Still was realistic about the weekend’s performance and will be demanding more ahead of Saturday’s game with Oxford on home soil; the Hatters 11/8 favourites with BetVictor, Oxford 23/10 and the draw 12/5.

The visitors have been similarly well-backed amongst punters during the summer and are now 8/13 to be promoted after following-up the weekend’s 1-1 draw with Crawley by stunning Brentford 4-0 in the Capital One Cup midweek, which was incidentally the biggest away win in League Cup history by a fourth tier side against a side from the top two divisions.

The scenes of celebrations at Griffin Park midweek could lead to a hangover at Kenilworth Road and Luton should be able to use the momentum gained midweek to score at the first time of asking in front of their home faithful.
