Luton suffered a first League One defeat of the season on Saturday as they were beaten 2-1 by Bradford City.
The Bantams led through goals from Stephen Humphrys and Bobby Pointon, as although Gideon Kodua pulled one back, Town weren’t able to grab a point. To find out how the Hatters rated on the afternoon, see below.
9. Jordan Clark: 5
Found it an increasingly frustrating afternoon as the midfielder. who was playing in the wide left attacking role, didn't really see things come off as he, like the rest of the visitors., struggled to create anything of note for the opening 70 minutes. Had some forays in the first period that didn't lead to much, but was caught on the ball early in the second half which led to Bradford moving 2-0 in front. Almost slid Yates through as Luton searched for a way back, although did combine well with Bramall to help Town pull one back, his backheel taken on by the wingback for Kodua to score.

The midfielder was given his first league start of the season after impressing in a similar role just behind striker Yates during the midweek Carabao Cup exit at Coventry City. Had the odd bright spark during the first period when he was able to fashion a shooting opportunity that was well charged down by the Bantams' defence. Couldn't have the same kind of impact as he had against the Sky Blues, making way with 66 minutes on the clock. Photo: Liam Smith
11. Jerry Yates: 5
Forward started upfront by himself in an attempt to build his minutes up and was able to get through the full 90 for the first time in a Luton shirt. It was a frustrating afternoon though as he lacked any real service, and when it did arrive, Kodua and McGuinness sending in terrific crosses from the right, didn't anticipate them in time, caught on his heels as they flew across goal. Seemed more comfortable when Nordas was alongside him during the second half, as that's something Bloomfield will most definitely look at going forward. Photo: Liam Smith
12. Gideon Kodua (SUB, STAR MAN): 7
Brought on midway through the first half after Alli had been booked and was walking a disciplinary tightrope. Moved out to the right wingback berth and showed further evidence that he could answer Luton's issues out there with some good moments. Sent in one cross that just evaded Yates and had another effort of his own which flew well over the bar. Timed his run and leap perfectly to reach Bramall's cross and send his towering beyond Walker and into the bottom corner to open his account for the Hatters, but it turned out to be too little too late.
