Luton fell to what was a 10th straight away defeat when beaten 2-1 at QPR on Monday night.
The hosts led through Michael Frey’s goal early on, before Mark McGuinness levelled on the stroke of half time. A freak deflection by Morgan Fox then saw the points remain in West London and to find out how the Hatters’ players rated on the evening, see below.
5. Tom Holmes: 6
Tried to play Frey offside early on but the striker was clearly on, putting his free header too close to Kaminski as despite Luton's apparent aerial strength, even when switching to a back four, the R's attackers won a number of crosses when left unmarked. After Town fell behind, the Hatters' defence struggled to deal with the hosts' movement, lucky to be breached just twice. Was in the right place to top the clearance count for the visitors though and did use the ball well, barely wasting any of his 45 passes. Photo: David Rogers
6. Marvelous Nakamba: 6
Rightfully back in the side following his impressive outing against Norwich City the game before, but couldn't ever have the same impact at Loftus Road as the hosts were able to get the ball wide and do some danger on the flanks. Couldn't always keep hold of possession as he might have liked, while had a decent chance to end his long wait for a first ever Luton goal when joining the attack and found by Nelson, but disappointingly couldn’t keep his attempt down. Replaced by Adebayo with 17 minutes to go. Photo: Richard Pelham
7. Liam Walsh (STAR MAN): 7.5
Big call from Edwards to start him after just returning from his four game ban, but he began his redemption arc with a controlled and creative, but more importantly disciplined display. Showed a lovely range of passes out to the flank, in particular the odd drilled attempt after the break, as he was always open to receive the ball from his defenders, something Town have been lacking. Added another dimension to the Hatters, and got forward too, seeing three shots charged down, with another free kick blocked by the wall. Set-pieces and corners were good as well, one headed over by McGuinness in stoppage time. Photo: David Horn
8. Zack Nelson: 7
Over on the left hand side of Luton's midfield this time at the venue he scored a magnificent first senior goal at earlier in the season, showing some real confidence on the ball, particularly early on, Always happy to pick it up and look to beat his man, with some terrific skill leading to a good chance that Nakamba fired wastefully over. Back on set-pieces again in the absence of Clark, his corner was perfect for McGuinness to meet with a towering header and find the net. After the break, he drove forward with real purpose to earn a free kick as despite the result, was one of Town's bright spots from the evening. Photo: Alex Pantling
