Luton boss Mike Newell: “The form hasn't been patchy; the results have been poor, but they're two very different things entirely.

 

“We're happy with the way they're playing, but there will be occasions when you don't win games.

 

“If you went away from home every week and won every game there would be no fun in it.

 

“We're happy with the way they're playing and the effort they're putting in, but not with the results."

 

“There's no injuries from the Brighton game and we've got a full squad with the exception of Sol Davis and hopefully he'll be back in a couple of weeks.
