“I have been leaving players off the bench and I’m leaving some quality out of the team, and that’s what we’ve needed all season.”
“Give us competition for places and I can do something with the team. Walts (Simon Walton) wasn’t happy at not getting straight back into the team, but I thought our players deserved it from their performances against Newport and Morecambe.
“Luton are a good side, you could say they are on a high because a new manager’s come in and had an impact and by all accounts has raised their tempo. They are a fluid team and we had to deal with that.”

He said: “There’s a balance about this time at the moment and although we had to defend, I thought we carried a threat and that was really pleasing.
“We’ve come here with a gameplan and played as we have done the last couple of games: we were aggressive, competitive, we’ve been hard to beat, hard-working. and played a bit of football at times.
“I’m really pleased with the group at the moment. Once we scored it makes you defend a yard or two deeper but I didn’t think they caused us that many threats.
