Still confirms it was tough for transfer-listed quartet at Southport

Simon Ainge is one of the four who have been listed by Luton

Hatters boss John Still admitted it had been hard for the transfer listed players to take to the field against Southport on Saturday, writes Mike Simmonds.

Lathaniel Rowe-Turner started the 3-1 victory at Southport on Saturday and was replaced in the second half by Simon Ainge.

Scott Rendell, Town’s hero against Norwich City, was on the bench too as was goalkeeper Dean Brill and on selecting the players he was looking to offload, Still added: “Whoever’s here at the football club you can’t ignore, that’s not right.

“They’re contracted players, we had positions to fill and we’ve got to fill them.

“So I wouldn’t treat players disrespectfully, it’s not the right thing.

“It was hard for them, of course it is. If I’d have asked them, I didn’t ask, but I think they’d have wanted to play because it’s also a shop window as well.

“People were here for whatever reason, they do okay and then they go away and think he’s available and did okay.”
