Luton Town were held to a 1-1 draw by Leyton Orient in their League One clash at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.
The hosts had led through Jamie Donley’s first goal for the club midway through the first period, only to see Jaze Kabia’s equaliser 10 minutes before half time. To find out how the Hatters players rated on the day, see below.
1. Josh Keeley: 7
Wasn't seeing much action at all in the opening half an hour as the Hatters were dominating proceedings, only to then concede when Orient had their first shot on target, given little chance by big money summer signing Kabia's effort that flew in. That led to the visitors exerting some pressure in the latter stages of the first half, Mitchell shooting over, before the Irish international made an excellent save just before the break when El Mizouni left free in the area from a short corner routine, as he did superbly to stick out a right hand and divert away. Little to do after the break as well, although the O's did have one sight of goal late on, as he comfortably gathered Dobra's speculative attempt. Photo: Duncan Jack
2. Harrison Ashby: 6.5
Having excelled against Stockport County in midweek, there was a sense of excitement as he kept his place in the right wingback berth, particularly as Luton started the contest so impressively. One good advance saw him get into the area only to lose his footing, before a real blow on 21 minutes when he pulled in the corner of the pitch as Town defended a throw-in and went down requiring treatment, eventually hobbling off to join the Hatters' lengthy injury list with a groin problem.

3. Hakeem Odoffin: 7
After a comfortable opening half an hour, the centre half wasn't able to clear his lines on the right hand side, which allowed Orient to get the ball forward and find an equaliser out of nothing to make it 1-1. Looked like he was then going to put the Hatters back in front when meeting Donley's corner, only to see his header hit the inside of the post and Kodua's rebound blocked. Defensively sound afterwards, particularly in the air once more, he was handed the captain's armband when Wells and Walsh were off in the second period. Continued to be a threat in the opposition area, having one shot blocked, and another deflecting through to the keeper as Town couldn't make their dominance count. Photo: Duncan Jack
4. Mads Andersen: 6
Some good passes out of defence early on, he then had to do so much better when the ball was played forward with 36 minutes gone, trying to let it run through and find a way back to Keeley, only to see Kabia beat him to it. From that moment, he needed to either show him down the line or get a tackle in, but did neither, as the ex-Grimsby man made the most of his hesitancy, able to power his effort past Keeley. From there, he did tighten up, as Orient didn't really threaten again, often getting first contact when the visitors went long. Could have been slightly quicker with his passing when time started to run out, as Luton couldn't find that grandstand finish they were after. Photo: Duncan Jack
