Lawless hoping for a repeat performance

HATTERS midfielder Alex Lawless is confident another supreme performance from the Hatters in their televised Blue Square Bet Premier play-off second leg tie with Wrexham tonight, would make them favourites to win promotion this season, writes Mike Simmonds.

The watching Premier Sports audience would have sat up and taken notice as Town destroyed the Welsh hosts 3-0 on Thursday night and Lawless hopes it will strike fear into the hearts of either final opponents AFC Wimbledon or Fleetwood Town.

He said: “Hopefully if we can carry on and take it into Tuesday, I think anyone would think there is a bit of fear (about Luton) which is nice.

“If teams are going to be like that, it might give us an extra edge.

“We’ve got a lot of big game players and it just goes to shows the lads can do it.”

Although Town have a healthy advantage, Lawless didn’t for one second think the squad are taking a result for granted at Kenilworth Road.

He added: “It’s a very good score to go into the game. At half time (in Wrexham), we didn’t come out complacent so I’m sure we won’t Tuesday.

“It’s great when we’re scoring and winning, but after what happened last year, we won’t be complacent.”
