LOAN WATCH: Town keeper Isted picks up a clean sheet on his Barnsley debut

Luton keeper Harry Isted kept a clean sheet on his debut for League One Barnsley during their 2-0 win over Cambridge United at the weekend.

The 25-year-old was named in the side as a replacement for number one Brad Collins, who has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a muscle injury.

Max Watters put the hosts ahead, before he was then sent off in first half time stoppage time after elbowing ex-Hatter Lloyd Jones, leaving Barnsley down to 10 men.

After the break, Jordan Williams doubled the lead with a superb volley, Isted called upon late to make an excellent stop from Sam Smith’s bullet header.

Speaking after the game, Isted said: “I didn't have a lot to do to be honest.

"The opposition didn't have a shot on goal in the first half, so credit to the back-line in front of me.

"A bit of long kicking, a save in the second half, that was about it really.

“It’s my job to make saves so when it happened I’m expected to make that save.”

Isted kept his place in goal for the 3-1 win at Port Vale on Tuesday night as well, making a good stop from Funso Ojo late on, as on his chance to play now, the keeper added: “I’ve come in and I get along with all the lads really well, especially the back five.

“It’s easy to communicate and there’s a good understanding there.

“It’s obviously a good opportunity for me to show what I can do.

“I’ve got to take that chance and whatever happens, happens.

“I’ve been on the bench pretty much all season, whether that be at Luton or here.

“That’s the life of a bench keeper, you’ve got to be ready when called upon."
