    Proper body on the line, a wall of a centre back performance and an assist v the Netherlands.

    How nice it is to see one of our players not only being at the Euros but contributing on a major scale. The red card was correctly applied and so the Dutch have no right to claim an injustice and who knows where the score may have been with equal numbers on the pitch. Congratulations to Tomas and his team mates for an historic victory and the commentary said it all when he praised the the Czech Republic by saying their performance was done without egos involved. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    To be honest I would be amazed if we don't receive offers for Kalas, he has been outstanding, my postie is a Spurs fan, I bet he still looking for Harry Kane who is still Tamas's back pocket.

    Also Nagy has put himself out there as well with his performances.

    As did Joe Morrell, highlighting what a poor decision it was to sell him and keep Walsh….

    The same Morrell that can't get into Luton's team and already looking for a transfer away with Portsmouth looking his likely destination and the final indignity he has been replaced by the even more useless Henri Lansbury.

    That doesn't detract from the fact Morell had a good tournament against players of a higher calibre than in the Championship. I have no idea why Luton paid £1m for him, then don't use him. Maybe he's seen as too lightweight in the middle? He deserves better than the 3rd division, surely? Nagy also played second fiddle to Lansbury this season at times.

    I like Kalas, but his performances last season (in the 20 or so games I saw), I was actually quite underwhelmed with him. He had some stonkers, and some stinkers. Get his consistency right and he will play at the highest level. For me, that's the only thing holding him back.

    He deserves to play at a level that he is competent at to earn his bread and butter, most of the season Luton were in relegation trouble and he still couldn't get into the team, it is wrong to say getting rid of him was a mistake.

    You could say the same for Nagy, He couldn't get in the side a lot either, yet you think he will attract offers, but basically, you're saying Morell is rubbish? Remember Luton comfortably finished above us... I said at the time I would rather have kept Morell and sold Walsh to Coventry, but DH saw it differently.

    I don't know what you were watching, I really don't. I think I am right in saying he was either 1st or 2nd in blocks in the championship for the season, he was forced most of the season to play as a left sided centre back because there was no alternative available + he was playing behind the worst midfield in the league a midfield who offered absolutely zero cover for most games.

    His only fault IMHO is he not a captain (which is not his fault) he is far too quiet, he is a leader by virtue of almost fearless almost reckless lack of regard for his personal safety, but we need a leader who is far more vocal and an organiser.

    I am not saying any of those things (please don't make it up) Nagy was injured for quite sometime and IMHO probably not fully committed to us, I suspect if he does attract offers it will be away from the UK, which it seems is where he would like to be, Nagy has been far too inconsistent for us.
    As for your comment about Morrell and Walsh, firstly Morrell wanted first team football to enhance his international chances, yes in hindsight it was a mistake letting him leave when we did, as it was with allowing Pring (our only fit left back to go out on loan) especially given that Walsh was seriously injured and just a guess here but I doubt Coventry would have signed a seriously injured player, that is something that we did with Joe Williams + allowing Pring out on loan, hopefully things have changed and normal service resumed as a professional football club.

    I don't think that Tomas was 100% fit for most of the season.
    The injury crisis probably meant he played at times when he shouldn't have

    I saw upwards of 30 games last season and I disagree. A large majority of which he was our 1 man army amongst the dross playing with him.
    Kalas is a lower end Premiership central defender.
    Playing at the highest level ?
    It doesn't get much higher than playing for your Country in the Euro knockout games.
