Luton slumped to a hugely disappointing 3-1 defeat at Lincoln City on Saturday.
After a woeful first half saw the Hatters trailing 1-0 to Ben House’s goal, it looked like they might escape with a draw once Jordan Clark equalised on 77 minutes. However, Town’s defence fell apart in the final five minutes, Justin Obikwu and House on target to seal victory. To find out how the visitors’ players rated on the afternoon, see below.
5. Kal Naismith: 3
Experienced summer signing was one of three changes made by Bloomfield for the contest as he came in to play on the left hand side of the back three. The continued mix and match nature of Town's defence was highlighted once more though as they were cut apart with such ease time and time again in the first period, none more so than when House raced straight through the middle to open the scoring. Carried on in the second half, but you could see his disappointment with his own efforts when being substituted midway through. Photo: David Horn
6. Milli Alli: 4
When his attempted cross rather comically hit his standing foot, it summed up Luton's efforts in the opening 30 minutes of the first half. Once Town did finally start to work their way into proceedings, then he had some positive forays on the left which led to a cross being stood up and Wells shooting wide. After the break, he did get into the game more, as his astute pass into Clark saw the midfielder make it 1-1. Had a go on his left foot which he dragged wide, but didn't compete for Wickens' clearance that allowed Obikwu to get clear for the Imps' crucial second. As long as he stays in the wingback role, it will lead to formation questions for Bloomfield to answer. Photo: David Horn
7. George Saville: 3.5
Unusually poor outing from the midfielder who has impressed since his summer switch to Bedfordshire, as he wasn't his tigerish self in the middle of the pitch, Lincoln finding it far too easy to boss the midfield areas. Wasn't switched on enough as Lincoln broke the deadlock, the Imps finding a huge gap to send House through, as things didn't get much better from then on. Set-pieces weren't as good as they have been either, one free kick before the break not even beating the first man. Booked as well for bringing his man down, as Town just couldn't get the grips with their opposition on what was an extremely bad day for the visitors. Photo: David Horn
8. Zack Nelson: 4
With Luton very much second best, his impact on the occasion was severely limited, especially in the first half as the Hatters just couldn't get going, on the back foot for the opening 30 minutes, a far more aggressive Imps side easily bullying their opponents. When Luton did have their best moments, which were few and far between, he played some neat passes, but it wasn't good enough from anyone in green, as the youngster was replaced as part of a double switch on 65 minutes.
