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.
9. Jamie Donley: 8
Started his third game in succession, showing some moments of real class, always looking to get his shots off, unleashing one volley from outside the box that wasn't too far away early on. Displayed great commitment to help out his defence when Orient broke, in the right place to cut out a low cross. Brilliant first touch to shift Kodua's pass on to his left foot and catch out Baxter at his near post, scoring against his former side to net his first Town goal. Slipped in Wells for a chance that he scuffed, and almost grabbed a second, denied by a fine stop from the keeper. Attacking intent impressed until he unsurprisingly tired somewhat, taken off just after the hour mark for Palmer. Photo: Duncan Jack
10. Gideon Kodua (STAR MAN): 8.5
Had his opportunity in the central role that Wilshere has been wanting to play him in, named as one of the 10s from the start and demonstrated that is clearly his position. Adept at dropping slightly deeper, receiving possession and turning his man to sprint forward, behind pretty much all of Luton’s attacking thrust in the first half, and second for that matter. Found Donley to put Luton ahead and should have had a hat-trick of assists, sending Wells away twice for excellent chances. One 20-yarder saved, he couldn't believe he didn't net from close range when Odoffin's header hit the post, denied by a last-gasp block. Was on it in the second period too, as his display gives Town's boss a real selection poser now. Photo: Duncan Jack
11. Nahki Wells: 6.5
Might have had a hat-trick on another day as he was found early on by Johnston's raking pass, only to see his first touch make the angle tighter than he might have wanted, Olowu getting back to clear away. Released once more when Kodua found his run, firing a shot off this time, which was blocked away, then put through by Donley, only to scuff his attempt straight at Baxter. Just moments into the second half, he went close again, latching on to Kodua's pass as he couldn't beat the visiting keeper yet again, as his run of scoring in three successive league games was ended. Used his body well when being brought down for a free kick, he was then substituted for Marshall on the hour. Photo: Duncan Jack
12. Harry Fox (SUB): 6.5
Brought on for his Football League debut earlier than he might have expected when Ashby was taken off injured on 21 minutes, as he was deployed in the left wingback role, not a position he is accustomed to, more a full back or a midfielder. Understandably took a while to get into the fixture, his passing not quite as accurate as he would have wanted, while didn't always possess the confidence to throw caution to the wind in the second period when the Hatters were searching for a winner. Still, a huge plus for the academy as they are now beginning to bring several players through for the first team. Photo: Duncan Jack
