Luton kept up their fine form with a 2-0 win at Rotherham United on Tuesday evening.
Kasey Palmer’s first half double was enough to secure all three points and to find out how the Hatters players rated on the evening, see below.
9. Emilio Lawrence: 6.5
Probably his least effective game in recent weeks, but with such an exhausting schedule then it's probably understandable during what is his first experience of being involved in a promotion push. With most of Luton's attacks focused on the right early on, he did eventually get into things, trying to go both on the inside and outside of his opponent to deliver crosses into the box. Potshot early in the second period veered wide of the target, although did have another crack that was far closer afterwards, taking Wells' pass to see his attempt parried by Cann. Replaced by Kodua in the closing stages as will learn plenty about himself during this seemingly endless spell of games. Photo: David Horn
10. Kasey Palmer (STAR MAN): 8.5
Showed his intentions from very early on when dragging wide, before he maneuvered himself into space inside the area to escape his markers and tuck home Morris’s cross, giving the Hatters the early goal they desired. Looked to get on the ball as much as he could, finding van den Berg for a decent opportunity, while another brilliantly-timed run into the box saw him bury a downward header and score for the fifth successive away game. Might have bagged a hat-trick only to slice over from Wells' header, as he went hunting for his hat-trick a bit in the second period, trying his luck from the halfway line. Work-rate was never in question as he was still charging around in the last minute. Photo: David Horn
11. Nahki Wells: 7
Held the ball up well in the box as Luton were able to take an early lead, Town breaking the deadlock after just eight minutes. Had a go himself which was blocked behind for a corner, as he then nodded Walsh's pass into the path of Palmer to slice over the bar. Looked like he had been released in the area during the second period, only for a poor touch that meant he couldn't take the ball with him, the opportunity going begging. Should have made it 3-0 when meeting the rebound from Lawrence's shot that Cann parried, only to disappointingly hit the bar from a few yards out, fluffing a golden chance to reach double for the campaign, replaced by Al-Hamadi with 17 minutes to go.

12. Jake Richards (SUB): 6
Brought on for Morris just after the hour mark, but the second period saw the game become that bit more stretched, Rotherham far more of an attacking threat than they had been during the first half, which meant the Hatters weren't able to have such a stranglehold on possession and territory. Involved in some bright moments, but they didn't come to fruition as with another game on Saturday, Luton looked like they were trying to conserve not only the lead, but also their legs.
