Luton hit back from their terrible outing at Lincoln City last weekend to defeat Doncaster Rovers 1-0 at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.
The Hatters scored what turned out to be the winner on 40 minutes through Kal Naismith’s close range header, and to find out how the Town players rated on the afternoon, see below.
9. Zack Nelson: 7.5
Midfielder showed just how much he is trusted by Bloomfield as he began for the fourth league fixture in a row, playing in the central midfield role that was just behind Wells. Demonstrated some excellent touches on the ball, speeding away to find Wells for one early cross, while he was involved in the penalty, showing some tricky footwork and good vision to find Saville. Harshly adjudged to have handballed a late blast in the first half, after Pearson escaped punishment for a similar incident, as he had the best passing accuracy from any Town starter, only making way in the final minute.

10. Milli Alli: 7
Had a few good bursts forward although most of Luton's best attacking forays came down their right-hand side especially in the first half. Released from his wingback duties, he was able to spend a far greater amount of time in the opposition's half, almost getting in for an opportunity when Wells cut the ball back from the byline. As he always does, tried his luck from range on more than one occasion without the desired outcome, while didn't quite commit to one sprint upfield, as he lost not only his footing but the ball as well. Replaced as part of a triple change on 74 minutes. Photo: David Horn
11. Nahki Wells: 7.5
Experienced forward was asked to play as the lone striker on this occasion with Yates out due to concussion and Bloomfield changed things up formation-wise. Showed his pace and willingness to stretch the defence as he sent over one cross that saw Fanne's volley saved, as a good spin inside the box led to the penalty when he had his heels clipped. Confidence high from scoring his last attempt, it was a decent effort, only for Lawlor to pull off an excellent save. Didn't feature as much after the break with Luton not quite displaying the attacking intent they had in the opening 45 minutes, but a decent shift nonetheless until being substituted.

12. Gideon Kodua (SUB): 7
Having been dropped from the squad at Lincoln last weekend, he was back on the bench this time, and called on early in the second half for Morris who had run his race. Had a few forays into enemy territory, but with Town finally coming under some pressure during the closing stages, he was able to help win the ball back and then sprint it away from danger.
