Luton were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom side Port Vale during their League One clash at Vale Park on Saturday.
The Hatters had led through Nahki Wells’ sixth goal of the campaign, but were pegged back when Ben Waine went clean through to score and to find out how the Town players rated on the afternoon, see below.
1. Josh Keeley: 7.5
Had work to do early on when he gathered an easy shot from Hall, while won a free kick when being bundled over after attempting to shepherd the ball over the line. Left exposed again when Waine was left unmarked to slice through the visitors' defence to make it 1-1 as his search for another clean sheet on the road continues. After the break, it was the Irishman who made sure Town were able to come away from Vale Park with a point, as he brilliantly turned over Stockley's header, also watching carefully when another attempt didn't bounce as he might have expected. Held back his best for last when diving to his right to palm away from Sherif with time running out. Photo: HJT.Photos
2. Izzy Jones: 5
Started as the right wingback once more but it was a testing afternoon for the winger, particularly on a terrible playing surface that had cut up badly and made any attempts to run at his man on a regular basis incredibly difficult. As most of Luton's best play came on the left hand side during the first period, then he was never able to fully have the impact he wanted, particularly second half when Town needed to do much, much more in an attacking sense, eventually making way for Morris with 10 to go.

3. Nigel Lonwijk: 6.5
Came back into the side with injuries to Mengi and Andersen, the on-loan defender made an excellent block from Walters when the midfielder shot for goal in a lively opening to proceedings as the action was fast-paced. Got up well to head goalwards from Naismith's back post delivery, only to be denied from making it 2-0 by a fine stop from Gauci, but from the restart, wasn't able to keep an eye on Waine who sliced through Luton's back three to draw the hosts levelled. Did position himself well after the break to clear his lines, something he did throughout the contest pretty well, also performing admirably aerially, before going off for Odoffin late on.

4. Kal Naismith: 6
Took up a good position at the far post and volleyed a cross back into the mix for Lonwiik to head goalwards, with Gauci making a decent save to deny the Hatters from making it 2-0. Also went close himself too when getting on the end of Saville's corner as he saw it fly narrowly over the bar, but was left disappointed as Vale then went straight up the other end to draw themselves level just as it looked Luton were building up a good head of steam. Was defensively sound as he made plenty of clearances and stood up well to the aerial bombardment, but his own long balls weren't the most accurate and late on there were too many sideways passes once more.
