Luton suffered yet another woeful defeat on Tuesday night as they were beaten 3-1 by League Two side Cambridge United in their Vertu Trophy group stage clash.
The Hatters had led through Mads Andersen’s close-range finish, only for Glenn McConnell to make it 1-1, as a second half double from Elias Kachungand won it for the U’s. To find out how Town’s players rated on the evening, see below.
13. Jerry Yates (SUB): 3
Forward had recovered from the concussion he suffered at Lincoln City to be on the bench, as he came on looking to get Town back into the contest and double his tally in the competition for the club. That never looked like happening though as he was too often out wide which meant he wasn't in the box when the crosses came in, as tried to help create a leveller himself, only to cut it back behind his team-mates.

14. Jake Richards (SUB): 4
Retained in the squad for the game as he continues to get chances to impress, although it was a tough evening, coming off the bench with half an hour to go and Luton turning in a bitterly poor performance. Tried to get the ball on his left foot and create something, but his balls into the box were often allowed to run out by the hosts' defence. Photo: David Horn
15. Gideon Kodua (SUB): 4
On with 73 minutes gone as he looked to get wide on the right and put some good deliveries into the danger zone, but more often than not, it was a Cambridge head that was able to make first contact and clear away. Photo: David Horn
16. Joe Gbode (SUB): N/A
With so many crosses coming into the box from the visitors then it might have been worth either starting with the recent signing or get him onto the field earlier than the four minutes of normal time he was allowed. Did finally win one delivery though, his tame header bouncing through to Hughes. Photo: David Horn
