'Edwards doesn't want to shake it up too much'
- Published
In the latest episode of Luton in the Prem, Luke Ashmead, Geoff Doyle and Simon Oxley preview the Hatters' upcoming Premier League encounter with Burnley and look back at the 0-0 draw with Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup Third Round.
Doyle is surprised that Ryan Giles, Luton's record signing, did not play against Bolton on Sunday, after not featuring regularly for the Hatters in the league either.
"He is not getting in the Premier League side and we know why," he said.
"Because Alfie Doughty is playing extraordinarily well and even when Doughty is moved across to the right, Giles hasn't got in. Jacob Brown, for instance or Ogbene [has played instead].
"He was a big signing in the summer and he probably thought 'Premier League, here I come'. But if he is not getting into the FA Cup team, what team is he getting in? Maybe the manager doesn't think he is ready yet for the Premier League. I am sure he will be and he is still a young player who has maybe not developed as much as he liked, so what is his future?
"I only picked on Giles because of the money involved. You could add Luke Berry to that, you could add Cauley Woodrow to that and Pelly Ruddock-Mpanzu to that. But what was interesting with Rob [Edwards] when we spoke to him in the press conference is that he doesn't want to shake it up too much."
