Consistent performer at Championship level, just needs to add a few more goals and assists. 

Congratulations on the the new deal, Harry!

Good business for both parties. Harry is a decent Championship full back and very rarely lets us down. We just need some real competition for him now.

The medium term future of the club appears to be getting sorted. I believe that’s both keepers and our back line now all contracted to at least 2025, some on deals up to 2027 

Tronstad is here until ‘26, Szmodics ‘27, Wharton has an option until ‘25 but it would be nice to get him tied down too, Travis ‘26

It’s looking a lot better than in the contract department since Broughton came. Now he just needs to try and find a striker……

A deal that makes sense, probably a very easy one to do too. Hes one of a small amount of solid Championship players we have left after the budget cuts. I dont think he has the capability to ever move a division up but hes certainly a reliable player in the Championship.

Since he joined, he has been everything that Bell wasnt. He can handle the ball, technically good, reliable, reads the game well, consistent and intelligent. His obvious weakness is he is very slow, often his positioning protects him defensively but it has been known that a quick winger can run him ragged.

Yet Bell started in the Prem v Arsenal the other night. Funny old world.

Every time I have seen Bell for Luton he has been just like he was here. Maybe suits him playing for a team that has no interest in keeping the ball though.

Like Jason Steele I think Bell is just a player who is actually quite a lot better than the fans (including me) thought.

We can't be right every time.

Given that they are in the premier league maybe it's the keep ball tactics of the manager that were the problem.

I like him and glad he'll be sticking around.

Has improved under JDT and is a solid member of the squad, also able to cover at CB.

Not brilliant, not the best we might have and certainly not Premier League - I was at Stamford Bridge when he was given the run-around by Raheem Sterling, - but a solid player who rarely lets us down. Pleased he's staying

But we aren't very often wrong either and both those we watched for several years and both got worse here rather than better. If they were any good here there'd have been a nice fat fee for both.

He definitely is a solid member of the squad, rather he stuck around.

But certainly never at CB. I know hes done the odd 20 minutes notably at Norwich but hes never a centre back and youd never want him starting a game there.

Hes our only left back so we cant afford to move him anyway.

Both Adam and Scott Wharton have contracts until 2027, both signed under Broughtons watch

The game they conceded 4 in?

Bell handled Saka very well and my recollection is none of the 4 goals came through his part of the pitch.
