It’s not so much payback but we were very disappointed with our performance at Luton, we underachieved, underperformed and we did ourselves no justice whatsoever. It is very important this weekend that we come out and we do ourselves justice, that we perform the way that we can and hopefully that will be good enough to pick up three points.
Confidence has been high from day one, through the draws and the bits and pieces like that confidence has never been a problem. We’ve got a bunch of players working very hard, on a good run and it’s important that we try and keep the run moving along. There are no easy games and this is a difficult match once again, they are a good side that have done very well this season so we have just got to make sure from our end that we go and we achieve and we perform and we keep it moving along.
Not just up front but in centre of defence as well, we have got Claude Davis coming back, in the centre of the park we have got Stocky coming back and Simon Whaley so there are great options all over the pitch which is very important. The only disappointment that we have is that Callum Davidson and Graham Alexander who are both struggling, Callum with a thigh strain and Graham with this hamstring problem. I’ve also decided to let young Joe Anyinsah out on loan for the month to try and get him 90 minutes of football for the latter part of the season when he comes back.
We are still touch and go, we don’t know, at the moment he is looking very doubtful. We will give him up until the last minute until we get a decision.
It has been going on for a couple of months, the situation is clear, Nuge’ has joined this club and has done brilliantly since he came in, he was very unfortunate at the start of the season to be missing for such a long period with the illness, he has now fought himself back but I don’t think he will be back to his best until he gets a pre-season under his belt. It’s great to have him in the squad and thoroughly deserves the rewards for what he has achieved because of the way he has gone about it and what he was contributed so it is a nice little reward for him.
We have done that over the past couple of weeks, we have talked to Callum Davidson and Claude Davis, there wasn’t just interest in Nugent there was interest from many other clubs for many other players. We have been speaking about the Nugent thing for a number of months and it is not time to sit down and reward the lad for what he has done since he came to the club.
Hopefully we can get it done this afternoon, the intention is there, we are very keen to do it, we recognise that the contribution that he has made has been very good and he has certainly made great progress since he has been here. We just feel it is necessary and it something that he deserves
