Town manager Jim Magilton: "We played well at Preston without getting that break and if we show the same desire at Luton then we will be okay, we've got a two week gap now before our next game and it's important that we go into that period on a winning note so we will go out all guns blazing.

 

“Luton will be fired up and they know they have to start winning games and will look to do that against us with home advantage but they will remember that we played very well in putting five past them at our place.”
