Luton boss pleased to have Berry back

Luton boss Nathan Jones found one bright point during the weekend's 5-0 defeat at the hands of Reading, the return of midfielder Luke Berry to the first team.

The 27-year-old hadn't featured in the first three matches since the Championship resumed, not even making the match-day squad either, but was fit enough to take his place on the bench.

He came on at half time with Town trailing 3-0, and although couldn't prevent the visitors from adding another two goals to their tally, his return increases Jones' options for the run-in.

The Hatters chief said: "It was good to get him game time as he hasn't trained at all.

"We needed to be a bit more secure with a midfield player that can do both and as Luke hasn't trained, it’s difficult for Luke to get up to speed.

"That's the times where we are gambling with everything.

"We are taking chances with a lot of people, people are having to do 90 minutes shifts, big travels, three, four games in a short space of time.

"We're not moaning about it, we've got to lift them and go again, but it's good to see Luke back."
