Luton - Jordan Clark Horror Collision

A defeat is a defeat, no matter how you dress it up, but my over-riding memory of yesterday will be the awful moment when Jordan Clark was injured.

Around the hour mark, Jordan bravely challenged for an aerial ball with the West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper, Sam Johnstone, doing likewise.

What followed was a sickening collision that left Jordan flat-out, apparently unconscious.

For a full ten minutes we all held our breath hoping all was well, Johnstone, looking on, looked distraught at what had happened as a stretcher carried Jordan away.

Thankfully, after the game, Nathan Jones confirmed that Jordan was conscious when he was stretchered off the pitch and that he was being looked after by the Hatters medical staff.

Looking at the social media posts, relating to the incident, it is heart-warming to find several from West Bromwich supporters wishing Jordan a speedy recovery, as those listed below show:

Hope he is ok but mate both players eyes were on the ball it was just very unfortunate

Speedy recovery Jordan, see you in the away game 💪

I am sure you will all join me in wishing Jordan a speedy recovery although protocol will, no doubt, prevent him from playing against Barnsley on Tuesday evening.

Get well soon Jordan, you are an integral part of our starting XI and you will be missed.
