HARFORD: WE HAVE OUR PART TO PLAY

Posted on: Mon 20 Apr 2009

Hatters manager Mick Harford will be without captain Kevin Nicholls for tomorrow's clash with Wycombe Wanderers at Kenilworth Road.

The Town skipper was sent-off at Barnet in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Underhill for picking up two yellow cards, the second following an off-the-ball altercation the manager described as "nothing."

However, as one man starts a suspension, another player's ban finishes, as leading goalscorer Chris Martin returns after missing the matches with Chesterfield and Barnet.

Harford is also confident about the chances of Lewis Emanuel and Kevin Gallen playing a role in tomorrow's game as both players return to fitness following knee and hamstring injuries respectively.

He said: "Both Lewis and Kevin will come back into the squad. They've been training for the last two-to-three days and will be in contention to play apart in the Wycombe game."

With the Town's final three matches against sides in League 2's top six, Harford wants his side to continue their four match unbeaten run while at the same time have their say in the promotion shake-up.

He said: "We have our part to play in who goes up and who doesn't with three games against sides challenging for promotion out of the division.

"It won't be easy against any of them but we are more than capable of doing so, while at the same time continuing our own unbeaten run.

"We want to end the season on a high so and to do so against three good teams challenging for promotion would be very rewarding."

Harford was keen to point out to other teams involved in the promotion race that the Hatters will not be resting on their laurels despite having nothing to play for following their relegation.

"We are professional sportsmen and we have a duty to perform and to perform honestly," he said.

"We want to win as many matches as possible between now and the end of the season and finish on a high note."

The manager was happy to see the return to action of Martin, Gallen and Emanuel for the remaining three games.

He said: "All season we have had to put up with injuries and suspensions and it is good they are able to return and come into contention for tomorrow's game."
