Luton were beaten 2-1 in their last 16 Vertu Trophy clash against Swindon Town at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night.
The Hatters had led through Jerry Yates’ penalty, only to see goals from Will Wright and Filozofe Mabete send the visitors through. To find out how Town’s players rated on the evening, see below.
5. Nigel Lonwijk: 6
Back in the centre of defence alongside Makosso, as he was kept on his toes by his team-mate at times, making a good early clearance that sent Morris away. Looked to bring the ball out from the back when possible, with a number of good passes into the final third which helped Town have most of the possession in the first period. Had some good opportunities to make it 2-0, well positioned to reach a few Saville corners, mistiming his jumps to make no contact with one, and then put another wide of the target at the back post. Unable to reach quickly enough to stop Mabete tapping in from Shea's mistake, although did get a good block on Olakbeje's drive after Luton had fallen 2-1 behind. Photo: Andy Fitzsimons
6. George Saville: 6
Having been on the bench for four of the last five games, the experienced midfielder was back in the holding role as Wilshere rotated completely with seven changes in total. Took some dangerous inswinging corners in the first half, one of his deliveries headed wide by Lonwijk at the back post. Part of some slick moves through the middle as Luton had their opponents on the back foot, while during the second period, he started off by sliding in some incisive passes for Lawrence on the left which didn't quite lead to a goal. Although he might not have moved it quite as quickly as some fans wanted late on, he still finished with a 96% success rate during his time on the field. Photo: David Horn
7. Lamine Fanne: 5.5
Having gone off at half time at the weekend, then he was one of four players to keep their place, breaking into the box well at times during the first half, but wasn't able to have the desired end result, getting his headers wrong on both occasions, one wide and another landing on the roof of the net. Had the odd foray when Luton worked the ball centrally, also covering well when Makosso gave the ball away, making an important sliding challenge. After the break, he looked destined to make it 2-1 early on when Lawrence's cross rebounded only for a defender to throw himself in the way of his fierce drive. Taken off with 20 minutes left to save his legs for Lincoln's visit on Saturday. Photo: David Horn
8. Zack Nelson: 5.5
Given another opportunity to try and stake a claim for a place in Wilshere's league XI, but couldn't quite grasp it with both hands, as although his passing was incredible accurate throughout the night, with just over a 90 percent success rate, creating three chances as well, he never really stamped his authority on the contest against League Two opposition, outmuscled off the ball on occasion too.
