Luton slumped to yet another disappointing defeat on Friday night as they lost 2-1 to QPR at Kenilworth Road.
The Hatters had led 1-0 thanks to Jimmy Dunne’s own goal on 18 minutes, only to concede twice in quick succession after the break, Nicholas Madsen and Michael Frey on target. To find out how the Town players rated on the evening, see below.
9. Tahith Chong: 6.5
Managed to keep on the right side of the officials after picking up a booking inside two minutes for deliberate handball when he tried to buy a cheap free kick. After Town got things going, he linked well with the overlapping Doughty, often picking out his team-mate as the pair's forays on the left were the main threats in the first half. Found Clark for an effort that was saved, but once Luton had let their hard work slip away, he was replaced once more for the final 15 minutes. Photo: David Horn
10. Elijah Adebayo: 6
Just couldn't reach Doughty’s cross that whistled across the goalmouth in the first half while he then saw another effort cannon off a defender and go just wide of the target as Luton looked to build on their opening strike. Had the best chance early in the second period, as he simply had to score when sent clean through by Baptiste, but with Nardi rushing out, shot low rather than go for a dinked finish, hitting the keeper. With his wait to get off the mark this term continuing, Rangers took full advantage to steal the points. Photo: David Horn
11. Carlton Morris: 5
The effort is there, but it's just not coming off as the skipper would want, his frustrating start to the season continuing. Struggled to hold the ball up as it bounced off him at times, with his attempts to link up play were more often than not cut out. Finding it tough in the area as well, taking a heavy touch when Walters fortunately found him, the chance going begging. Once Town had gifted the lead to their visitors, he almost snatched a point only to find Nardi in unbeatable form, with his header back to Taylor also glanced over. Photo: David Horn
12. Teden Mengi (SUB): 6
Ende the recent and prolonged speculation about him leaving as he was named on the bench for the clash, called on at the break as Burke was withdrawn, earning a fine ovation by Town supporters happy to see him staying put for the time being. Looked like he had the measure of the Rangers forwards in the early stages, but then wasn't strong enough to prevent Frey from finding Madsen to level as Luton's defence didn't cover themselves in glory from the rest of the contest.
