'Light headed' Rea forced off at half time during Rams win

Hatters midfielder Glen Rea was forced off at half time this afternoon

Town chief Nathan Jones revealed that midfielder Glen Rea was taken off at half time during today's 2-1 win over Derby County after complaining he was feeling light headed.

The 25-year-old had been playing well in an opening 45 minutes that saw Luton leading 1-0 through Luke Berry's first goal of the season.

However, he didn't reemerge for the second period with the rest of his team-mates, James Bree coming on, with Martin Cranie moving to the holding role.

Jack Marriott levelled for the visitors, before Jordan Clark won it late on, heading home Rhys Norrington-Davies' cross, but on Rea's absence, Jones said: "He just felt a little bit light headed, whatever it was, diet-wise, or heat, we couldn’t really risk that.

"So we took him off and Cranie did well, but I thought we missed him second half Glen, a little bit of his dominance, the discipline he give you.

"It coincided with Derby changing things and being a little bit better, but I'm delighted with the win.

"There's a few things we needed to do better, but you can't ask for more."
