and a ban before the "brutish" Hylton!! Ironic smily face thingy.

What a lovely day out and in the company of a good group of foolish folk enjoying a pint in the super King William IV (reminder just click/double click on the thumbnail photo to get the complete picture):

I have produced my usual match waffle on whittlerhatter.weebly.com
A touch long winded to post here: a brilliant day out and I now really looking forward to Nottingham in a couple of weeks time.

Enjoyed your report Bill - although I was sitting opposite ast the Os, I saw exactly the same game as you!
Gillead has to start for me and I think he will from now on.
Was great to meet up in such convivial surroundings and v much enjoyed a long chat with Curlz.
Results suggest that there's going to be stiff competition for the top 3 places and NJ is going to have work hard to keep a relatively large squad fully engaged for the campaign.
Although McG played better, I would really like to see him on the bench next week, think it will send the right message.
