Luton Town manager Nathan Jones has quipped he doesn’t care if he never speaks to Kal Naismith again, as long as the Hatters can beat Bristol City at Ashton Gate tonight.
Naismith’s bitter departure from Kenilworth Road at the end of last session is an overriding narrative of the contest in BS3 with Luton twice complaining about the Robins conduct, claiming they didn’t know their Player of the Year had decided to leave Luton for Bristol until he was unveiled in a City shirt.
It’s provided some added needle to the encounter, although Naismith has spoken warmly of his time with the Hatters in which he was successfully developed into one of the best centre-backs in the Championship on Nathan Jones’ watch.
