Frustrated Luton boss Mick Harford believes the Hatters may well be glad of the 'big point' they earned from today's 1-1 draw with Notts County today.

And he has laid down the gauntlet for his played to win in the West County next weekend.

He said: "It's frustrating but there's things to work on. I think that will be a big point at the end of the season.

"We will have to go to Exeter and win – that's what I've told the players. It's three games undefeated."

On the game, Harford said: "We are going to have to learn to break teams down when they get bodies behind the ball and sit in and make it difficult for us.

"We need to learn to defend a bit better on the counter-attack.

"It was galling to get in the lead and give a stupid penalty away."

However, Harford says Sam Parkin has held his hands up to the handball which cost Luton the penalty.

Harford said: "He has apologised. You do things like that and why you try and get to the ball."

The Luton boss admitted he was concerned that his side had yet to win a home league game this term, but it could have been very different if Parkin had taken a late chance to give the Hatters victory.

Harford said: "He was bandaged up and he said it got in his eye and maybe that's partly to do with it."

However, he was full of praise for goalscorer Chris Martin.

Harford added: "He deserves a goal. He has, in my opinion, been outstanding since he's been at the football club. He looks like he will score goals and he is a Mark Hughes type of play with the way he holds the ball up. Hopefully he will carry on scoring more."
